How The Two of You Sleep - BNHA
PART 1
Katsuki Bakugo
Katsuki would be the kind of guy that would completely deny any kind of affection until he really got his guard down, meaning, he is totally unconscious when he finally grabs you in a cuddle, one you will never escape! Mwahaha!
~ If only you knew how nervous he was!
~ How he didn't want to hold your hand in case he let off an explosion by accident and hurt you.
~ How he wanted more than anything in the world to hold you close to him but he didn't want you to hear how fast his heart was beating.
~ The two of you were sat studying, until you eventually got tired, already in your pyjamas, you grabbed your boyfriend by the elbow and pulled him into bed.
~ As you begin to fall asleep, Katsuki keeps his distance for a while, you were a bit upset, but felt sure he had his reasons, so you left him, choosing to sleep closest to the edge of his bed.
~ Once Katsuki had finally managed to relax, you could feel his arm wrap around your waist, he seemed to do it subconsciously, he pulled you away from the edge of the mattress and into the safety of his arms.
Izuku Midoriya
I can picture Izuku wanting to be as close to you as possible, but would be way to nervous to be able to do so! I definitely think you would be the one to initiate any affection, that includes while you're both sleeping.
~ 'What do I do!?' Izuku thought to himself, as the two of you were lying in bed, him still wide awake and panicking, you slowly drifting off.
~ 'They're really close! Do I try and bring them closer? Would they get upset and push me away? What if I give them space and they get mad and break up with me!? Think I don't want them! What the f-'
~ Izuku's brain rant was interrupted by the person in question.
~ You had gotten even closer, he could vaguely smell your hair, it was lovely! N-not that he was being creepy on purpose!!!
~ Not only had you gotten closer, you had cuddled up into his chest, your arms around his waist, soft puffs of air leaving your open lips.
~ Izuku's panic went away quickly, the warmth of your body calming him down, almost instantly.
Shoto Todoroki
Once again, I feel like Shoto would be super nervous about sleeping with you, even if the both of you know, it was JUST sleeping, but the thought of being so close to you, when the two of you had barely gone further than a peck on the cheek and holding hands, was making him a bit anxious…
~ Picture this: Shoto lying stock still in bed, wearing more clothes than usual, so as not to freak you out (I feel like because of his quirk, he would sleep shirtless, boy runs hot!), as you lie virtually on top of the poor thing, moving your head on his chest to either sit on his hot or cold side.
~Shoto would be the best to sleep next to during any season, he could tell when you were too warm or too cold and would adjust his body temperature to make sure you were comfortable.
~ It would take him a while to get used to the feeling of you being SO close to him, he could feel your breath against the skin of his neck and was sure you could hear his intense heartbeat.
~ But once he did get accustomed, he would gladly accept any affection you can give him, poor touch-starved baby, he would hold you as tightly as he can without waking you.
Bonus! Shoto would wake up first every morning, making sure not to move you until you had gotten to sleep in, at least a little while, he would wake you up with little kisses all over your face, changing his temperature, tickling you with chilly smooches!
Eijiro Kirishima
Big Man Eijiro! Biggest cuddle bunny, he would definitely scoop you up and cuddle you, just because he wanted to! But he would also take 'No' for an answer, if you wanna be alone, he would leave you alone! Consent is super manly!
~ Eijiro could see you were feeling down, he wanted to make you feel better in any way he could!
~ "Babe!" He called, causing you to turn your head and gaze those sad eyes up at him. He walked over to you and picked you up, bridal style of course, most manly way of carrying his precious cargo.
~ "Let's go take a nap, been missing ya!"
~ With that, he takes you to whoever's dorm room is closest.
~ Eijiro sits on the bed and keeps you in his lap, his strong arms keeping you as close to him as possible.
~ Every time you try and lift your head, to protest or question, he gently places his big hand on the crown of your head and moves you back to snuggling up against his shoulder.
~ Eventually you got to sleep, your hands softly gripping onto your boyfriend's shirt.
~ Smiling at your peaceful expression, Eijiro settled down to sleep with you, making sure not to jostle you too much.
Denki Kaminari
No shame! Absolutely none! He will pull you away from conversations, hang up on your parents when they call to check in and get in the way of your studying until you're forced to nap with him! It's his right as the boyfriend!
~ "Baaaaaby!"
~ You could hear Denki calling you, sighing with a smile and already closing your Heroic History textbook.
~ You got up from your desk, making a nest of pillows so you could at least be comfortable when you were tackled.
~ Speaking of which, your boyfriend has found you…
~ Denki had opened the door to your dorm room, "You ready for this?" He asked with a smirk, trying to be flirty, wound up looking like the most adorable dork ever.
~ Rolling your eyes with a grin, you raised your arms, ready for the hug you would be receiving whether you liked it or not!
~ "YAY!" Denki shouted, before tackling you onto the bed, nuzzling your neck and trying to get as close to you as was physically possible, he was on top of you, your legs tangled with his, as the two of you settled into a nap.
Bonus! I can picture Denki getting either too comfortable, or too excited around you, especially when sleeping, that he would get a bit sparky. Tiny shocks have woken you up before, but you couldn't get mad when your boyfriend looked like he was practically purring!
Hitoshi Shinsou
Tired boy! Needs cuddles! Sort of like a mixture of Denki and Eijiro, he would steal you away for secret naps, especially after Aizawa's training sessions. You were going to nap with him, dead or alive… Sorry, too dark?
~ Hitoshi was getting more and more frustrated, upset that he wasn't able to find you and he'd looked everywhere!
~ He'd bothered your friends, your family, but seemingly didn't search the obvious place, the place you met up, literally everyday.
~ His dorm room…
~ "There you are." He was always a bit blunt when it came to the end of the day, he was way too tired for formalities, but he still greeted you with a light kiss and you guys chatted for a while, before he made his move.
~ He shifted you into his arms, happy with the way you were settled in his lap, against his chest, he was against the mountain of pillows and blankets on his bed. (You can't tell me he wouldn't have the comfiest room, other than Aizawa…)
~ He would get comfortable and be asleep in minutes, this was the moment you had been waiting for.
~ Hitoshi would never let you touch his hair, even though he loved it, it seemed too intimate to him, at least whilst he was awake, he was happy to let you do it when he was unconscious.
~ And you did, happily running your fingers through purple candy floss strands!

And they were Roommates (part 5)
A/N: MY OH MY. This tag list has grown so much it makes me so happy! Thanks to the anonymous ask, i indulged myself and added a little self care on reader being sick. It honestly comforted me.
Again you are all entirely welcome to send some heacanons, tropes or ideas to add to this.
and yes. You'll have the slowest burn ever.
YOU WANTED TO BE FLUSTERED? HERE YOU GO MWAHAHA
Warnings: some 18+ inuendos, swearing.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
You were exhausted. It had been an awfully long week. To your demise, sickness had entered your ranks. Sergeant McTavish was first. Whaling like a wounded soldier every time he felt a cough erupting. The drama queen had soon infected the others.
"We should have taken him out when I said to."
You had rolled your eyes at Ghost's remark.
Colonel Vargas was second. It had been slightly less complicated. He seemed to handle the flu much better. Gaz, he, had sung the song of his people with Soap, acting as if they've been shot. Though as per Price's comment, they complained far less when they had actually been shot.
Of course they had all nested in the apartment, Ghost highly irritated, asking them to go die somewhere else where they wouldn't bother him.
Being a medic had never been your dream. Yet you had to improvise yourself as a nurse for the week, giving medication and hot beverages to the wounded soldiers, or as you affectionately called them, pussies.
Price had followed, he had acted as if nothing was wrong, the obvious raspiness of his voice betraying him. He had kindly refused your offer to take care of him, but gave in at the warm soup for dinner. Your best patient so far.
Now to your worst patient. Ghost. He had entirely avoided any care package thrown his way, resulting in a lot of bickering to the amusement of the rest of the healing squad.
"Take your fucking meds." You said annoyed.
"Fucking make me." He dared.
You threw him your most annoyed glance.
"I will punch you." You threatened.
"Sure thing gremlin, reach my face first." He answered in the same tone.
You had kindly thrown every pillow in the living room at him, taking the one underneath soap's head, earning a 'hey!' from the agonizing man.
He had still accepted warm beverages, and after a very long fight and a threat to get drunk again, he had taken his meds.
It was finally over. Everyone was on the path of healing. Your duty was done.
Unfortunately for you, on this fine Sunday morning, you woke up with a raging headache and a sore throat.
You had been infected by the zombies. The game was over. You sighed. You had hoped very very strongly that you might escape the plague but the fight had been lost. You groaned as you sat up in bed. The warmth radiating from your body couldn't betray the obvious. You had a fever. You closed your eyes, cursing every baby man in the apartment because, OF COURSE, they were still camping around. Price was the only one who went back home for the night and came back in the morning to babysit his men.
You tried to stand, grabbing the black hoodie laying on your desk chair. You'd be fucking damned if you gave him back his hoodie. And he'd have to deal with you stealing the others too. Throwing it on, you tried to walk out of your room, the men complaining in the living room were being way too noisy for your pounding head. Finally appearing in the doorway the men turned to you.
"Oh god… you got sick." Price said.
The look of annoyance on your face couldn't betray it. You walked to the counter where Ghost was eyeing you carefully. You stared into his eyes.
"Johnny, make some tea." Ghost ordered, not dropping his gaze.
"Copy." Soap said jumping from the couch and jogging to the kitchen.
"Gaz go get some meds" he ordered again. "Copy" Gaz spoke out loud, walking to the front door. You felt your cheeks color.
"I'll go buy some snacks." Alejandro said, walking behind Gaz.
"You should get her to bed." Price said, walking next to soap probably to stop him from burning the kitchen down.
Ghost stood, extending his hand. You sighed before grabbing it, letting him walk you back to your room.
"Get in bed." He ordered.
"Like that? Not even a date first?" You teased dropping to your knees on the mattress.
"Stop taking your fantasies for reality." He snickered.
You let yourself slip under the covers again. He turned on the TV in your room, putting Netflix on.
"Ghost…" you asked, unsure of what you're going to say next.
He turned to you.
"Can… you stay…?" You asked.
"Can you give me back my hoodie?"
"No "
"Fuckin hell…"
So here you were. Cup of warm tea in hand, various snacks dropped around the bed, chocolate, candy, chips, sliced fruit and other things. Ghost laid next to you, slightly sitting against the headboard. Community was playing on the wide screen. It was peaceful. You, laying in bed, with your scary dog of a roommate next to you on the bed, his teammates half laying at the feet of the bed and around the room.
You sighed of content. Price had to run off to get some things done, but he promised to drop by in the evening again. Your eyelids felt heavy, the sickness getting you tired. A large hand came to slowly grab the half empty mug from your hands, putting it down on your night stand. You tried keeping track of the show on TV or the boys commenting or snickering at the jokes, but your eyes were fighting against your will.
It felt comfy. Warm. The man next to you seemed to radiate so much warmth. Your head had slightly fallen to the side, resting on his shoulder. You convinced yourself you'd close your eyes just for a minute. Just… a little… minute…
It felt… good… comfy… against his chest… his arm… around you… maybe… you could… sleep… for a bit…
"Sleep little bunny… we're here." He whispered, finally letting you completely give in to your exhaustion.
__
You groaned at the sound of someone repeatedly knocking and ringing at the front door. You peeked at the clock on your phone. 6:20 am. Who ? What?
It couldn't be Ghost. He did go for his morning runs, but… maybe he had forgotten his keys?
You got up, finally giving in. The knocking was non stop.
"I'm coming! God! Just a minute!" You yelled.
The pijamas you were wearing didn't help the cold hair from making you shiver as you walked to the front door.
You opened it, trying to focus your brain on what was happening.
"Oh darling! I'm soooo sorry to wake you up but I really need you!"
You stared at the woman in front of you. Sergeant Melisa Gallegos stood there. You had met her in one of the previous missions, you had gotten friendly with her. She was kind and sweet. You sometimes get coffee and gossip with her. That's how you had gotten to know each other. You had learned that she was a single mother of a 3 years old little girl named Amy.
Which was sitting in her mother's arms, eyes fighting to stay open at the obvious early rise she had to go through.
"I need you to babysit."
"What?"
"I am SO sorry to ask you this. I have a big emergency at the base, and her babysitter is on vacation… " she explained.
"But… I… I haven't taken care of a kid in a long time!" You debated.
"You know Amy! She loves you, you did this before." She tried smiling at you.
You stood before her, looking at her shift from one foot to another, and at Amy just begging to fall asleep.
You sighed.
"Oh thank you thank you thank you!!" She said, handing the little girl into your arms.
"Wait!- I-" you tried.
Unfortunately she had already dropped the two little bags in front of the door and ran off.
You looked at the little girl in your arms, not bothered by the change of person. She did know you after all, you had already babysat for her a few times.
"Alright little monkey. Let's go back to bed. It's way too early." You said, pushing the bags inside with your feet and closing the front door.
When Amy had woken up again, it was around 9 am. You were fine by it as it was the normal time you'd wake up. You two had played a bit on the bed, tickling her, and creating stories with the little plushie she dragged around everywhere with her.
After a good laugh you had decided to get up, peeking at your phone. One notification.
"I'm bringing breakfast, just got to pass at the base first. Be there at 10."
Alright. Gave you time to get dressed with Amy and make her a hot chocolate, with the usual tea for you and him. You had walked into the living room, dropping her on the couch softly turning on some cartoons, leaving you to start on the beverages. You heard the front door unlock, Ghost walking in with the usual breakfast.
"I got-"
He glanced at the couch. Freezing on the spot. The staring match in between the toddler and the man in a skull balaclava was almost comical if you weren't so anxious of Amy's reaction at the masked man. You hadn't thought that she might be scared of Ghost.
"Awe you a supew hewo?" She asked, eyes shining with happiness.
Your heart melted on the spot. You smiled at Ghost who suddenly turned to you.
"How the fuck did a kid spawn here?" He asked, confusion clearly visible in his eyes.
You gasped ready to reprimand him from cursing in front of the child.
"Fwuck!"
You both turned to the toddler who had a wide smile on her face.
"No. No. Nonononoo… Amy sweety no.." you freaked out a bit. God Melisa was going to kill you.
You walked to the toddler kneeling in front of her.
"Darling, that's a bad word… only grown ups can use it… alright?" You tried to explain. Throwing a dark look at the man still standing at the doorstep.
"Ok!" She happily conceded.
You smiled.
"Perfect! Do you want to meet the big man?" You asked. She frantically nodded. You picked her up, walking around the couch to stand in front of Ghost who looked almost terrified.
"Amy, this is Lieutenant Riley. You can call him Ghost. He's my roommate… hum, my friend!" You explained.
You turned to ghost who's eyes shifted from the child to you.
"Ghost. This is Amy. She's my friend's kid, and I had to babysit at the last minute. She'll be spending the day with me."
He nodded.
"Why you wwear a mask?" She asked.
He frowned for a second.
"Hmm… it's for my job." He answered.
"Can I touwch it?" She asked, extending her little hand.
Ghost stared at it for a few seconds before looking back at you.
"Hum, sweety, maybe-" you started trying to defuse the situation.
To your shock he stopped closer, lowering his face, letting the little girl touch his mask. His eyes were on you, and yours were glued to his.
What was that funny feeling spreading through you? The burning sensation coursing through you? God..
The little girl giggled. Before letting her hand drop.
She then turned to you.
"Can I watch SpongewBob?" She asked.
You cleared your throat. Looking away embarrassed.
"Of course darling. We'll prepare breakfast."
You turned away, walking back to the couch and sitting her down, leaving her to watch 'SpongewBob' on tv.
You walked to the kitchen Ghost closely following you.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting -" you began in a low voice.
"It's… ok. It was surprising." He whispered back..
God, why was he so close to you? Why were you so HOT?!
"I'm not used to kids." He admitted.
"It's alright. I'm the babysitter. You don't have to stay." You smiled.
"Didn't we have to go grocery shopping?" He reminded you.
You closed your eyes at the sudden realization.
"Oh… fu-.. I mean… yeah… I forgot." You said.
"We can take her. It'll be ok, right?" He asked.
"Why wouldn't it be?" You questioned back.
"I don't know. It's not too cold for her?" He asked.
God can he stop being so FUCKIN cute?! You bit your lip, keeping the wide smile from being too visible and failing miserably.
"She'll be fine."
Breakfast had been, calm. You were thankful that Amy was one of the calmest kid's you knew. She was well behaved, calm, and sweet. She was, unfortunately for Ghost, extremely curious. And again, to his dismay, she had taken a liking to him. She had been fascinated at the way he raised his mask to his nose to eat.
His lips were one of the things you were used to.
To SEE. USED TO SEE.
On another hand, Ghost had seemed very thoughtful during the morning.
He had eclipsed himself for half an hour while you battled with the toddler to get both of you ready to go grocery shopping. She kept questioning everything, sometimes wondering about things that never ever crossed your mind. You found it funny. It was incredibly adorable.
Zipping her little coat, making sure she had her scarf, you received a text from Ghost.
"I'm here."
You walked out of the door, the little girl holding your hand as you were walking down. You made sure to walk down the stairs at her pace, eyes never leaving her, too scared she might fall even though her tiny hand was secured in yours.
You pushed the building's door to the underground parking lot where you immediately saw Ghost, arms crossed over his chest, all dressed in black leaning against his black jeep. Amy squealed as she saw him. Jumping.
You smiled. You walked to him.
"Where did you go?" You asked.
"We were missing something." He said.
"Really? What?" You inquired, confused.
He moved, opening the back door. You blinked. A FUCKING CAR SEAT. You closed your eyes, sighing.
"Thank you… it had completely escaped my mind…" you apologized.
Amy had let go of your hand, skipping her way to Ghost, hands up in the air for him to pick her up and sit her in the back.
Ghost froze. You were quick to make a move but you stopped as he slowly bent forward. You stood there in shock, watching him pick up the child. She was so small in his arms.
Fuck… was this awakening something in you?
He sat her very softly in the car seat, being extremely careful to make sure she wouldn't hit her head. He moved as if Amy was a little porcelain doll. You saw him fidget to buckle her up, again surprising you. The little 'click' was heard, and he pulled a little on the belts, making sure it was safe. Amy was holding her little plushie babbling about whatever new thing she had learned this morning to the soft thing.
Ghost looked back at you, leaning on his arm against the car. As if taking your opinion on his handy work. You bit your lip. And his eyes fell on the movement, forearms flexing.
"Thanks…" you whispered.
"You're welcome." He answered voice deeper than usual. You finally moved, opening the passenger door, he closed the back door making sure Amy didn't have her leg or arm in the way. You sat in the front, Ghost closing your door behind you.
You took a deep breath. Amy seemed to be enjoying herself, not at all weary of her new environment. Ghost took place in the driver's seat, buckling his seatbelt as well. You watched his movements as turned on the vehicle.
"Ghost…" you called.
He looked at you.
"Did you… buy a car seat?" You asked.
"Yes." Was all he said, attention turning back to his task.
You pushed the Shopping cart where Amy had taken place. Ghost followed you as you tried to remember what you needed. The grocery store on the base was a good thing. It avoided having civilians staring at Ghost. At least here, everyone knew who he was. The fact he was with a woman and a child though, that, caused many to stare.
The fact that Amy was a little blond, curly haired girl, that was incredibly close in color to Ghost's eyelashes also made everyone stare.
You tried to focus on the task at hand, Amy and Ghost not caring at all about the rest of the people in the store.
She kept pointing at things, asking Ghost to explain what It was. It made you smile. The way he was willingly letting himself be questioned by the little girl.
"Oh, i forgot…" you mentally cursed yourself.
Ghost looked at you.
"Can.. you stay with her for a few minutes? I'm sorry… I forgot to grab something." You asked with a sorry look..he nodded.
You smiled at him before turning around and walking out of the aisle, hurrying up. As you scanned the new aisle your phone rang. Rummaging through your pocket you grabbed it. It was Amy's mother.
" Hey! How's everything going?" She asked.
"Everything's fine. Your daughter met Liteutenant Ghost Riley." You teased.
"...what?" She asked.
"Yeah, he's my roommate." You spoke, still searching for the damn thing.
"... And… is everything going ok?" She asked with a little worry in her voice.
"Everything is fine…" you sighed " she likes him more than me, and he acts as if she's made of glass." You said.
"Oh! Thank god! I was worried she might be a bit much for him." She chuckled.
"Well he's not used to it, but he's extremely patient with her." You reassured.
"Alright, I might pick her up late… I'm really sorry…"
"It's ok. You owe me though." You teased.
"Ok, fair." She laughed.
You bid your goodbyes, her having to rush back to work, and you worrying about leaving Ghost and Amy alone too long.
You walked back to the aisle you had left him, finding them nowhere. You frowned. You walked around the aisle, suddenly feeling the anxiety coursing through you. What happened? Why aren't they here? You stopped as you turned left into the biscuits section.
You let out a sigh of relief.
"Ghost!" You walked to him. He turned to you not bothered at all by the situation.
"I've been looking for-"
You interrupted yourself as you looked at Amy.
"Ghost. Why does she have a doll?" You asked.
"She asked for it." He replied.
You looked at the cart.
"She also asked for the plush, the Legos and the ponies?" You glared at him.
"Yes." He replied again, as if the situation was completely fine.
"Ghost. You can't buy her that."
"Yes I can."
"No! You can't give her everything she asks for!"
"Yes I can. She asked nicely. She said please." He explained turning back to lean on the cart.
"That's not an excuse!" You scolded.
"It's my money." He concluded.
Amy smiled widely, hugging the box the doll was in.
You stood there mouth slightly open, shocked from the situation.
She had him wrapped around her finger! You rolled your eyes. This was a fight you wouldn't win. You headed for the cashier's, ready to ring up everything. Amy was thrilled with her new toys. Walking back to the car, you dropped the groceries in the trunk, Amy already had her doll out of the box as she had 'asked nicely', and ghost had ripped the box apart to give it to her.
He had let you buckle her up this time. You headed back home. Stopping at MacDonalds on the way home because, once again, 'she had asked nicely'.
"Stop spoiling her Ghost!"
"No."
Ghost parked in the parking lot. You both got out of the car. You opened the back door, looking at the little girl. She had fallen asleep on the way home. She hadn't liked waking up early, and it was almost time for her nap. You stood there for a little while watching her sleep. She was so cute. You didn't want to wake her up.
The breath on your neck made your hair stand, as he whispered in your ear.
"Do you want me to pick her up…"
You held your breath. He was in your back, cornering you, arms on each side, leaning down.
You slowly looked to your left, planting your eyes into his. Time froze. You were so close. You could feel his breath though his balaclava on your lips. He frowned. Eyes shifting to said lips.
"You're always biting your lip…" he noted in a low voice.
Were you? You didn't even realize you were doing it now.
"Does it bother you?" You hushed back.
"It makes them… red." He stated awkwardly.
"Does it?" You asked. Of course it did. You could see his brows furrowing.
"Makes me…want-" he started, almost growling.
You were hanging on to his every word. Heat pouling dangerously deep in your stomach.
"Why does it make whem red?" The little voice made you both separate instantly. Ghost taking a step back.
You cleared your throat, looking at Amy.
"Hum… well… hum… it's… complicated. I'll explain another time, ok?" You tried, clearly blushing.
"Ok!" She smiled.
God. Keeping children was hard.
The day had gone by pretty fast. You ate lunch, Amy napped leaving you and Ghost time to work a bit. You two were acting as if nothing happened. On your part at least you were obviously embarrassed.
After she had woken up, she insisted on playing with her new Legos. You had moved the coffee table to the side so you could play on the carpet with her. Ghost was sitting on the couch, legs spread, reading a report, occasionally looking at you playing with Amy. Once in a while Amy turned to him proudly showing off her constructions.
Each time he praised her with a little, 'that's really nice, you did good', it made your heart flutter.
He was so kind, so gentle with her.
You could feel his gaze on you when you weren't looking. It burnt through you.
After a while you had dinner, and put on a Disney movie for her. You sat on the couch with her on your lap cuddling her new teddy and her old plushie. She rested against you. Ghost joined after finishing his report.
"Move." He asked.
You frowned. He sat next to you, making you lean on him. You blushed.
"Are you really gonna watch Encanto?" You teased.
"You'd rather I go away?" He asked, looking down at you intensely.
You didn't say anything at all.
The more the movie played the more Amy seemed to close her eyes. It was getting pretty late. Around half of the movie she was sound asleep in your arms. You smiled down at her, brushing a little strand of blond hair away from her face.
"Fuck…"
You looked at Ghost meeting his gaze.
"Is everything alright?" You whispered.
He stayed silent.
"Ghost..?" You asked frowning.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"What.. Do you mean?" You whispered.
"To me…" he finished furrowing his brows in confusion.
You sucked in a breath, but before you could say anything, a knock on the door made you separate. It took a little moment for him to gather himself and get up to open the door. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your racing heart. A few seconds later, Melisa walked in.
"Hey!" She whispered to you, walking to where you sat.
"Hi, how was work? " You hushed back.
"Hell… but we made it… I'm so sorry to have dropped her off like that…" she said, the sincerest sorry look on her face.
"It's alright Melisa. I understand, and I don't mind helping you out. Amy is adorable." You reassured.
She smiled at you, feeling slightly emotional by the look on her face. With the utmost care, you gave her the sleeping toddler.
"I'll help you with the bags." You told her, getting up the couch with her. Looking around at the toys scattered around and then to the new plush she furrowed her brows in confusion.
"Did you buy her all of this?" She asked.
"No. He did." You said pointing at the man leaning behind the kitchen counter.
It was absolutely ridiculous to say that the man, in all black, with a mask made of a human skull, with the most terrifying glance you could fall on, had bought so many toys for a toddler after she had simply said 'please'.
You both walked to the doorstep as she stopped in front of Ghost.
"I'm sorry lieutenant.. I hope she didn't make a fuss. I'm very thankful to you both for keeping her… and for the toys." She said.
"No problem. She's a nice kid." He said.
You smiled at him, he noticed. You grabbed the two little bags and followed Melisa out, walking down the stairs to her car.
"He's pretty nice actually, for a cold blooded killer he is reputed for." She remarked.
"He's still a terrifying man, who sticks up to his reputation by the reports of missions I've seen. He's just… calmer, here." You said.
She had put Amy into her car seat.
"He bought her… a car seat." You said. It sounded more like a thought coming out of your mouth, as if for yourself, it was still something your brain was trying to process.
"He did? Just… for today?" She asked.
"Yeah. We went to the store, and I guess he was worried for her safety, and immediately went out and bought her the car seat." You explained.
Now you remembered how he seemed deep in thoughts during breakfast. He had been thinking about it.
"Well. He seems like a good man." She said softly, closing the back door.
"Yeah.. you're right." You smiled at her. "I trust that this stays in between us." You asked.
"Don't worry. I wouldn't say anything that involves my daughter to anyone. This situation stays knowledge for us only." She assured. You knew that she was extremely worried to have her child on the line. Unfortunately, it's part of the job to earn enemies, and everyone wants to keep their loved one away from it.
Melisa thanked you again as you handed her the bags. You offered to take care of Amy if she ever needed again. After hugging her goodbye, you headed back up to the apartment.
Locking the front door behind you, you walked into the living room where you saw Ghost, holding what now seemed to be his favorite mug, standing behind the counter.
"You look tired. You should head to sleep." He remarked.
He was right. You were tired. Taking care of a child wasn't easy, you were glad for his help. You walked up to him, you saw him stiffen.
"Thank you Ghost. Your help was really appreciated. And I had an amazing day. Amy adored it. So… again, thank you Gh-"
"Simon." He interrupted.
You blinked.
"Wh-what..?" You whispered.
He stepped closer, barely inches away.
"My name. It's Simon." He clarified.
Your mouth opened. Then shut itself again.
Simon.
"(Y/N)." You blurted out.
His eyes flashed something unknown.
"(Y/N).." he whispered, sending a delightful shiver down your spine. Your name, on his lips. Fuck…
"Simon…" you whispered too.
You felt his fingertips rush to your hip, hovering there, too close yet so far. After a second he lowered his hand back to his body.
"You're welcome. It was a good day." He added.
You nodded, smiling at him, trying to hide the obvious way your heart was racing. Swallowing the lump in your throat, you watched him step back, gaining some composure.
"Goodnight (Y/N)." He said.
"Goodnight Simon."

For "your court of owls batfam" au , how would Bruce react if Cobb ever got seriously hurt to the point of maybe having to be replaced? Also how do Dick and Jason feel about Cobb? Do they get along or is it strictly professional?
MWAHAHA I GOT ONE PERSON INTERESTED IN THIS AU ALREADY! *cheers*
Okay so Talon lore is that very little can keep a Talon down permanently. They can even regrow limbs if given enough time! So that’s neat. But basically replacing Talons isn’t a practice often exercised.
I know the Court canonically tried getting rid of Cobb in the Court of Owls saga because he got defeated by Batman and they didn’t think he’d “recover from the shame of being so thoroughly deafeated”.
It therefore stands to reason that he’s aware that he’s easily replaceable (there is always more than one Talon at any given time, although stored away in cryo usually) if he doesn’t perform to the Court’s expectations. Cobb is the best, been the best, Talon for over a century (?) now, but that means nothing if he fails to fulfill his missions.
So let’s say Cobb gets heavily injured by something that shouldn’t have been much of a challenge for a Talon. Let’s say his inattention/hubris/whatever nearly gets Bruce killed—-
That would be scandalous.
For one, his injuries will take several weeks to heal. Weeks in which the Voice will be virtually defenseless without their Talon. This is unacceptable.
And Two, some regular two bit criminals should have never been able to best a Talon in such a way. It’s a disgrace to the Court.
No, no, a new Talon must take Cobb’s place now. He has become obsolete. His services have been appreciated, but, “oh, you understand dear Talon, don’t you? The weak must be culled from the flock”.
And Cobb understands. He does. He’d thought- he thought he’d have more time, though. Time to convince Bruce to let him train the boy after all, to make sure his Voice is protected even after Cobb is gone. That the Court’s machinations will not see Bruce dead before the year is done because the new Talon will not know that Bruce is the best thing to have happened to the Court in a century. They will end up killing Bruce, killing Dick— (he shouldn’t care- he doesn’t care. He doesn’t. He doesn’t. He doesn’t-)
But then Bruce storms into the labs like the onset of a hurricane, all righteous fury and indignation, Dick hot on his heels (wide eyed and still too little with not enough training to hold out against the new Talon long enough to at least escape) demanding what the fuck is going on and why his Talon isn’t back by his side yet.
And he doesn’t accept the scientists’ reasonings that Cobb has done his duty; has become “outdated”. Doesn’t accept the reassurances of the “new one” being just as good— no, better, than the previous one. Doesn’t accept that a new Talon is supposed to protect him now. (“Him or none,” Bruce says, tone colder than the permafrost of the arctic, and at his side Dick’s eyes flash with unvoiced threat. “Now get out of my way.”)
As to the relationship between Cobb and the kids, well. His and Dick’s relationship is tense at first. Cobb has no interest being anything of a family to him despite their blood relations. He only sees Dick as a potential new (and perfect) Talon that could keep Bruce safe if he himself is deemed “outdated”. He’s not happy about all the potential “going to waste” by Dick being made Bruce’s ward, being allowed to live a sort of normal life. But once Dick approaches him for some training in physical combat… well. Sorry, Cobb tried. He really did. But Dick Grayson invented charisma, and even Cobb isn’t immune. He grudgingly starts liking the kid but will deny that until he’s blue in the face. Dick ends up being the Gray Son of Gotham, the highest ranking court member after Bruce with the training of a Talon.
With Jason it’s more straight forward. At first Cobb is pissed at Bruce for taking in a “street rat” and intending to adopt him, but… well, Jason grows on him “like fungus” (a direct quote). At first Cobb doesn’t really know what to make of Jason. The kid is loud and aggressive, but shrinks away like a wilting flower at the first signs of someone raising their voice. (He’s soft, Cobb thinks. The Court will eat him alive.)
But Jason’s also got a spine of steel as he clearly demonstrates when he jumps Cobb with a knife after an unfortunate misunderstanding where he assumed Bruce was in danger of him, and that kind of loyalty at least he can work with. (The kid’s still soft inside as all get out, but he’s excellent at covering it up with violence and bravado, and his charm is that he’s honest in a way so utterly foreign to the Court that it endears him to all the trustworthy members within a few months).
Jason becomes The Heart of the Court, the morality that Bruce was starting to have trouble clinging to; keeping them all on the right path towards a better future. A better Gotham.
(Cobb absolutely loves the children as much as Bruce does. It just takes him a bit longer to get there. And Jason is his favorite sorry I don’t make the rules. COUGH.)
#wait what do we even call the ship?#now there’s a thought lmao#Cobb is a cynical little shit#or a tsundere#both I guess#he denies having affection for anybody#least of all Bruce#sorry but that’s only his Voice#a job#(he said while methodically gutting two people vaguely mentioning hurting Bruce)#and the children are little pests#(he said while bringing them hot cocoa)#Alfred ‘you are an idiot!’ pennyworth#Bruce ‘worlds greatest detective but oblivious to feelings’ Wayne#William Cobb#crackship#Bruce Wayne#jason todd#batfamily#dick grayson#batfam#court of owls#talon#court family

so, if daddy howl doesn’t spank like some of the other daddies do, does that mean i can get away with everything?
by that logic, it means i can try escaping or maybe break everything and try to be a big girl again!
mwahaha! i’m gonna break every single rule before he stops me!!!
— (🍊) anon
Eh, good luck tangerine! Especially dealing with Daddy!Howl.
You can get away without a punishment, sure, but that doesn't mean he won't take...measures. And don't forget he can use magic too.
If he has such a curious, energic baby, then it's better that he keeps an eye on you. You can explore around the castle, but you can't leave without him, much less escape. He could simply erase the doors! Oh, I know you wanted to explore outside, but not know, little dove. It's ok to cry, every baby cries when someone takes their toys. Here, you can have your paci while Daddy read you a fairytale. Or you can simply sit on his lap if you need some times to calm down while you whine and babble about being a "big girl". Oh well, babies repeat everything the hear!

Digimon Frontier - Episode 2
Moving right along with rival-guy's spirit digivolution. And it turns out that the plot for this series is indeed identical to the plot of the D-Project game. Cherubimon is the bad guy again. Why is he destroying the digital world? IDK. I don't even really remember if Cherubimon had a motive in D-Project aside from "mwahaha."
Notes:
There are train digimon now. TRAIN. DIGIMON. What is this Dinosaur Train!? I see what they're doing...(Also, wouldn't it be badass to fight with a train as your partner? lol). I guess we had a submarine digimon in 02, so this isn't all that new.
Glad I have a better grasp on the trajectory of the plot now, but it's still pretty vague. I wonder if they'll run into other kids or some wise digimon to learn more about what's going on.
I like that the episode was focused on Junpei and Tomoki trying to escape back to the real world. It's more realistic than everyone just being fully accepting of their situation immediately. Also, they have more of a reason to believe they can get home since the trains that brought them in are right there.
I know that they're digimon, but I recoiled a little at the thought of feeding "animals" chocolate lol. "That can't be good for them!" (Not how it works).
The Raremon scene was probably my favorite part of the episode. I liked how abrupt the digivolution was, the smooth animation, and just getting the chance to see a digimon who hasn't been featured in a bit.
So...Wolfmon. Did they really have to make him look like a Garurumon digivolution? Koji's bandana is kinda Garurumon-esque as well. Like, maybe it's an homage, but to me it just feels boring. Do something else! The one thing I did find interesting is that they gave him the element of light, which feels pretty different for a rival character.
Why did Takuya get booted out of his Agnimon form? Are they only allowed to have one digivolution at a time or something? (I'm joking, but idk)
Glad that Junpei called Koji a weird guy. Yeah! Acting like a dick doesn't make him cool he's just a weirdo.

Ok, you've been spitting out amazing smutty fics for days on end. Is this you?
Are you sleeping? Eating? Or just writing fics 24/7? I'm not complaining. Keep it coming, but take care of you too! 😘🥰
Thanks for feeding us!
Mwahaha, how did you know this was me😎 I do promise I am well, I eat probably more than I should and sleep way too much. With all the stress of the world, writing is one of my few escapes that truly make me happy, so I’ve just been going to town with writing the last few weeks.
I am just immensely grateful for the incredible support this fandom has shown me. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you all for being such wonderful humans💕🙈

Ashes Denote Fire
RotTMNT Leonardo x Reader One-Shot
Tags: Future Leonardo (TMNT), Bonfires, Gift Fic, Short & Sweet, One Shot, Gender-neutral Reader, Mention of Bad Future Timeline (TMNT), Christmas Fluff, Bad Puns, Puns & Word Play
Synopsis: Leon always got strange around fire and you tried your best to avoid the subject, but when Donnie surprises the family with a Christmas bonfire, you are finally party to the trip he takes.
Also Available on Ao3
A Secret Santa gift for Pip!
Merry Christmas, Pip! I'm sorry to say I don't know you well, but I hope you enjoy!
Also stolen away from @morning-sun-brah mwahaha!
Leon always got strange around fire.
Something you would have thought easily avoidable in the city, holidays brought on the cozy imagery in ways you never expected.
You’d catch him often.
Staring at yule logs set on static televisions, slowing down as he passed shop displays with chimneys, or even the wafting flames of a candlelit vigil, Leon would take on that same far away look amongst them all.
If you had known Donnie was going to build an entire bonfire, you might have protested.
Instead, the softshell had ushered the Hamatos to what by all accounts should have been a spooky alley. Turning a wretched glowing corner, he announced his surprise in the form of an utter transformation of the space. Rotting brick done up by Mikey into a scenic forest, lights honeyed the rusted fire escapes and paved the path to the enormous wooden structure already aflame.
The others ran off. There was a refreshment table. There were reindeer games. There was a pyromaniac’s dream that needed tending to.
Then there was Leon.
Bathed in firelight, he’d stood in the crux that hid away this alley.
Amber lapped at his winter coat and his eyes took on that haunted look.
Unlike Scrooge, Leon didn’t need three specters to haunt him.
He’d had his share and more and you moved with him as he approached the flames.
The others tapered off into Hamato white noise and seemed none the wiser as the older slider stopped short of where the heat became nearly unbearable.
Scorching your cheeks, you watched him where he watched dancing light.
It licked at his stripes and cast his lowered lids with something distant.
A hollowed past, the husk of him had been partially filled in the years since.
There were the younger versions of his family.
There was a world that hadn’t been destroyed.
There was you.
It was never enough.
There was no way for him to be truly healed.
How could he?
What he had helped.
Family helped.
Community helped.
You helped.
He’d whispered it to you hundreds of times by now. He was keen on small surprises. He liked catching you off guard. You could be doing the dishes and he’d appear behind you. With a hand to your waist for a sudsy dance, he’d dip you to whisper about the hope you instilled in him.
He was the preacher of such a thing.
Junior was a testament to that.
The intangible concept kept Leon going with a smile on his face amongst any adversity.
It was his gospel and he knew every hymn.
A caroler so infectious no one could turn him away.
Yet here he stood, unseen as he stared at some far away point where he was usually as unstoppable as a concept.
The words came off your lips before you could stop them.
“Where do the flames take you?”
It waxed poetic which was unlike you, but it was the only way you could think to put it.
He might have teased you, asked about being a modern-day Dickinson, but instead you tapped the time traveler. Caught between two points, he spoke for the present from the past.
“These numbskulls’ll know the time Donnie tried to build a fireplace.”
A smile spread under a shaded gaze.
“We were…” Leon sighed loudly, giving into a closed eye body movement that said age had taken the sharpness off his memories. “Tots, musta been. Learned the whole shebang about Santa and had been fed a line or two about how he snuck in, ninja-style, and left behind our gifts.”
You stepped close, afraid to displace his form.
“We were chomping at the whole Christmas bit. Been there, done that trying to catch the intruder and now we were onto something else.” Leon’s hands itched in his coat pockets.
Beyond the bonfire, Leo and Donnie squabbled over something.
“’Santa doesn’t use manhole covers! He uses chimneys!’” Leon did an impression you couldn’t place.
Splinter laughed loud while April told him to say it and not spray it.
Leon chuckled. “Tots coming up with harebrained ideas. So, we have the mystery man using the wrong entrance. Must mean we’re getting the short end of the present stick because the layout’s all wrong.”
A garland fell and a glowing Raph rose up to fix it.
Leon hummed with another faded thought. “I think it was Mikey who came up with the line. ‘We get a chimney and Santa’ll bring the good stuff!’ No more cast-off gifts for us. We weren’t that dumb. We noticed our gifts weren’t shiny and new like the kids on TV.” He quieted. “TV…”
He since slept with screens on to make up for the years he’d missed rewatching his favorite films.
He had to shake himself out of the stupor. “So, Donnie devises the thing. We collect cardboard for an entire year. We construct the Leaning Tower of Piza and we all drew our stockings on with the care like the song says.”
Casey popped a Christmas Cracker and deemed herself ruler of Yule.
“It was all fine and dandy, but we shoulda known. Mikey hadn’t exactly been quiet about the fire bit. He kept saying, ‘it’s gotta be a real fire or it’s not real!’ We figured he was the youngest, what was he gonna do?” Leon’s teeth appeared as he sounded an error bell from a game show. “Firebug nabbed some matches, knocked out first, woke up when we were out, and snuck around all of us to light the dang thing. Cardboard!” Leon shook his head, his pupils a steady moth to a flame. “Went up like the Library of Alexandria. Poof. One second there and the next gone. Dad was furious. We almost torched the whole lair.”
Mikey asked someone to dare him through a stuffed face.
“Before that though, we got our coal. You know you think fire burns from the bottom, but that’s not true. It’s alive and it wants to escape. It rushes up a structure to get away, but falls like bad wallpaper. It’s alive and it’s fighting. For it’s very life, it just wants to consume. It’s starving, hungry. It does what it has to. It scrounges around and it holds its loved ones close. It makes do with what its got. It creates a new home, a new lair. It rations when food gets low, turning into those glowing embers to conserve. You gotta respect that drive. It’s needs. It wants. It wasn’t its fault that one well timed explosion clipped an old capped off gas line. That in seconds it devastated the colony. That we had to leave. All that hard work. The screams. The burn. It all burns. Us. Krang. It’s another living thing to burn out. Conquered like the rest of us.” His gaze lowered and his sclera reflected ages. “I went back after we lost CPC. Later, to the rubble. You know it was still going? Smoldering little bits were still smoking. Weeks later. Still hanging on. To keep the resistance going. To live again. To keep it up.”
“Leon.” You were clutching his arm before you realized it.
It wasn’t enough to summon him from the fire. “You know the funny thing about ash?”
He needed prompting. “What?”
“I never thought it was from the stuff burned. Don woulda said it was something about laws of the universe and how matter can’t be destroyed, but I never quite agreed with that part.” His head tipped the scales of thought. “I always thought it marked the flames. That’s where the fire was. It was saying, ‘I’m here! I did this! I was alive!’ Leaving it’s mark, long after it’s gone.”
“Like you.” You tugged.
“Me?”
With that your time traveler returned. He always did, in one way or another. You considered it fate. That he’d always return to you.
With levity, he turned to you with a glint in his eye that burned. “And what’s my mark exactly?”
“Here.” You touched his stripes.
“Close, I woulda said it was the one I need to hit for the camera to get my good side.” His smarmy grin shined as he tucked his chin into the webbing between his thumb and finger.
“Uh huh, you’re a certified star.” You looked away long enough to roll your eyes.
“That’s fire, you know.” It was just enough time for him to scoop you up. “Again, close, but I’ll save that one for you.”
“Me?” You settled into his grasp.
“Yeah, I’ll be the tinder and you be the flame since you light up my life.” His brow ridge wagged.
You groaned loudly and protested his mocking smooches. “If anything I’ve got a burning desire to go!”
“’Why did the bonfire leave early!?’” Leon shouted. “You scald me! It was right there! Where’s the lead up!? The craft!? You don’t open with a punch line!”
“Here I am getting roasted instead!” You spoke out of the corner of your mouth, but peeked at him.
Bowled over, you watched Leon field swaths of emotions before he settled on the brightest one and a searing kiss.
💙
Here's the Emily Dickinson poem that inspired me:
Ashes denote that Fire was —
Revere the Grayest Pile
For the Departed Creature's sake
That hovered there awhile —
Fire exists the first in light
And then consolidates
Only the Chemist can disclose
Into what Carbonates.

Hii! I saw your requests open and I wanted to ask could you perhaps write some tickle headcanons for Vash from Trigun? Any version is fine, I just need more tickle content of that silly lil guy--
(Love your blog btw! <3)
-------------{ ☆°•○•°☆ }--------------
Trigun: Vash - Tickle Head Canons!
YES! YES! THANK YOU! I've wanted to write about this goobie woobie for so long! I've actually had some HCs written up for ages but never found silly Trigun fans to share them with! 😭 Bless your little socks anon!! Thank you for the opportunity to go HDBDIAOWKDBAI over my Vashy-Washy! XD Love you dust bunny!!!
--------------------☆ ☆------------------------
Lee:
Being inhuman has its perks. Not many but a few. Immortality is pretty cool. But in Vashs case, hanging out with the humans has brought upon a strange, problem, when it comes to physical touch.
At first, Vash had never heard of tickling or being ticklish. Why would he when everyone has only ever wanted to kill him? Until he met Meryl and Millie. One drunken party had led to a cuddle pile where the two females decided to attack the defenceless male, leading to the discovery. He is, in fact, very ticklish.
He is ticklish absolutely everywhere. Luckily, his huge coat and armour protect him most of the time. You'll have to catch him out of uniform to make him squeal.
Saying catch isn't really right, though. He loves being tickled and won't try to avoid an attack if he sees it coming. Like an obedient pup, he'll lay there and take it. Despite his wriggling, he does his best not to get away or stop those scribbling fingers.
His laugh is wonderful. Bright, loud, full of life. And he's very chatty whilst being wrecked. Being his usual goofy self, he'll say the most random things between his laughter.
"H-Hehey! Ahaha! Gohod I could reheheally go for a snAHAHACK rigihight now! Aha! Hah... Aww, why you stop?"
Brat. Brat. Bratty brat brat. Big playful goob. If he wants tickles, he'll follow you around all day until he gets them. Even if it means tickling you first to get a response, he'll do it. He'll poke you. Scare you. Steal a snack. Even throw some playful cheesy flirting your way.
His favourite are reward tickles.
"Didn't I do a good job taking care of those bandits? Come oooon, you know what to do~" He'd say, sprawling happily over your lap.
Praise him. Tell him how cute he is. It's the only time you might be able to fluster him instead of the other way round. If you manage to accomplish this, he'll cover his ears, trying to hide how red they go.
Drunk Vash tickles? Yes. His gangly limbs are so uncoordinated that he'll just flop around like a wet noodle. Hiccuping and snorting happily. Wolfwood takes full advantage of this as he's usually on the receiving end of tickles~
His most sensitive areas are his knees, ribs, and underarms. He also loves it when you tickle his palm. Having only one real hand means the one he's got needs extra love. The teddybear song is a personal favourite of his. Since he's a big kid, really.
Basically, he loves being tickled. Any time. Any place. For any reason. Laughter is so important to him. How could he not crave the sensation?
Ler:
Run. Just run. This man is a menace. Ever heard of the tickle monster? This guy gives him nightmares. In the best possible way.
For whatever reason, you look down in the dumps, or maybe you just committed the unspeakable SIN of eating his last doughnut. Vash is gonna getcha~
He'll chase you round all day, laughing with you as he puts on his 'villain' voice, cooing and teasing as he makes grabby hands at you as you try to flee.
"I'm gonna getcha~!"
"Mwahaha! You think you can escape the claws of Vash the humanoid Typhoon!? Nae! You will suffer at my hand, Mortaaaal!"
"Wow, you're quick! What's got you so frantic, I wonder? Haha!"
Once he catches you, it's over. He'll use his mechanic arm to hold your wrists, allowing his free hand to do the work.
He's a skitterer. Spider fingers are his favourites since they make his victims giggle the most. Changing spots every couple of seconds to keep you wriggling.
The sharpshooter had also invented his own adorable little game! He calls it 'Don't shoot'.
The ler surprises the Lee, aiming finger guns at them and calling 'Hands up!' The Lee has to respond quick as they can with 'Don't shoot!' Whilst throwing theirs hands up. If they're quick enough, the ler, Vash, approaches with his finger guns, circling and teasing the victim with anticipation. Faking a prod or two. The victim has to not flinch or giggle or they get 'shot' or rather, bombarded with tickly pokes.
Vash, being Vash, always makes the sound effects as he's poking you. "Pew! Pew! Pew! Should have stayed still, bandit!" He also loves being on the receiving end of this game, always losing, curling up as soon as those fingers get too close.
He's so gentle as a ler. Teasy and bubbly as always. He'll pull you into a hug, wriggling his fingers into your sides, blowing raspberries on your neck. He's a big guy, holding you still isn't difficult.
"Ah, Mon précieux, what a lovely singing voice you posesse~"
"A snort!? For me!? Oh my gosh, do it again!"
"Huh? Don't say tickle? Why shouldn't I say tickle? Is tickle a bad word? Is ticklish a bad word, too? What about tickled? Oh gosh, I'm saying all these awful tickly words! Oh well, I've sinned now, might as well go all out~ Tickle, tickle, tickle!"
Once he's tired you out, he'll hold you close to him, chuckling quietly at how flustered you are as he pets your hair. He'll share a doughnut if he feels he's been particularly mean~ Lucky you!
Vash, Vash, Vash. What a goobie woobie he is. My beloved sunflower 🥹 Making this a world build upon love and peace!!! 🤞 Marry me FUCK SAKE! XD
100% Switch!

I “accidentally” invaded the amazing digital circus fandom and now I’m going to infest it with my coping mechanism MWAHAHA
[Ao3 Link]
Taglist: @poprockpanda @brick-a-doodle-do @local-squishmallow @dingbatnix @da3dm @data-expunged-0
Saying Sorry
[946 words] [vomit warning]
“Ragatha… I-“ She hesitated, arm paused as her fingers curled towards the rag doll girl. A sense of dread and guilt stopped Pomni, as she found herself gaping for words that weren’t there, “I’m-“ the sorry felt heavy on her tongue. Pomni knew she messed up, had abandoned the girl in need, favouring her own escape. She thought it was all a dream! Anyone would do the same!-
Excuses were just… excuses. Pomni had to be brave in the face of overwhelming guilt.
Ragatha was gone.
“Raga-“ Pomni spotted the redhead over behind a cartoonishly large children’s block. She rushed over, reaching out again. With all the might in her she burst out, “I’m-“
The doll lit up, an aura of translucent energy around her form, which was increasingly shrinking by the second. Pomni panicked, “Oh no- not another thing! I- w-“
Ragatha, who was now comfortably settled about the size of Pomni’s finger, sat up and stared at Pomni. She looked shy, but spoke out, “I know you’re sorry. It’s okay! Things happen, you were in danger.”
No, Pomni wanted to apologize, “I should’ve saved you, or, maybe not, or maybe I’m dreaming after all and I’m about to wake up with some profound outlook on like and all of this will be-“ she caught herself, “eh, sorry, I… I wish I was there for you, Ragatha.”
The doll smiled, appreciation filling her tiny chest.
Pomni used a palm to scoop her up, “…Why are you small?”
“Oh,” she glanced down at herself, “It’s the digital world, remember? You can do anything.”
“But why?”
“Eh,” she ticked one of the coils behind an ear, “I don’t know when I started, but when I’m really stressed and nobody needs me, I’ll shrink down like this,” she presented herself, fluffing the dress.
“…does it help?” Pomni asked, partially confused and curious.
“It makes me feel small,” she stated dumbly, pausing with a nose scrunch before continuing, “It reminds me that my problems are as tiny as I am, and that they’ll pass, like how I can change back when I feel better. It’s not forever, you know?”
Pomni nodded slowly, “Oh, yeah.”
Ragatha twirled in her dress slightly, smiling with a faint blush.
“You can do anything,” it was meant to be a question, but left her tongue as a forceful statement.
The tiny rag doll eyes fixed upwards inquisitively.
“I’m sorry, again, Ragatha. I want to be your friend, I want you to trust me.”
She was silent as she listened.
“Let me do this, to prove you can trust me, okay? It might feel weird, or be wet and uncomfortable, but I’ll let you back out.”
“Pomni, what are you t-“ her ask became a fearful yelp as she was brought to an open mouth, teeth pointed and presented for Ragatha’s body to be placed behind.
She gasped as she was settled upon Pomni’s tongue. The wet thing rolled her felt body along, flipping her around inside Pomni’s mouth. Ragatha was pushed around by the muscle; it ran along her figure, dropping saliva alongside her body. She was soon drenched, being swirled around like a candy.
While this was mildly disgusting, what came next was terrifying. A gulp sounded around her entire body, aching in her ears like a thunderstorm. It was a sound of horror, as she sped to grasp onto any surface by her. Her plush hands met teeth, and she gripped them shakily. Ragatha’s breath faltered as she stared down at the throat that beckoned her. The uvula dangled meanicingly, like a grim reaper asking you to follow, it was losing to accept, but inevitable.
The ground, or rather, tongue, shifted and wrapped around the doll’s body. The teeth clicked and her world was shrouded in darkness. Ragatha whipped her head around wildly, desperation and survival rising above all else.
“Tr’st m’,” was what boomed around the closed mouth. And Ragatha was reminded why she was standing inside a wet uncomfortable mouth, about to be swallowed.
She couldn’t be hurt here, at least, she probably wouldn’t be. Putting her entire sense of faith into Pomni’s hands, or, teeth, she let go of her anxiety, and let Pomni take a gulp.
The world around her moved once more, as Pomni gulped around her. The slippery muscle pushed upwards and the redhead was pushed until she was sliding down, down, down, and soon falling down.
The throat caught her as it became tight, squishing against her entire body. Ragatha could feel Pomni’s fingers pushing against her from the outside, guiding her journey down.
Before she knew it, Ragatha was inside an open spot, and she clicked it immediately as the stomach. The walls were deep red and wet, the air was stale, and everything was loud and pulsating, movement swaying and slushy.
Pomni was whispering something so soft, the ragdoll cranked her head to listen in. It was incredibly faint, barely audible at all, but Pomni was speaking her affections out, ‘I’m sorry’s, and ‘you’re safe’s. The ragdoll couldn’t help but feel warmed at the sentiments. Maybe it really was a good idea to trust the new stuff.
Then, only moments later, the swaying because violent tossing and turning, and Ragatha’s screaming body was hoisted up, squished back through the throat, and briefly meeting the mouth, before she was thrown up into Pomni’s hands.
The jester smiled lopsidedly, “T-there!”
Ignoring the disgusting ink-like puke around her, Ragatha beamed, “You… you kept your word.”
Pomni’s smile extended to one without awkwardness, “Of course.”
Wordlessly, Ragatha hugged Pomni’s fingers. A thank you was on the tip of her tongue, but the moment said it for her.

[A3! Translation] Magical⭐︎Earl Grey [Itaru SSR]
Thanks for the request!
Translation under the cut
1
Itaru: *sigh*...
Chikage: Good work today.
Itaru: Are you already going back?
Chikage: Yes, I’ve finished all my work for today.
Itaru: Sounds nice…wish that were me…
Chikage: You’re not heading home yet?
Itaru: I’ve got the hell known as a “department social gathering” waiting for me
Chikage: Well that’s…good for you
Itaru: Leaving me out here to die…you’re a demon…or maybe the devil?
Chikage: What are you, an elementary student?
Chikage: Well, good luck either way.
Itaru: Ugh…
Female coworker A: Aww, Chigasaki-san, you’re headed home already?
Female coworker B: Let’s go for round two!
Male senior: This is a way for us to get to know each other, you know?
Itaru: I apologize…I have a meeting with the troupe in the morning tomorrow you see.
Itaru: (I said, like a liar.)
Female coworker A: I see…well it can’t be helped then.
Itaru: Well then, I’ll be off. Good work today everyone.
Itaru: …
Itaru: I’m tired…
Chikage: Welcome back, Chigasaki.
Itaru: Ugh…yeah.
Chikage: Seems like it was quite tiring.
Itaru: …
TV: Overflowing red passion! Warrior of love, Ruby!
Itaru: Ah…my solace.
Itaru: I've kind of been into Amethyst lately but Ruby really is my kamioshi* in the end
Chikage: …you really deserve a prize for the speed at which you were able to get back and lie on the sofa just to watch anime.
Chikage: I can sleep somewhere else tonight, seeing as you’re enjoying yourself.
Itaru: Senpai, this is the episode where Emerald appears in.
Itaru: You might play this role one day, why not watch a bit for role study?
Chikage: I whole-heartedly believe that the “one day” you speak of will never happen, so I’ll pass.
Chikage: But seems like the idea’s energized you already. Don't sleep too late.
Itaru: Its hard to invite Senpai to these kinds of things huh…
Itaru: (But I really am tired…ugh, so sleepy…)
Itaru: …zzz
2.
Itaru: Ugh…
Itaru: ? Where on earth…?
Itaru: (I cant move my arms…)
Itaru: Huh?
Itaru: (Both of my arms are tied together?)
Itaru: What kind of situation is this?
Dark Matter: Mwahaha! So you’ve awaken at last!
Itaru: !?
Itaru: (This guy’s the enemy from Jewelpuri!)
Dark Matter: You’re bait to lure those Jewelpuri warriors!
Itaru: (Is this…the Jewelpuriverse?)
Itaru: (And this guy just said “lure”, so…)
???: We’ve found you!
Dark Matter: So you’ve come, Ruby, Amethyst!
Itaru: Ruby and Amethyst!?
Itaru: (Oh my god no way.)
Itaru: !?
Amethyst: We found you…
Izumi: You won’t escape!
Itaru: (Is that…Director wearing Ruby-tans’s costume!?)
Itaru: (And that’s the costume I asked Hisoka to wear…)
Hisoka: Snzz..I’m sleepy…
Izumi: Come on Amethyst! We’re here to save Itaru-san!
Izumi: There weren’t any other warriors available so it’s just up to us!
Dark Matter: Heh heh heh…did you think this would be easy for you?
*attacks*
Izumi: That attack won’t work on us, who do you think we are?
Izumi: Overflowing red passion! Warrior of love, Ruby!
Itaru: Woah!
Izumi: C’mon Amethyst, you too!
Amethyst: Ugh…can’t be helped I guess.
Amethyst: To protect true love…Warrior of protection, Amethyst!
Dark Matter: You can’t beat me!
*attacks*
Izumi: …!
Amethyst: Agh…
Itaru: Ruby, Amethyst, you can do it!
Izumi: That attack was…barely a scratch!
Izumi: Let’s end this now!
*attacks*
Dark Matter: Auughh!!!
Dark Matter: You…I’ll remember this!
*teleports*
Izumi: Itaru-san, are you alright!?
Amethyst: Is he alive?
Itaru: Ruby…Amethyst…thank you so much.
Itaru: …
3.
???: …saki
Itaru: …?
Chikage: Hey, get up already.
Itaru: Hrk
Chikage: You’re finally awake.
Itaru: Emerald-tan…you’re here too?
Chikage: Who?
Chikage: Geez…this isn’t your dreams, this is the real world.
Itaru: (A dream huh…well that checks out)
—
Itaru: (Well I washed up, I’m pretty hungry…)
Izumi: Oh, Itaru-san? It’s rare of you to be up so early.
Itaru: …Ruby-tan.
Izumi: Pardon?
Itaru: No, sorry, nevermind. I fell asleep watching Jewelpuri last night.
Izumi: You really like that show, huh?
Izumi: What do you like about it?
Itaru: It’s not your usual magical-girl show, the messages the show tries to convey are very deep.
Izumi: I see, that sounds interesting!
Izumi: Where can I watch it?
Izumi: Let me look it up on my phone.
Itaru: …You’re really a kind person.
Izumi: Huh!? What do you mean?
Itaru: Senpai never listens when I talk about Jewelpuri.
Izumi: It’s pretty impressive that you try.
Itaru: Anyways, my oshi is a girl called Ruby.
Cute!
Izumi: Oh, what a cute name!
Itaru: Right? She’s cute but really strong, and her transformation sequence is super cool.
Izumi: Is that so? I’ll have to check it out!
Itaru: Ruby-tan’s hair is so silky.
Sounds Strong!
Izumi: She sounds strong!
Itaru: Ruby-tan’s charm point is that she fights for her friends, no matter what obstacles stand in the way she overcomes them.
Itaru: When I was captured by Dark Matter, she saved me too.
Izumi: Huh? Dark Matter?
Itaru: Haha, nothing, don’t worry about it.
Itaru: Well, Ruby-tan really was super cool when that happened.
Itaru: (even so…)
Itaru: …
Izumi: Itaru-san, what’s wrong?
Itaru: …No, it’s nothing.
Izumi: Ah, look at the time!
Izumi: It’s my turn to make breakfast today, Itaru-san, let me know what you want to eat!
Itaru: Then, pizza toast please.
Izumi: Understood! I’ll get cooking.
Itaru: I’ll help, not sure how much I can do though.
Izumi: That’s rare! Something good happen?
Itaru: Well, maybe.
Itaru: (Kind of want to see the Director in a Ruby costume…even for a little bit)
**kamioshi = favourite character of all time, think ult bias a la kpop

WIP ask meme
Tagged by @ranilla-bean, thank u!
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
my ATLA one is, uh, pitiful and mostly different flavours of the same thing after i got bitten by one really detailed idea that wouldn't let me go, but is also frankly daunting in its scale:
my Dragon Age folder is much WORSE due to a combination of my naturally unhelpful inclination toward names and its many years of experience:
(yeah, I write in notepad. i believe in gambling on my inability to spell.)
many of the DA ones are published, because I don't practice file hygiene and clearly marking completed fics vs incompleted. some are probably easy to guess but good luck with such helpful and illuminative titles as 'muttermutter' 'cute' and 'hawke rising from the trash'.
anyway, tagging (from my most recent activity page mwahaha): @mikkeneko, @sulkybender, @hoochieblues, @pinkbalrog and @missingrache!
if you don't have any WIP art or fic i challenge you to talk about your favourite fic or art piece and why you love it so much. no escape!

MASSIVE dump of thoughts about Rebirth. Obvious major spoiler warning for pretty much every story beat aside from side quests. That goes for the compilation as a whole.
Think of this as a collection of what would otherwise be literally hundreds of separate obnoxious text posts. Half-review, half liveblogging. Genuine praises and criticisms interspersed with unhinged nonsense. This post is so long it's making my computer lag, so make of that what you will.
To keep it organized and make it easier to find specific moments, this is split up chapter by chapter. I cover the Zack/Biggs stuff in a separate section just before the final chapter, and then follow up with some miscellaneous thoughts.
I'm not of hardcore OG FFVII faith. I love the original, and I view it as separate from Remake/Rebirth, so I embrace most of the major changes. This is generally a very positive review, aside from a few nuisances *cough cough WHISPERS cough* and only one genuinely upsetting letdown. Rebirth is more than I could ever have asked for, and I can't wait to spend the next 4+ years obsessively gushing about it. And now, without further ado...!
Chapter 1: Fall of a Hero (The Nibelheim Incident)
NAILED it.
Love seeing Cloud's teenage squishiness scrambled together with the Zack mannerisms. Restless as a little puppy! Body language, facial expressions, etc. I wonder if they animated a lot of it with Zack's model first, and then replaced it with Cloud? Modders are gonna have a field day with this when the PC version drops.
Sephiroth really was just Some Guy, huh? It's very refreshing to see him acting fully human for once. Helps sell the catastrophic mental shitshow that ensues.
Horfin' down those sandwiches Strife style
"You went into my room?" "I did..." LMAOOO THE SHAME IN HIS VOICE. Cody Christian doing god's work voicing this sopping wet pathetic mess of a man
Zangan manhandling Cloud like that was NOT on my Rebirth bingo card.
The bridge collapse scene is beautifully expanded upon. Such a delicious moment if you know the real story. RIP Ramirez. o7
There is NO fucking way Sephiroth just... stood there unfazed by waist high rushing water. Y'all have any idea how dangerous just ankle-deep water is at those speeds? At least the generous use of artistic license in physics is established very early on.
Tifa demonstrating incredible self restraint by choosing not to strangle Zack to death at the mako spring. I would have walloped his cocky ass lol
"Such a puppy." We're establishing the homoerotic tension right away as well, thank god.
oooOOOouhh the way you can pinpoint the precise moment that Sephiroth starts to lose control at the reactor. The way he walks up those stairs.......
Mwahaha-ing over the visual parallels. Raising his hand to the candle flame... Jenova's face flickering over his own... wow. Every shot, every angle is carefully chosen. Cinematography at it's finest.
OG painted a picture of "no survivors," so it surprised me how many people seemed to have escaped from Nibelheim. Although, it's not certain what their ultimate fate was. I imagine they did it this way to show that the incident impacted far more people than just Cloud and Tifa. Makes sense, considering "sheer scale of suffering" is a recurring theme throughout the Re-trilogy so far.
Sephiroth's mass slaughter is bone chilling. The music, the tension, the iconic shot of the flames framing his figure. Goddamn. And then there's the poor trooper, reaching out for his mom.........
"Why didn't they just shoot him?? They had him surrounded!!" 1, Fear doesn't give a damn about rationality. 2, It's SEPHIROTH. They were almost certainly correct in assuming that their dinky little hunting rifles weren't gonna do jack shit.
Catch me giggling over the most mundane shit. LOVE the detail of the sword tip clanking on the metal floor as Tifa drags it. I'm obsessed with lovingly crafted, nearly unnoticeable sound design like that.
"Mother, they have come again." THANK FUCK they kept this line. I don't even know why, it just stuck with me so hard from OG.
Not sure why people are cranky that the flashback cuts off. It ends at the exact same point as in OG. That's the point, it's supposed to be frustrating.
Seeing an unfathomable number of dumbass comments going "huh??? why did cloud tell the story all wrong??? that's not what happened!!" Dear Lord Please Give Me The Strength
AERTI!!!!!!! hell yeah
Tifa being proactive instead of stewing in confusion!! Love that for her. But damn it didn't go down well, huh. "I was so happy to see you again, but maybe I shouldn't have been." BIG OOOOOF
OUCH. Cloud. At least take off the pauldron if you're gonna sleep on that side LOL
Chapter 2: A New Journey Begins (Kalm and The Grasslands)
Very interesting news broadcast ya got goin' on there, Shinra...
Kalm is so so so so pretty. Feels like an actual full sized city now! Wish we could have seen more of it at night, like in the OG.
Broden!! I like him. I want the best for him. I know he's fucked. But really, it's cool to see more SOLDIER characters. We get to see Cloud's uh-oh brain static moments from the outside perspective, and boy howdy, it ain't pretty.
Broden says he's "...on your side. Got a contact at HQ." Meanwhile, my delusional ass: CONTACT? KUNSEL? IS IT KUNSEL? DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE NAMED KUNSEL?
Mentioned it in a different post— I suspected they changed the arrangement of Midgar's sectors. Sure enough, it's confirmed by looking at Rebirth's world map. Is this a meta fate-has-been-altered thing, or is it just a curious retcon? Maybe a bit of both?
HOLLOW REMIX HOLLOW REMIX HOLLOW REMIX HOLLOW REMIX HOLLOW REMIX AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh my god, her name is CHLOE????????? "Chole" was a typo this whole fucking time???? I can't handle this
NOT CHOCOBO BILL BLINDSIDING US WITH THE CLOUD GETTING DOUBLE PENETRATED IN A NASTY SWAMP SHACK IMPLICATIONS???? HELLO?????????
My sweet son Chadley has returned from the time void.
Ok serious talk. Wtf is up with the audio mixing. Someone gave the thumbs up for this production?! The default music volume is WAY too loud and overpowers voice lines. Doesn't help that Remake's npc dialogue deluge in crowded areas hasn't been addressed at all. C'mon people, you had years to fix this shit. It's a shame too, because I would love to hear all of the beautiful music and talented voice acting, just... separately, please.
The Soggy Strife Agenda is off to a great start!
I know Midgar Zolom was a blind idiot translation, but I dunno man. Midgardsormr just doesn't do it for me. Zolom sweetie come home :(
FUCKING. FUCK. WHERE'S THE LINE. FUCK!!! Apparently Sephiroth Did Not Do This. Goddammit. Fucking blasphemy. Genuinely gutted that they didn't include that line. Imagine if they had pulled that shit with Me Gongaga. Unacceptable.
Chapter 3: Deeper into Darkness (Mythril Mines)
"Enough for her Standard Course twice, right?" keep it up Aerith you're doing amazing :)
Ah, the opening area of the mines has been converted into a museum. No wonder people are allowed to just waltz right on in.
ELENA!! Oooooh I love her voice!! She's got that young overconfident sass. Fits her perfectly. She's got me sweating bullets seeing her kick a grenade around like a soccer ball though YIKES
Those Boulders Are Not Made Of Solid Rock
Not much else to say about the mines. Love when the original version of the music kicked in. Barret and Red's dynamic is so good!
Chapter 4: Dawn of a New Era (Junon)
We just, uh, waiting for the bus there, folks? OH SHIT sorry about the bird of prey thing man, that sucks. Hope you feel better soon
Contrary to maybe popular opinion, but I actually love it when you know exactly what a character is going to say or do next. It means the writers have done a great job at getting that character across. Predictable does not always equal bad; tropes exist for a reason after all.
Under Junon. mwah <3
Priscilla!! Omg she's so cute and annoying. Just how I remember.
Soggy Strife Episode 2. This time featuring an off-putting amount of romantic tension between Cloud And That Dolphin
Lowkey disappointed that they cut the uncomfortably long CPR minigame. Gamers nowadays have no idea how good they have it. Back in my day, we had to give mouth-to-mouth for 5 minutes straight in deafening silence.
YUFFIE!!!!!! Oh my god the leakers weren't exaggerating about the naruto run
Yeah ok just. gonna do some good night crunches. Very. Uh. Normal of you, Cloud Strife. God I love this weirdo
ROCHEEEEE My Boyfriend Has Returned
Aerith and Priscilla doing the arm bump thing............ yeah...........
Yeah you work those tanker controls gay boy. I was really expecting a jumpscare as the tanker lifted up. Would have actually shrieked if Sephiroth was just like "sup lol"
WOW the sister ray!!! Honestly the first moment that made me go "DAMN this is Final Fantasy alright!" What a view.
Glad they kept Junon's silly amount of elevators.
Oh hi Glenn
So Aerith wants to know if there are any good restaurants in Junon. Well, maybe if this guy hadn't been busy barfing in an alleyway....
Gee Tifa and Aerith, it's a good thing you guys practiced your highly choreographed military drill, just in case you ever had to pretend to be a trooper during an inaugural parade. Gotta be prepared for even the most unlikely scenarios! (As a writer, I know how it is with suspension of disbelief. But it's still kinda doofy lol)
That being said, I'd let the commander have her way with me
THE MUSIC
Tee hee omg it's so cute to see Cloud in his element! Look at that boy go. He's so into it. I like hearing all of the Seventh Infantry's interactions, too. Really hammers it in that they're all just normal people with their own worries and hopes.
Oopsie daisy. I am not immune to Shinra Propaganda. Huh. Well done, writers.
THE GLABRESCENT!! EXCLUSIVE CLUB FOR BALD PEOPLE
Awww look at all the 1/35 soldiers! Man. This whole chapter is just one huge love letter to the OG. So much nostalgia, plus so much new exciting stuff. God I could go on and on
This Just In, Entire Junon Nursing Home Full Of Elderly People Dies Of A Heart Attack After Rufus Shinra Decides To Fire The Fucking Cannon
Roche please sign my forehead
Uh oh. Yuffie
Yeah Ok don't mind me, just a SOLDIER 1st Class, protecting these little infantrymen with my life. No parallels to be found here, folks
GENUINELY HONEST TO GOD I AM SO SORRY FOR SLICING YOUR BABY ANGEL IN HALF LIKE THAT ROCHE PLEASE FORGIVE ME. Cloud say you're sorry Right Fucking Now.
Oh good no hard feelings. Well. Actually. Uh
Chapter 5: Blood in the Water (Shinra-8/Ship to Costa)
Oh to be a girl hiding away in a cargo hold with another girl.......
Little bit of Traces of Two Pasts! So Aerith told Tifa about Faz, the weird guy that was a little bit too nice to Ifalna. Apparently Aerith is still shaken up by that. Don't blame her.
Ok. I've been avoiding the topic of Queen's Blood, because frankly, my opinion on it is completely unfounded and irrational. I fucking hate card games in video games that are not supposed to be solely about card games. I can't help it. I'm here for the pretty people rpg and the gut-wrenching t4t heartbreak, not for the Magic the Gathering subplot. Any time this game so much as breathes the name Queen's Blood in my direction, I feel something visceral welling up inside of me. So as you can imagine, The Chapter Where You Play Queen's Blood is not my personal favorite.
But I get it! It's not like there was much to do here in the OG. I like that they went out of their way to flesh the ship out and give it more to remember. And for people who like Queen's Blood, I'm happy for them!!
Silly boy humming the victory fanfare I love himmmm
*wiggles*
Gotta get me one of them bigass cardboard cutout palm trees to put on display inside of my grungy metal hallway. Wow what a vibe
DAMN RIGHT YOU SHOULD DEMAND THE MANAGER, RED
THE MOONWALK SJHSYAFDFKKFFJF oh mny fuckijngh god the terrified kid crying his eyes out LMAOOOOO
Dang It! I wanted to see what Cloud looks like swaddled up in that hammock. Why do you deny me that which I desire. Screw your fade to black.
Good to know Hojo is just as disgusting and disturbing as he should be! Yayyyyy :(
"Holy shit..." YUFFIE SAME????? TITOV BOUTTA BLOW SOME TITS OFF????
YEEEHAAWWWW time for another absolute fucking banger of a Jenova remix!!!! I cannot praise the soundtrack enough.
Chapter 6: Fool's Paradise (Costa del Sol)
Obligatory beach episode
Johnny!!!!! My favorite dramatic idiot with a heart of gold! It's ok babygirl I love your seasmell hotel. I'll stay there anytime.
Cloud acting like that lei is strangling him. Sameeee dude same but no really. This place sucks. Too many people trying to force this poor guy to have fun against his will.
If I have to hear "hang loose" one more time, there will be bloodshed.
I do not trust that man to ride safely and sanely on that wheelie. He can't even walk on his own two feet without endangering every physics object in the vicinity.
Empty materia moment actually made me gasp out loud
AERTI DATE AERTI DATE AERTI DATE AERTI DATE
OUTFIT REVIEW TIME
Cloud's Tits Out: An unusual sight. I feel like he should be smooth under there like Link BOTW. He looks a little too robust for someone who's got Big Oil And Brain Worms In There and hasn't slept in weeks. I appreciate the commitment to making him pale as paper and flat as a board. No top surgery scars lose points big time. I'm neutral about the toes. 4/10
Cloud's Business Casual: Immaculate. Tastefully hideous. That blue is NOT your color, girl. Chocobo imagery is always a plus. Absolutely mystified by the untied capris + 3/4 sleeve scoop neck combo. Pretty sure he's not wearing any socks with those tennis shoes. Sneakers in the sand is a helluva sensory experience for an autistic guy like him, I deeply respect it. 9/10.
Tifa's Frilly Miniskirt: Cute and confident. Split between it being utterly out of character for her, or 1000% perfect for her. The white and purple is a great color combo. Slightly concerned about the structural integrity of the neck strap. Uncooperative hairstyle is understandable but kills the vibe a bit. Jealous of the sandals. 8/10
Tifa's Tie Front: DAMN. Stripes with the collar, black jean shorts, hell yeah. The giant belt buckle is just asking for a nasty burn mark, though. Whatever. She's rockin' it. I dunno man, I'm at a loss for words, you just gotta see it to believe it. 10/10.
Aerith's Keepin' It Simple: Tried and true. Pink always works in her favor. Love the little matching flowers in her hair. The wrap around wallet chain is a welcome sprinkle of weirdness. Otherwise masterfully boring; it suits her city-slickin' down-to-earth attitude. 9/10
Aerith's Floral Cover Up: Classy. Got that Final Fantasy princess look with the ruffled sleeves and the push-up cut. The long skirt is nothing short of perfection. Lovestruck by the splash of lime green with the leaf pattern. Can't imagine how annoying those shin-high sandal straps might be though, that's gonna leave a mark. 9/10
Barret's Bear Wearing A Marshmallow: Pillsbury Dough Man at his finest. Faithful to the original, exquisite in 4K HD. Hoist hook arm adds that extra sailor flair, sealing the look. He's having fun with it, and that's what matters most. 10/10!
Ok back to reality
uh oh.
Yup, somehow they managed to make Hojo even more nauseating than ever before. Good. The more we hate him, the worse it'll sting when he keeps dodging his comeuppance. Hohohohoho.... That's Good Writing, Babie! Twist that knife. Keep us ravenously thirsty for revenge!!
Seen a lot of complaints about the women that accompany Hojo to the beach and shower him with compliments and oohs and aahs. Not sure why. Pretty sure it's heavily implied that they're being paid SHIT LOADS of gil to act that way. It's stated outright that they're working for Mayor Kapono, and it's well established by that point that the mayor is wrapped tight around Shinra's pinky finger.
The moment that beach fight started, I knew right away... GRAB THAT UMBRELLA, DO YOUR LEGACY PROUD
Aerith showing her vengeful side, just a tiny bit. So much pent up hatred and grief. Love how it mirrors Cloud's character. She's so forgiving, she doesn't know how to turn anger into action. He's so caught up in his anger, that he forgets what forgiveness could do for him. Man. :'(
Yuffie joins the team!!! Cloud's just like. >:/ lol
Chapter 7: Those Left Behind (Corel)
Fun time is over folks
Huh. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but that's not even close to being a Weapon. Major retcon, or legendary fakeout?
Sighh... Aerith looking up at the sky like that... The longing sure is long isn't it
WELL! Ain't that the dolly zoom of a lifetime! It's absolutely wild to watch Cloud's mental state worsen gradually in real time. Seeing him almost walk off a cliff was freaky. Good stuff
I WILL LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR CLOUD JUNIOR
Poor Barret...... damn dude. The people of Corel were nasty to him in the OG, but they cranked that up to eleven in Rebirth. Wow.
"She your new wife? Well good for you..." istg i'll reach through that screen and choke you out with my bare hands bitchass
"NO." Well that settles that! Gee I wonder why Cloud's not interested in helping out the doctor with his test...... hmm......
Yuffie honey... read the room.........
Chapter 8: All That Glitters (Gold Saucer First Visit)
And now for a jarring tonal shift! Yeahh... this game suffers from awkward pacing. A lot. Though I do suppose that's the point— hellish suffering juxtaposed with distasteful extravagance, just how Shinra prefers it.
Dio should snap him in half like a twig. I think it would be good enrichment for Cloud.
Ok. I'm pretty sure this is like. the fourth time Cloud's pupils have gotten all blown out upon seeing Sephiroth. There may be a clinical explanation for this, but there sure as hell ain't a straight one. The submissive little gasps are NOT helping.
I'm fucking pissed on behalf of anyone who has to stay the night at this dumbass hotel. Oh my god. How could anyone fall asleep in this obnoxious hellscape.
At least the receptionist looks good tied up and struggling ;)
Cait Sith meowing his own theme song is doing something unfathomable to the part of me that almost became a furry back in middle school. Oh god no he's so adorable. I'm screwed
I'm going to dismantle that tonberry robot bolt by bolt.
Aerith and Cloud commentating the races omg kicking my feet like a little schoolgirl i love them so muchhhh
The bike minigame is just not the same without Roche's "encouragement"
Jessie 😭
Ok I'm glad that it's made clear from the get-go that Barret isn't responsible for the shooting, and he also doesn't try to take the fall for Dyne. That left a bad taste in my mouth in the OG, so this is a welcome change.
Cait Sith is a little bit too enthused about the muggin' maimin' and murderin' lmao
OH MY GOD CLOUD. Baseball bat to the back of the head was genuinely shocking. As if he didn't have enough brain damage to begin with D:
Oh yuck. Gus is insufferable and nasty. I've known this guy for all of five seconds, and I already hate his guts. Fantastic characterization right outta the gate. The music is hilarious.
Billy???? How the hell did you end up here????? Kid you GOTTA get tf out of this place
LMAOOO Elena is my favorite turk confirmed. "NO VANILLA."
Oh man. Dyne time. This entire part is so damn good. Barret wants so badly for Dyne to be the beloved friend he used to be, but he's just way too far gone. So much resentment and grief.
Second half of the Dyne battle is a little bit weird, but I can tentatively accept it.
Was definitely wondering how they would handle Dyne's suicide given the teen rating. They circumvented the issue by having Shinra troopers gun him down in a crazed last stand. Different from the OG, but still believable and well written, considering their limitations.
Now that I think about it, this game is REALLY pushin' it with the teen rating. I'm willing to bet the rating boards were like, "yeah uh we can make an exception. it's FFVII we're talkin' about." Still... wonder why they couldn't go as far with Remake.
"You carry that guilt... That weight..." Wow. That line.
Annnnd jarring tonal shift! Robot frog fight versus the comedy relief villain. To be fair, I can't think of any other decent place to put this boss, either. On the bright side, Anuran Suppressor is awesome. Favorite fight in the game so far!
I need this soundtrack in my possession right fucking now.
Oh hi Glenn
Chapter 9: The Planet Stirs (Gongaga)
dune buggy :)
Oh Yuffie... just keep a barf bucket on hand or somethin will ya?
"I just... I feel like I've been here before." Well wouldja look at that... no jenova static...
Going over the hill and seeing the reactor... damn.
CISSNEI!!!! Ouuugh girl you know EXACTLY who tf he is, don't lie.
Noooo give Cait his little mushroom back you meanie :(
Ah. The deranged picnic music.
Gongaga has a much different vibe than it did in the OG. The intense feeling of mourning and hardship is missing. No hazy purple hues or Anxiety playing. Seems like they went in more of a CC direction, with the bright blue sky and uplifting soundtrack. Can't lie, I'm a tiny bit disappointed; I was really hoping for something more heavy and melancholic.
The existence of ordinary chickens in the FFVII universe has some frightening implications for the true nature of chocobos. If you have ever kept backyard chickens, you'll know what I mean.
Ohhhhhhh.... Zack's home............. :((((((
No. No. Don't play Sky Blue Eyes. Don't fucking do this to me. I'm gonna fucking cry. Oh my god no.
"They do say no news is good news, right?" I'm gonna do it.
You know shit's bad when even Cloud "I'm Fine" Strife admits he needs to have a lie down. Yikes.
Man, I really wish we knew more about Tifa and Aerith's chats. Dramatic irony's a bitch.
They sure went all out with the mushroom thing, huh. I know they were trying to differentiate Gongaga in terms of gameplay and worldbuilding, but I feel like they went a little overboard. Gongaga was its own unique thing in OG, not sure why they felt the need to quote unquote improve upon it. Just kinda weird.
Now the reactor is a different story. They did an incredible job here. The scale of the reactor, the unprecedented destruction—
Oh God Damn It The Whispers Are Back
Seriously trying so hard to justify in my own mind why the whispers are here. I don't despise them as a concept, but their implementation is awkward and overdone. In the Gongaga reactor, they fulfill the same narrative purpose as the black robes would: to facilitate the Reunion by mentally dragging Cloud along. Sigh... I get it's because they want to familiarize the player with the whispers in anticipation of future scenes, but it still pisses me off.
That being said, the whispers' theme goes HARD and I'm elated to hear it again. It also fits super well in the Gongaga reactor. So I guess I'm not that pissed.
Touch Me renamed to Amphidex. Can't have shit in Gongaga :/
ooOOOOO!!! The mako fumes getting to Cloud's head! Poor guy's about to pass out. Nice touch.
Sephiroth/Jenova taking advantage of Cloud's mako poisoning... Oh man... the instant change in demeanor is nuts. So fucking good. Here we get to see the first time that Sephiroth has total control over Cloud, and it does not disappoint. Ruthless.
Tifa honey how and why tf are you keeping it together right now. Girl, you do NOT have to fix him. You do not have to show him your boobs a second time. You do not have to take a single thing he says seriously. You can just get up and leave I promise he's doomed by the narrative until further notice 😭😭😭
Telluric Orca Vore Moment was also not on my rebirth bingo card but Okay
Teasing the lifestream. Sure, I can get down with it. Just... y'all got a bit of a whisper problem down here. Want me to call pest control?
"No! Don't take him too!" Damn...
I would not feel safe alone in a room with a man who just tried to kill me, let alone even remotely consider intimacy, but maybe that's just me. It is refreshing to see Tifa and Cloud actually talk things out for a change.
Cloud knows there's something wrong with him and he's so scared... man :'(
What does Aerith say to her???????????? ARRRGHHH
So we're all just perfectly fine with Cloud continuing to be in charge? Nobody's got any objections to that? Alrighty Then
SURPRISE Cid Highwind!! Leaks were right, he's cleaned up. No cigs, less swears, very friendly guy. Not as off-putting as I worried it might be. I'm convinced it's just because he's got a business to run— we'll see good ol' cranky Cid in part 3.
ROCHE NOOOOOOOOOO DON'T!!!!!!!! :(
Chapter 10: Watcher of the Vale (Cosmo Canyon)
Red's real voice reveal! Red's real name reveal!! Though I really would have preferred to see his name change to Nanaki in the menu and subtitles...
Cosmo Canyon is coming off as a hippie stoner tourist trap. Yeah all of these people are correct about the planet and the lifestream, but dang if it doesn't feel like someone's about to heckle me into buying healing crystals and dreamcatchers.
The nostalgia is A++. Beautiful remaster of the music, too.
BUGENHAGEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!! SO jealous of him zoomin around on that sick af crystal ball. Screw the Costa wheelies, I want one of these bad boys.
...A legendary fakeout in the making, I think!
The observatory is stunning. Can't even put it into words. The planetarium brought me to tears, it's such a flood of nostalgia and a deeply emotional scene. I love the nice detail of the planet being different from Earth— mako tinted oceans instead of deep blue. Watching the model planet rot and crumble broke my heart.
Sobbing the whole way through Aerith's speech. My god. Poor girl. Knowing what her fate is in the OG makes it hurt even worse.
Gi Nattak. Would
Expanding upon the Gi. Unexpected but super cool. Their story reminds me of FFIX, with the parasitic planet Terra lurking deep within Gaia. The Gi and the Cetra seem to have something similar going on. Who was here first? It almost sounds like the Cetra and their lifestream are invaders.
I could easily relate to the Gi's opinion, that the endless cycle of the lifestream and the persistence of the spirit is tantamount to torture. Never being able to truly rest in peace sucks. Don't worry friends, I'll bring you the black materia! :) (THIS USER CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH THE BLACK MATERIA)
Aerith sticking her hand into the mako..............
Chapter 11: The Long Shadow of Shinra (Nibelheim)
The intense gaslighting about Nibelheim was one of my favorite things about the OG. It also helped seed even more doubt into Cloud's existence as a real person, setting up his descent into madness over the black materia and vulnerability as Sephiroth's puppet. So the changes they've made to Nibelheim in Rebirth are... unnecessary, to put it lightly.
The villagers do not argue with Tifa or Cloud about their memories of the town. They greet them and tell them all about the town's development into a mako poisoning treatment center. Sigh... Part of what made OG's Nibel revisit so dreadful was the unshakeable feeling that you are not welcome there, and that you're being watched like a hawk. I feel a little bit too comfy here in Rebirth Nibelheim, with how friendly and open everyone's being.
Love the chat with Tifa in her old room. We get so much insight into her thoughts and feelings about Nibelheim, Avalanche, and about Cloud and herself.
"Every time we made eye contact, you'd look away. And when I tried to talk to you, you'd ignore me." ouch, don't gotta poke him in the autism like that
Ohoho. The hotel's digging up some memories. I've said my piece.
dillydally
LORD have mercy. This boy's noodle is scrambled like you wouldn't believe. Good news, he remembers Zack, sort of. Bad news, he thinks he fucking drowned?!???? It's intimidating to see the lengths Jenova/Sephiroth will go to to obscure the truth from Cloud. Damn.
Ok Yuffie is actually starting to get a bit obnoxious. Please stop interrupting emotionally charged moments. We get it, you're excited about materia. Cut it out.
If I were Tifa I would be shitting my pants terrified right about now. Girl I do NOT know how you're holding it together.
And now for the most distasteful tonal shift and momentum killer of all time. It's silly kitty cat hijinks time!! ...What the actual fuck. I like Cait Sith, but this is unacceptable. The basement is supposed to be a sickening place of fear and tragedy. Turning it into a cutesy little box chucking playground is downright disrespectful to the original FFVII. I can't even believe I'm writing this, it's so absurd as a concept. This is the only major change that I'm legitimately seriously upset about.
And by god does it drag on. Every time you think, surely this is the final section!... nope. It just keeps on fucking going. Fuck my life, my blood is boiling. Unreal. Remake's slow ass hand-crane highway thing is nothing compared to this. I'll take a Queen's Blood tournament and a hurricane of whispers any day over this unrivaled masterclass in unnecessary bullshit. Fuck.
At least to some people, the reward for getting through the Cait Sith Crate Slog is worthwhile— a few cutscenes starring Vincent Valentine, and a battle against Galian Beast. But if you're like me, and you're not utterly obsessed with Vincent Valentine or Matt Mercer, then by this point, you're just feeling drained and disappointed.
Overall... least favorite chapter. Mellow start, juicy build up with great potential, completely shafted by baffling nonsense.
RIP Roche. Heartbreaking. It's been a good run. Side note, Roche's conversion into a black robe was... quite bizarre. That's just, uh, how that works, I suppose? Okie dokie then
Oh hi Glenn
Chapter 12: A Golden Key (Gold Saucer Revisit)
Always felt weird about the Gold Saucer revisit in the OG. Unusual pacing. Well, at least Rebirth's being consistent in that regard.
What's the point of the theater if you're just going to do a VR performance instead? I know it's a silly little nitpick, but I wanna hear some soles squeaking on a hardwood stage!
Ah, that's the point of the VR. So Shinra can use a dead woman's likeness to keep selling tickets to their overhyped shows. Surprised none of the characters say anything about that, given Avalanche's well-established anticapitalist message.
This is what Genesis Rhapsodos decided to hyperfixate on? No wonder the guy's hair started turning grey and falling out in chunks. [SARCASM]
Barret sobbing uncontrollably, right next to Nanaki looking like a rejected Crash Bandicoot reboot clapping his paws together. Sums up this entire game so far.
The "audience participation" in the play is altered significantly from the OG. It's, uh, very neat and tidy. I strongly prefer OG's hysterical secondhand embarrassment and awkward ad-lib.
I NEED to know what happens if you fail all of the QTEs. Please tell me it goes off the rails and Cloud gets booed off stage PLEASE.
Pretty song. But my god if that is Not What She Would Sound Like.
The gondola rides!! Overall fantastic. So difficult to pick a favorite. Tifa's is obviously phenomenal, but I think I still have a soft spot for Aerith's. I like that Barret's is taken more seriously; it's such a heartfelt moment. Yuffie reminiscing about Zack was adorable, as well as Cloud relating to her being bad with feelings. The Cait Sith/Cid/Vincent one had me laughing out loud, it was so stiff and awkward lmaoo
THE SCOTCH AND KOTCH DISS TRACK IS SENDING ME???????? SKSJKHAGAAAFDSDSDHHBFD I'm so happy to see these freaks doing their thing again.
RUFUS SHINRA?????
Yeah, no Cait Sith, you ain't garnering any pity from me. Not happening after the crate incident.
Chapter 13: Where Angels Fear to Tread (Temple of the Ancients)
So the temple is to the north now. Understandable, since that's where the Forgotten Capital is, too. Still took me by surprise. Also means we won't be going back to Gongaga... aww :(
HOLY FUCK the way the temple assembles itself... now THIS is what I'm talkin' about!
Teasing us with that fractal square symbol since all the way back in Remake...!
Roche....... "my... friend..." :(((((((
These troopers are NOT getting paid enough for this shit lmao
Oh howdy there Rathalos from Monster Hunter, you look a bit different than I remember
Thank goodness the Cetra had the foresight to incorporate some aesthetically appropriate rest benches into their temple's design!
Aerith's seance + the camera angle of the whole team watching... beautiful nod to FFX...? <3
That better not have been Kunsel.
Reno jumpscare
Elena's pretty pink pistol with the charms and stickers is so goofy. I love her. Hopefully Cloud won't try to chop her head off within the next sixty seconds or anything like tha— uh, nevermind.
oooOOURGHH Cloud is SO fucking terrifying throughout the whole temple. Cody hitting it out of the ballpark BIG TIME with the voice acting. DAMN.
Everybody but Cloud has memories to retread... broke my heart. Sad and scary. By the way Hey uhh Temple? Why the fuck would you do this to us? :(
ugly sobbing
Followed up by the Gayest Thing I Think I've Ever Seen In Video Game History
YOU! WITH THE WING!! GET DOWN HERE!!! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!
Oh god no you're going to make me fight Demon Gate aren't you
THERE'S TWO OF THEM??!?!?!??!?!!! AAHGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HORRIFYING BUT RELATABLE, CLOUD
Wait. Cloud. Hey. Can we talk about it for a sec. Come back please
"There's no point fighting over a fake." WHOA I actually straight up forgot about that twist! Hell yeah! What a wham line!
"I wish I hadnae skipped leg day." pFFFFT LMAOOOOO
"Yeah... I'm good." The Fuck You Ain't
PHHWAAHH HE JUST GETS CRUSHED AWWW!! RIP LMAO WHAT A WAY TO GO
The temple's transformation is breathtaking. And that music score, too, holy fuck.
Honestly I'm not even mad about the whispers being there, they're just a setpiece at this point. Adds to the frantic atmosphere. I'm choosing to ignore their narrative relevance until absolutely necessary.
ROCHE? YOU GOOD THERE BUDDY?
THAT BOY on his hands and knees SCRAMBLING for that black materia. Gayass
CLOUD AARHGRFGGFFFFF OHHGGHH SEPHIROTH HAS COMPLETE CONTROL OVER HIM HHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
OUUGRRHHHH OAWWWWGGHH
LISTEN. Listen I cannot formulate coherent thoughts about this. Go see it for yourself. Just go.
tee hee hee he's so proud of himself handing it over :3
It Begins.
Interlude. The Zack Moments so far:
Yeahhhh not a huge fan of Zack just dropping Cloud off at the nearest recognizable npc. Not after he almost gave his goddamn life to protect him.
MAN! Finally get to see what it's like to enter/exit Midgar. No fade to black, just on your feet and out the gate. Feels good; kinda surreal honestly. Never realized how bad I wanted this.
Regardless of what you think about the Zack thing, you gotta admit, the atmosphere during his sections is ethereal. So beautiful and calming in such a tragic way.
Love how he fights different than Cloud. Throwing punches, brutal kicks, shoulder checks, much like in Crisis Core.
HOLY FUCK don't mind me just gonna uhhh rip this five hundred pound metal post out of the ground and chuck it like a toy hammer. Suddenly the Buster Sword doesn't seem all that unwieldy.
......RIP Barret, Nanaki, and Tifa. Oof. What a way to go out.
DON'T MAKE MY SWEET BOY CRY LIKE THAT FUCK YOU!!! :(((((
Damn bitch you live like this??? To be fair, that's probably the most luxurious resting spot he's had in literal YEARS. Like wow there's a mattress!! And a roof!!!!!
Good to know that Cloud's goofy ass flinging himself out of bed straight into a combat stance thing from Remake is actually a Zack mannerism lol
Ohhh... my heart... seeing things from Cloud's perspective... I like the how this expands upon what the OG established, about "dreams" of this type. Sort of like the sleeping forest scene. Also makes Aerith's resolution scene in Remake all the more curious.
Aww... walking out onto the balcony and seeing the whole garden dead...
Obsessed with the music that plays during Zack's sections. Wow.
Awwww Marlene and Zack are such a silly duo :')
Biggs wtf did you do????????
Ziggs crashing hard onto my list of OTPs. Oops.
Divine intervention preventing a headshot? I'm sure some CS:GO players can relate.
Biggs' and Zack's conflicting memories of Cloud, plus the "broken internal clocks" is intriguing.
"Zack-of-all-trades" tickles me :D
All of their dialogue together is so self-aware... two characters who have had their narrative purposes torn out from under them, desperate to find a new one. The fact that there is no reason for them to be here is the whole point.
"We're all headed for the same place. You'll see your daddy and Tifa again." Oh ok yeah sure go ahead and rip my heart right out of my chest Elmyra
"Hello in there..." 🥺
So Remake Aerith bestowed memories of her future death upon Marlene. Is childhood innocence a prerequisite for this ability to work? Seeing as she did something similar with Nanaki. Otherwise, you'd think she would try to entrust her own fate with someone more influential, like Tifa or Barret.
I cannot fucking believe that Zaclerith endgame is real. Am I dreaming
Aww Zack has Aerith's ribbon tied around his hand...
Chapter 14: End of the World (Forgotten Capital/Final Chapter)
Ok Tsengru shippers. I finally see it. You are 100% correct about them.
Now we're getting WILD with it. The timeline shenanigans are in full swing. Speculation aplenty ahead.
"...or 'homeward bound' maybe?" Still trying to make sense of what exactly these sky-rift worlds are. Aerith's line here seems to imply that this is some kind of purgatory...? Where timelines go to wallow in their death throes? That's my understanding, so far. Especially with all of the mournful npc dialogue.
Aww... Aerith's date with Cloud mirroring the one she had with Zack in Crisis Core :')
I tell you what, the Stamp figurine made me GASP. So that's three timelines now. Beagle, Terrier, Spitz.
So Terrier Zack goes to Hojo in hopes of finding a cure for Cloud. Not his finest idea... but oh well. Jealous of his motorcycle. ;)
Sephiroth is combing timelines for one version of Aerith in particular...? Am I on the right track here? Is this the same Aerith from her resolution scene in Remake?
THE PUG made me spit my fucking drink out. Hot damn, there's four! We saw this timeline's conception in the form of the bright flash of light when Terrier Zack chose to go to Hojo.
So Pug Zack instead goes to Biggs at reactor 6. I really, really love this scene. The pump is dry, the planet's life is flashing before its eyes. A heartfelt moment shared between two characters who have had their narrative purposes torn out from under them. Zack gets a delicious bit of character progression, wanting to take back control of his life. Price of Freedom playing in the background has got me wailing like an air horn.
"I'm sick of taking its shit!" WHOA Zack swearing caught me way off guard. He flees from battle for once, instead of facing Shinra head on in this timeline. Wonder how that'll change things.
"You don't look like you're on a date... More like 'at a funeral.'" Mhm. duly noted
Give it up for timeline number five! Corgi Zack is sitting on the stairs at the church.
"Cloud, Biggs, or Aerith... How the hell am I supposed to choose?" You don't have to, darling. It's called a polycule.
Sephiroth slashes a hole in reality, and the black whispers drag Corgi Zack through it. Starting to think I shoulda done my Lifestream Black/Lifestream White homework.
So far, Aerith+Cloud's date "dream" has taken place entirely in the Spitz timeline. It's not clear if this is also true of the scene inside of the church, especially since Sephiroth comes waltzing in after we just saw him outside in the Corgi timeline. I'm getting the impression that time and space are a very hand-wavey thing in this layer of reality.
HEART EXPLODING GHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now for one of the most exhilirating things I think I've ever seen in MY LIFE.
"Behold... The true nature of reality. When the boundaries of fate are breached, new worlds are born. The planet encompasses a multitude of worlds, ever unfolding. [...] In the planet's embrace, all life is as one." Sephiroth's entire dialogue here... I got goosebumps. That's all.
"Very poor form." LMAO
I notice now on my second watch through, that as early as the sleeping forest scenes, we're cutting back and forth between two different timelines, I believe. Whenever the black or white whispers rush past, we shift perspective from one timeline to another. Pay close attention. Two worlds, simultaneous, but different.
Cloud delivers the white materia from one Aerith to another. Is this the same white materia we see from the beginning of Rebirth? I don't think she swaps the materia out, just transfers its power into her own empty materia, then hands Cloud the newly empty one.
Interesting! Looks like the timeline had already split, all the way back when Cloud handed over the black materia. Previously we saw Cloud and Aerith fall, but now— the white whispers rush past— and we see him rescue her and pull themselves up before they fall. Interesting!
Some youtube theorycrafter will piece together the symbolic significance of literally every tiny detail in this prerendered cutscene and make perfect sense of it. Looking forward to it too, because this is WAY above my paygrade.
Hello, whiper pest control services? Hi, yes, I would like to know why the white whispers are suddenly getting in the way? I thought they were my friends :(
Aerith's prayer :(((((((((
OHHGH MY GOD fucking legendary use of the haptic/adaptive triggers. Holy shit.
👁️ 👁️
Meanwhile, Zack Fair
me, banging my fists on the table: KISS! KISS!!! KISS! KISS!!!! JUST KISS ALREADY!!!!!! KISS!!!
Lmao Zack is so indifferent to this interdimensional insanity. After being the protagonist of Crisis Core, he's just like "lol whatever this is fine"
"Look at you takin' charge! I like it!" 😏
Zack+Cloud synergy attack!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!
"What in the hell is going on!?" SAME ZACK, SAME
AERITH!!!!!!!!!
OH FUCK IT'S THE SONG
the hand hold 💔
i'm incoherent. i'll figure out my thoughts about this some other time
Oh hi Glenn— OH SHIT??!?
THE SWORD CAN DO THAT?????? what
Man... the in-game skybox does NOT do that rift in the sky justice. Absolutely staggering in the final prerendered cutscene.
Next time I have a migraine aura, I'll be at ease knowing that it's just the timelines rippling and merging. No big deal
Two separate worlds, one where she lives, one where she dies. Realities overlapping and intertwined. Cloud's fragile mind fluctuating between both… wow. Can't wait to see where this leads in part 3.
Misc. thoughts, not chapter specific:
Love the accentuated mako in SOLDIER eyes. It irked me that the iconic mako color was so muted in Remake, so seeing it so vibrant in Rebirth is sexy as hell.
Um. No comment on Glenn, really. I'm not heavily invested in his story; maybe I'd be more interested if SE had actually done anything substantial with First Soldier and Ever Crisis. I don't mind that he's here, and the Jenova/Sephiroth twist was pleasantly surprising. Matt and Lucia name drop was also a nice touch. It's pretty obvious that the only reason Glenn is here is to help set up a confict against Wutai for part 3. Fair enough.
So no Kunsel? *SMASHES PHONE ON THE GROUND* *CRUSHES SKATEBOARD*
#PHEW. finally got most of it out of my system.#ok. now i can focus my autism ray on something else.#ffvii#rebirth spoilers#my writing <3

Scene Prompt 23
Mwahaha finally had enough time to knock this out! I don’t usually do comfort so this was a exploratory turn ^.^ Also my apologies if I got any duck information wrong, I have a pair that visit my yard every year so it inspired this. Also, sidenote, ducks don’t partner for life, just for seasons apparently? So while I thought I was seeing the same couple each year, I only recently learned it may just be the male or the female bringing in their season’s mate to the yard but I can’t determine which lol.
CW/TW: None :) All comfort
Whumpee went about their day in a robotic fashion.
Sweeping, mopping, dusting, vacuuming etc... Everything seemed droll, boring, routine. Even in the modest sized rustic cabin.
Quack.
A soft, distant sound from outside interrupted their monotony.
Turning to the small cabin window, smoothed clean and gleaming by Whumpee's relentless routine to stay busy the last few days and escape boredom out here, they looked out to the yard of various grasses and greens.
Nothing.
Honk.
Perplexed Whumpee looked out again, looking this way and that. The grass was a few inches tall and extended around the cabin as a small clearing, though keeping the brush of the surrounding forest from encroaching back was a constant battle Caretaker said.
Still nothing?
Quack honk quack.
The sounds were much closer now and easier to hear but Whumpee had never heard them before in their life. What could make such a strange sound? And why did it fill them up with that warm fuzzy feeling Caretaker said was joy and happiness?
"Quack." Whumpee whispered quietly when there were no sounds outside to be heard anymore. Still looking and turning their head this way and that to try and find the source of the sound. Not that they would recognize it but hoping they would.
"You hear the ducks outside Whumpee?" Caretaker asked softly, knowing to keep their voice low and soft when approaching an unaware Whumpee. "I can take you to see them if you want to?"
Whumpee's heart still jumped in surprise, Caretaker was always quiet even when they didn't mean to be with their footsteps. Though they appreciated the soft voice that was so unlike Whumper's loud and obnoxious one.
"...Duck?" They asked Caretaker questioningly. "What's a duck?"
Caretaker's eyes softened like they usually do when Whumpee asks those kinds of questions. From what Whumpee could tell, they never seemed to mind teaching or showing them what it is Whumpee needed to know or learn to move about in the world.
That's why they lived out here in the woods. Taking it slow, introducing Whumpee to different plants, small little insects like butterflies and that one tick that bit their leg and needed taking out.
The fish and game meat Caretaker brought home that first day Whumpee couldn't bear to see, having already seen enough blood and guts to last a lifetime. And the smell was too painful.
Bringing forth memories Whumpee would rather forget.
For their sake, Caretaker ascribed to the forager's diet with Whumpee, running into town for dairy and bread and taking up carpentry while giving up hunting for the time being. Slowly introducing Whumpee to the natural world outside the cabin each day.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the lake they like to swim at the most." Caretaker said, holding out their hand to Whumpee with a smile while omitting the fact that they knew the ducks hung out there was because of the duck hunting seasons they used to take part in.
It was too soon for Whumpee to know about that side of Caretaker's life.
With total trust and complete excitement vibrating through them, Whumpee placed their hand in Caretaker's and practically jumped up and down.
"Yes! Yes sir, please take me to see the ducks!"
Caretaker couldn't help but notice that while Whumpee still held on to some of their conditioning, the excitement that overtook them didn't keep them as quiet as they were trained and cowed into being. And they were glad for it.
Before Whumpee could notice they made a loud noise and panic over it, Caretaker lead them out through the cabin door and took them down a path that was well worn by plenty of feet from Caretaker's family over the generations.
The path lead to a large, crystalline lake not far but still a nice hike from the cabin for a mile or two, Whumpee wasn't quite sure as they almost skipped along.
And the lake was full of the feathery...things. Whumpee didn't have a word for them. Other than beautiful.
There were two kinds, though both were mostly brown. One was all brown but had white tipping the brown feathers so that the round brown thing floating in the water looked mottled with the chocolate brown dominating. Chocolate.
Whumpee's favorite food. Which made this round brown thing Whumpee's new favorite. It also had a strange iridescent blue square on one feather which was very intriguing to them as they floated by gracefully on the water, quacking away.
The source of the noise!
Next to the round brown things were slight bigger ones that were creamy, with their dark chocolate brown on the inside. They made a lot more noise and shook their emerald green heads every now and again as they would tap at the mottled browns.
"You see the green one pecking the brown one for attention? Their all ducks which are a type of bird, Mallards to be specific, the ones with the green heads are the males and the ones that are all brown are the females. Right now the males are trying to partner up so to speak."
Whumpee watched wide-eyed with awe as Caretaker explained.
The cacophony of sounds from the quacks and the honks echoed across the lake like a musical as Caretaker gestured Whumpee to sit down on patio bench that was on the pier.
This must be where Caretaker got all those fish earlier...Whumpee thought before shaking their head and focusing back on their new favorite birds.
"I like ducks." Whumpee said sighing happily and leaning on Caretaker's shoulder, the sun slowly setting over the lake.
"I figured you'd say something like that." They said, laughing softly.

I may be cheeky in asking this as a scenario (Mwahaha!) but hope you don't mind me writing it out for an M's response to it. XD
Note: This is M and MC after dating for at least 6 months.
It is half past noon when M discovers the contents of one of MC's many books. MC owns a lot of books and willingly offered M to read any of them, should they feel the need to try a new one.
So when one of the journal-looking books falls and the pages open up, there are quite a number of words in MC's handwriting. One stands out more than any other word.
M's own name.
Now it stares at them, along with other information about the Steele individual themselves. The pages are written with the dates of when they were written; some speak of when MC first met M, and others tell MC's admiration towards M during one of their many 'contests' when the two had been competing against one another back in the day.
Then a passage from the MC, back when they had just returned after many years of absence. A bucket list. MC had mentioned before about having made one during their time in captivity. Being trapped in that bunker left so much time to dwell on the things they couldn't do.
And M can see it all, the entire list. One about setting K free from their marriage, another about spending more time with B. And one, in particular, about telling M a truth they have held for years.
Tell M you love them.
"M!" A voice calls and at the doorway, MC peeks their head in. "M, have you seen my-" Her eyes nearly bulge out upon seeing the book in their hands. And judging by the lack of words from MC's open mouth and the shyness sprouting on their face, it's safe to say they know just which book M is reading. MC now stands at the doorway, revealing their whole form, as they bury their face in their hands and groan with embarrassment. "Just when I thought I can't be any more of a dork around you." They peek at M between their fingers. "...How...much did you read?"
Feel free to refuse this ask if it's just too much! I'm sorry it went off the rails ^^"
M’s response would hinge on the MC actually. If they felt like the MC would be more comfortable not knowing what they saw then M would play the oblivious onlooker. If the MC didn’t care? Then M would be upfront immediately.
MC Cares: “I didn’t read too far, my darling,” they reply, a soft tinge to their tone as they shut the book with a sharp snap of finality. Completely fine with the fact that they’d probably never see the contents hidden within its pages again. “And I like when you’re a dork around me.” They grip your chin in a gentle hold, forcing you to meet their sparkling azure gaze. “It makes me feel better when I’m a dork around you too. We’re perfectly matched.”
MC Doesn’t Care: They tilt their head for a moment, deliberating on how to respond before they settle on the easiest thing. The truth. “I read enough,” they supply, keenly aware of the way your shoulders slump ever-so-slightly. “We’ve both been dorks, my love.” A light laugh escapes them then, humor suffusing itself within their azure blue eyes. “If only we had been more upfront to begin with.” They step closer to you, angling your head up with a soft touch to your chin in order for you to meet their gaze. “I’m honored that I made it onto your bucket list, because being with you has always been on the top of mine. Even if I wasn’t fully aware of that fact.”
