Quarter of a Century - Harry Styles
a/n: i wanted to do a more massive fic to celebrate my bday with you all but i’ve been all over the place all week and this is all i could put together :( but i hope you’ll like it! anyway, here is a little something from me to you for the occasion of me turning 25 (ehhh)
word count: 1220
masterlist
Harry knows you don’t necessarily like parties, let alone the ones that are celebrating you. Growing up you were never the kind of kid to beg for a birthday party, you just usually invited over your best friend and watched movies in the basement, ate candies and had a sleepover. You didn’t like the attention on you, all the looks, the greetings, that everyone wanted a word with you. It was just not you. You were the kind of person who let others be the star of the show while you stood at the sidelines and probably this is why your relationship with Harry was so balanced out. While he was the well-known, famous, center of the attention person in the spotlight who enjoyed every bit of praise thrown in his way, you were always more comfortable being the support system, the one in the back who fell out of the preying eyes and nosy questions. The two of you managed to keep your relationship a secret for almost two entire years and with all the hype that follows your boyfriend everywhere he goes, that’s a huge accomplishment for sure.
But from time to time, Harry liked to push you just a little. Just enough to get you out of your shell and accept the attention and praise he thought you always deserved. All together he has posted two pictures of you on his social media platforms that put you in the center of the attention, talked about you just a handful of times during interviews and appearances, but he always made sure not to take it too far. Just enough to bug your comfort you are all too used to.
Today has been another occasion of his attempt to make you the main character and there’s an occasion for that. You’ve turned twenty-five, an age Harry thinks of as a kind of milestone in one’s life.
“That’s a quarter of a century, you can’t just not make it to be a big deal!” he always told you when your birthday came up in previous conversations. For you, it was just another number, the middle of your twenties and one step closer to your thirties.
If you’re being honest, you don’t necessarily like to think about how now you aren’t even considered a young adult anymore. You don’t feel like an adult and even though you fully function as one, it’s still hard to wrap your head around the fact that time is inevitably ticking over your head, because… time waits for no one.
You knew he was planning something. He couldn’t keep secrets from you, his eyes always talked for his mouth for you, after spending three and a half years together and being friends for over five, he couldn’t hide anything from you fully.
He made your best friend take you out for a day at your favorite spa, getting massages, all kinds of treatments, get a manicure and pedicure and eventually get your hair done as well. You left the building pampered and very aware the reasoning behind the activities. And just as you expected, arriving back to the home you are now sharing with Harry, you found your closest friends there, the living room all decorated as they started singing Happy Birthday to you.
It was a pleasant surprise. Not an over the top party with hundreds of people, just about thirty of your inner circle, together for the occasion of your birthday.
“Are you mad at me?” Harry pouted his lips at you when you were done with your first round of thanking everyone for coming. Tucked away in the corner with a drink in your hand you smiled at your boyfriend, cupping his scruffy cheek in your other palm.
“Of course not,” you chuckled softly as a smirk tugged on his lips and leaning down he kissed you gently.
“I know you hate birthday parties, but you deserve the praise, baby. Wanted to make it special for you,” he hummed, kissing your temple as you melted into his embrace, his arms wrapping around your frame.
“I know. Thank you, H,” you smiled and you really meant that you weren’t mad at him. How could you ever?! When you know damn well Harry always wants the best for you, sometimes knowing you better than you know yourself.
Now the party is officially over, the last guest left ten minutes ago and you are about to start cleaning the place up when Harry stops you.
“I already got it covered. A team will be here in the morning to take care of it.”
“You shouldn’t have,” you give him a look, but deep down you love that you don’t have to be the one to wash all the dishes and clean up the mess.
“Mm, but I did,” he smirks, pulling you into his arms as he kisses you tenderly. “Did you have fun?”
“I did. I don’t even know how you got so many of my friends together, it’s impossible to make plans with them!” you chuckle, snaking your arms around his neck.
“It took a lot of planning,” he smirks, very much satisfied with the work he has done. “Want to go to bed?”
“Yeah, I’m so tired,” you huff, your body loosening in his hold so his arms are the ones holding you up mostly rather than your legs. He tightens his embrace around you, hoisting you up so you wrap your legs around his waist. He carries you into the bathroom with ease, turning the water on to warm it up as he sets you on the counter, pushing his lips between your thighs. You throw your arms up above your head, signaling him that you want him to undress you, and he chuckles softly, but bunches the fabric of your shirt at your stomach before pulling it over your head and off of you, pressing a chaste kiss to your naked shoulder as he drops the shirt into the hamper in the corner. You don’t stop there, extending your legs so he can rid you from your pants as well and this time he doesn’t leave it without a comment.
“Thought you turned twenty-five, not five to need help with undressing.”
“Do you not want to take care of the birthday girl?” you pout at him, tilting your head to the left. Smirking he pecks your lips as his fingers start to work on the button and zipper of your pants.
“Oh, I do, baby. That’s all I want in life,” he smirks, nuzzling his nose against yours as he yanks the pants off of your body, making you chuckle as he struggles a little to get it past your ass that’s planted on the counter. When he is done, he takes care of his own clothes while you free yourself from your underwear and hop to your feet once you both are naked.
“So, do you want to have birthday sex in the shower or in the bed after we showered?” he prompts with a cocky grin, but you arch an eyebrow at him.
“Why not both?”
Harry gifts you with a toothy smile as he wraps his arms around you, naked chests colliding as he drags you into the walk in shower.
“That’s the answer I wanted to hear!”
Thank you for reading, please like and reblog if you enjoyed it!

||The Pastas At The Beach||
this was originally like an entirely different post but ehhh this ways better!
disclaimer Im setting this like, at a beach with a boardwalk and such next too it? Public beach, small time vacationing!
and that they conviently like..pass as human
I hope you guys enjoy!! remember too check out my announcement board!
taglist: @frozensriracha @creepy-bi-day @capricornartistsstuff @krayolacolor
Jeff the Killer
Jeff doesn't really do much at the beach
The salt water irritates his skin and he burns easily, doesn't want too deal with it
Spends most of his time asleep
Hogs all the damn towels by sprawling out all over all of them
Gets sand over everything that they brought with them
Forgets how wind works and it gets everywhere
When its time for some of em too go get food, he always fucking goes
Wants too walk around and do something, and maybe not get blamed for all the fucking sand when everyone sits back down
He wears one of those like protective long sleeved shirts? and red swim trunks that are just somewhat obnoxiously bright
While getting the food he has a brilliant idea
Befriends the fucking seagulls
Lures them back too their umbrellas and just vibes with his bird army
atleast he's not alone anymore?
Ben Drowned
first off I know like he doesn't go swimming
but imagine if he did
his fucking goggles get filled up with blood
gets weird ass tan lines from the blood on his face like, when he's not swimming
has too wear the goggles when he puts on sunscreen-
ok ok thats it
fucker wears like mountain dew swim trunks
and those arm floatie things despite not going anywhere near the water
He tries too sit around Jeff but that gets boring fast-
Just walks the fuck off without telling anyone, on a journey for adventure
Will spend literal hours sitting underneath the boardwalk until someone finds him
After that they get him like one of thise beach toy kit things
Sally's nice enough too fill the bucket with water too, so they can make sand castles and stuff
She walks along the shore line with him, gets pretty shells too
Also if Ben were too go in the water
He's a fucking shark magnet with all that blood-
But don't tell him that, he won't come back too the beach
Ticci Toby
Toby is very excited too go to the beach
He didn't get out much as a kid
Siked as hell too get in the water
Drops his stuff off as soon as possible and runs right into the water
And thats when he realizes he can't fucking swim
Awkwardly flaps his arms around until a wave moves him along too back where he can stand
Everyones kinda confused when he comes back like "?? You were so excited, what happened?"
"I can't swim :(("
Cody volunteers to teach him right away, like the great brother he is
The thing is Cody is a horrible fucking teacher
Another few minutes of Toby getting owned by some waves and Cody just screaming stuff like
"Use your arms Toby- no not like that how I showed you- no I'm not going too help how are you supposed to learn-"
That's when Kate drags him back too shore and Doby and Brian teach him instead
In a bit he learns and ends up having a lot of fun
I feel like Toby would really like boogie boarding?
A lot easier then surfing but still a good time
Also they have too tie a red scarf around his arm so they don't loose his ass in a crowd, or in the water
Third Base
so far, Doby's the only one on this list who actually came prepared
I feel like he'd use one of those face lotions that has SPF 30 in it already?
Smart enough so he doesn't have too smear sun screen around his face, can just use the spray stuff and get going
Also has shoes and sunglasses too go with each like swimsuit/outfit he brings
Mans is put together
Really likes collecting shells and stuff
Walks with Sally, shows her how too find them
Wakes up kinda early as it is? So its easy for him too go too the beach early and find the shells before the tide pulls them back out
It's one of his favorite times, actually
The suns just rising, a few shops are opening, only a handful of people are on the beach
Does it everyday as his "alone time" before everyone else wakes up
Spends most of his time with everyone kinda relaxing?
I can see him really liking those beach volleyball games
Or just playing frizbee in the shallow water!
Really, really enjoys making sand castles
Builds a moat and everything so it stays up when the waves start coming closer
X-Virus
Cody, another kid who never got much beach expierence
But acts like he did
Buys one of those waterproof, phone lanyard things
Forgets too fucking close it properly
Doesn't have the first idea of what seagulls are like
"Oh come on buys its fine-" gets fucking owned for his cheesestick
Lowkey scared of them after that
Refuses too eat on the beach after that
Sits with ben under the board walk and curls around his chips
Spends most of his time in the water
Wants too see how far he can go before the lifegaurd calls him back
Finds it funny as shit too just slowly go deeper while grinning at them
Until a wave slaps him in the back of the head
And then he gets scared of the deepwater too
After he looses Swimming Coach privellages gets really fucking salty and sulks on the beach
Kate takes pity on him and walks around the boardwalk with him
But he also didn't know you have too reapply sunscreen after you go swimming
Gets really really bad sunburn
Jeff, Ben and Toby take turns slapping it whenever he gets too cocky
Masky
This is gonna be a Dad Tim one, fight me
Really has no idea what the fuck is going on, but still manages too keep everyone together?
Tells the same story, atleast twice a day, about the killer wave that almost took his shorts off
Gets in fights with seagulls whenever they get realitively close too the group
Also buys one of those crappy beach wagon things too put their stuff in
Buys a mug and cheesy beer koozie
Doesn't enjoy the beach that much but gets excited too go?
Ends up sitting down for most of the time unless he gets dragged on walks
Might just kinda walk until the water is at his knees and just kinda stand there, and nod a little
Giving mother nature his approval
He takes Sally out and holds onto her stomach, lifts her up over the waves whenever they come
Asks her what she can see, before he drops her back down
Tries it with Ben, gets kicked in the gut-
Favorite time is when it's dark and they go
Not for a long time, just a few minutes too walk along the shore before it gets dark
Hoodie
Designated photographer
Is supposed too be taking photos but mostly gets footage of the stupid shit that happens
Like Jeff not being able too figure out the dishwasher or Clockwork wrestling with her dresser where only half the drawers worked
Just kinda sits back and watches things go up in flames
He's the designated like playlist guy too?
On the drive over, whenever he got bored just
"Hey what song should I play?"
And watches chaos ensue
His vacation is watching everyone else have a bad time
Makes up for it though, saves them a shit ton of money by making dinner every night.
I feel like he genuinely enjoys late nights on the beach, like Tim
Gets some beautiful photos of the water, and people taking walks that he's pretty damn proud of
Maybe once or twice he'll join Doby for a walk too get pictures of the rising sun
Likes getting small things from the gift shops
Shark teeth, maybe a cheesy snowglobe
Something silly but nice too remember the trip by
Eyeless Jack
first things first, ya know those double-lens glasses?
Like you flip up the sunglass part and theres normal lenses underneath?
Someone gave him those
But their are crappy eyes painted on the normal lenses
He's very confused but its just ridiculous enough for him too like
The beach isn't his favorite place, I HC him as nocturnal and most things are open during the day
He takes too the rides and crappy carnival games that are open late at night
He can't see everything super well but makes up fun things for himself
Enjoys going on rollercoasters that he has no idea what the hell the drops look like
Fucking hates bumper cars
Can't tell where everyone's coming from or when
More nerve racking then fun
Whenever they go to the beach beach he just kind of chills
Akwardly curls up on a towel because he's big as shit
Where ever they stay he walks around, uses his echo location shit too find out all its quirks
"This walls more hallow then that one- those support beams in the lobby are doing a very shitty job of keep things together"
Loves sitting out on the balcony and just smelling the salt air, listening too people laughing and the ocean waves
Just the small details a lot of people miss

I have watched Star Wars: Visions! All of them! On the whole I was entertained. As with any anthology like this, there are ones I liked more and ones I liked less. I'm going to do a very quick, spoiler-lite (no twists or reveals, just general impressions) post-mortem on them in order of how much I enjoyed them. None of these are canon, but I will also address the question: Could It Be? Not because that's an indicator of quality, but mostly because it's a fun mental exercise.
I watched these in English across the board. The dubs were all fine. We've come a long way in that department. I tried watching in Japanese but there are no English subtitles that aren't also closed caption, which seems like a ridiculous oversight on Disney's part.
9. Akakiri
Animation is okay. The story is kind of a mishmash of things and I didn't care much for the direction it took. Not all of these need to be "Star Wars" as I understand it - part of the appeal of anthology productions is the diversity of points of view. But this really didn't vibe with me. Disappointing note to end on since it's the last one in the "season." 3/10
Could It Be Canon: Ehhh, not really.
8. Lop and Ochou
Gorgeous animation, solid premise, weak execution. The stakes are arbitrary and I didn't feel we got a satisfying story arc. Things felt rushed in some areas and too slow in others. I enjoyed the pretty pictures though. 4/10
Could It Be Canon: There's a few elements in there that make me say "no," and the bunny people are not one of them, for the record.
7. T0-B1
This was a cute story. Lots of cute designs, simple story with a nice message. The animation isn't really my cup of tea but for what it is it was executed with great artistry. 5/10
Could It Be Canon: Not in a billion years.
6. The Twins
Pretty-looking nonsense. This is definitely the most "anime" of all the episodes, and I don't necessarily mean that in a good or bad way. I know the Internet has been dying to see Waifu Grievous in action, but I thought the action was just passing okay. 5.5/10
Could It Be Canon: Hell could freeze over, the heat death of the universe could come and go, and this still would never even remotely approach canon.
5. The Village Bride
Very pretty, kind of a contemplative Thing. Suffers from a lack of... something. Like there's a lot going on here, and that's not a bad thing, but it doesn't mesh quite right. Pacing is off, and the climax is cool but I don't know that all the dominoes that fall necessarily add up right. 6/10
Could It Be Canon: Actually this is one of the more canon-plausible episodes. You could definitely squint and say some of the elements are just artistic choices rather than hard deviations from how we know canon Star Wars to work.
4. Tatooine Rhapsody
This is kind of a ridiculous premise but you know what, they pulled it off. The animation is fine, in a cute, exaggerated chibi style that really helps sell the tone of the story they're telling. I had fun with it. The fact that its story hinges on a band making music means there is music, and I thought it was not bad. 7/10
Could It Be Canon: Again, it's kind of ridiculous, but nothing in the story technically conflicts with how canon Star Wars actually works. And think about some of the stuff from the old EU. Waru makes this look down-to-earth.
3. The Elder
Slow as hell to get to the actual point, and the characterization is laid on pretty damn thick (we get it, the Padawan is trigger-happy), but the payoff is well done and the animation is very solid. Plus, I think this is the first time we see trakata (tactically turning off and reigniting a lightsaber) actually used on-screen basically ever. 7.5/10
Could It Be Canon: Absolutely 100% could be canon.
2. The Ninth Jedi
Really beautiful animation, excellent premise and payoff, and good pacing. I have basically nothing bad to say about this one except that I would have liked more of this story, since they left us with many directions they could go. 9/10
Could It Be Canon: Ehhhh, no. The central premise of the story is predicated on the idea that a situation could come into being where lightsabers are lost technology. From everything we know about lightsabers in both old and new canon, the hardest part about making them is acquiring a crystal and then attuning it using the Force. If you're Force-sensitive and you're even moderately tech-savvy, you should be able to figure it out.
1. The Duel
I would rather have ended on this one, because it is the best by *far.* Gorgeous animation that seamlessly blends Kurosawa-style samurai cinema with Star Wars aesthetics in the best possible way. The story is simple, but effective, and the pacing is dead on. This is what I signed up for when I pressed "play" on Visions and it delivered. 11/10
Could It Be Canon: Not really. There's a little too much here that can't just be hand-waved away as artistic choices. But I would watch or read the hell out of something set in this "version" of Star Wars.

Naruto Shippuden Openings Ranked
Aight y'all, I said I would do this months ago, so here we are.
Just like my last ranking post, I have no real reasons as to why I like this OP over that one. They're just poor reasons and explanations that I'll probably change my mind about after posting.
But yeah, this is gonna be a long post, so let's get to it.
Also just a disclaimer- I had a very difficult time ranking the openings, especially at the bottom. Just note that I like and enjoy every OP except one.
Actual ranking is below the cut because yay I can use my laptop to make posts now :D
Number 20 - Tsuki no Ookisa - OP 14
I always thought this was called “Size of the Moon” or something like that
This OP
Oh boy
I used to just hate this one with a passion
And I still do!
Okay not literally, but it’s still my least favorite
I see what they were going for
Red, black and white vibes
It’s….okay?
And the song
Yeeesh
It just doesn’t make me feel anything but the huge urge to skip it
I’m so sorry if you really like this OP but goodness I really don’t like it
It’s one of the only ones I don’t like vs don’t mind
I will say
The end though?
Where its showing the freeze frames of everyone
That looks great
Itachi at the beginning looks great
It definitely has its moments, but just not enough to make me really enjoy it
Number 19 - Hotaru no Hikari - OP 5
Or as I like to call it
SHA LA LA-
I already know y'all but to come for me on this one I'm sorry
This opening is,,,okay…
Now that I’ve seen all of them, I kinda have this bias of “I know what the next opening is and that’s a whole BANGER” so I kinda sleep on this one
But its not bad
I always love the Naruto and Sasuke parallel shots
Just not up there for me
Number 18 - Guren - OP 15
Another OP I lowkey just disregard after watching all of them because we all know what follows this one
But it’s not bad at all
I love the split screens
And then it all comes together
Kakashi and Obito’s split screen looks amazing
Actually, all of their shots look amazing
The song goes well with the visuals
I love the colors they used
Seeing Madara is always a treat
The shot of the hokage is good
But uhhh
Yeah that’s about all I got
Number 17 - Newsong - OP 10
Don't kill me plez
A lot of people don’t like this OP
I can see where they’re coming from
But it's goofy and wacky, and honestly not so bad
It ain’t nowhere near top tier, but I can enjoy it more times than not
The part where they’re running and do a lil jump
That took me out when I first saw it
The animation is supposed to accompany the wacky feel, and I feel that the animators had a lot of fun with this one
Overall, I don’t dislike this OP like most
I actually like it
But admittedly, it’s not strong
It’s very cute tho
It makes me smile
That team jutsu though
What the hell
I don’t know how I feel bout that
Also B falling
That was a nice addition
Also also Sasuke refused to be a part of this wacky ass OP which I love
Number 16 - Niwaka Ame ni mo Makezu - OP 13
This OP is fine
It doesn’t really do anything for me until the 5 Kage are shown fighting Madara
Which looks great by the way
But also gives me storm 3 war flashbacks
It’s pretty overall
Like all the parts with Naruto look really good
The individual shots of the 5 Kage and Sasuke are meh
I don’t really care for that part
Overall, ehhh
Number 15 - Moshimo - OP 12
I’m not gonna lie
I totally forgot about this OP
It’s fine
Nothing really excites me
I do like 2 parts though
Where Ay tries to punch Minato and he gets out of the way to fist bump baby B
And when Naruto is in the middle and it zooms out to show Kushina and Minato behind him
The song is good
Overall, okay opening
I was torn over whether to put this one above or below OP 13, but I decided above because I like the ending part more
Number 14 - Toumei Datta Sekai - OP 7
Another OP I really slept on
A lot of people really adore this one but I just don't see it??
It takes a second to kick off
It really only gets started for real when we see Pain and the trio’s flashbacks
After that, it’s pretty good
The music picks up, the visuals start getting quite interesting
And that Pain v Naruto moment where they just stare at each other and it shows both faces
Looks amazing
And of course, Kakashi brings some spice into the mix
It’s always a great time when we can see him in action
Makes me wish we got the girls v Konan though
But yeah, the shot with Naruto falling in
From then on, it's incredible
Number 13 - LINE - OP 18
From here on, these OPs are just the ones I love
This OP is a major breather
The song is very slow and nice
Visually, I love the choice in focusing on one thing at a time
Once character at a time
It looks very nice
The little destiny shard flying around
And I love how there’s variants in who interacts with the shard at the very end
My favorite is Itachi because he gives the shard to us and I’m not crying you are
It’s really pretty too
Not much to say here
I just really like it
It’s not top tier, but it’s a great OP nonetheless
Number 12 - Closer - OP 4
THAT SHOT AT THE BEGINNING
Where everyone is looking back
I absolutely love it
I absolutely must know if the budget was actually blown on Hidan spinning his scythe
The shot looks great though
Another vibe kinda opening
The ending is so cute with Naruto jumping in the air
they did that to cover the gaping hole in our hearts
ASUMA WHY
Also I completely forgot there was a second version until I saw it while pulling up the link
First version is better
Number 11 - Lovers - OP 9
That beginning part with the camera cutting and focusing on the three
Yeah that right there is great
And the explosion behind Killer B
Love that shit
They really went all out for the aesthetic kinda look
And it really pays off because the OP looks very very good
The song is pretty good too
But I probably wouldn’t listen to it outside of what’s in the OP
Every shot with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura on the divide is really good
Number 10 - Blood Circulator - OP 19
Ah the top 10
Another song that is hype asf
I honestly prefer the third version with Naruto and Sasuke
But even still, this OP is pretty great
It’s a lot better visually in the second version because there’s not a lot of lingering shots
I love the shots of Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Itachi and Iruka
But I also love that the whole first version is summed up in no time in the second and we move onto better shots
But the third version is the best visually
With the fights and flashbacks
And the ending with Sasuke staring and Naruto crying and then they fight
That rasengan is great
But even still, all versions look pretty good
I really don’t have that much to say about this one
I enjoy it quite a lot
Number 9 - Hero’s Come Back!! - OP 1
Everybody and they mama be dancing to this I swear
It’s a bop and a half
Honestly what a great way to start the series
I’m bopping every time it comes on
And that shot of Gaara holding out his hand before he don’t feel so good
My heart
I mean, what else can I say about this one
It’s just great
3..2..1 MAKE SOME NOISE
Number 8 - Totsugeki Rock - OP 11
First things first
THE SONG????
IT’S A WHOLE BOP
EVERY TIME I HEAR IT
I GET SO HYPE
Naruto’s face at the beginning caught me off guard the first time I saw it
Visually, this OP isn’t bad at all
I actually really enjoy this OP a lot
It makes me dance and headbang lmao
I would say the song carries this one, but nah
The visuals really go well with the song
I really don’t have much to say about this one
It really is just so fun and hype
And I really love it
Number 7 - Kaze - OP 17
This OP is very pretty
It’s another one I slept on
It’s animated so well
All of the freeze frames we see are stunning
And it’s animated very well
Also long Kakashi segments always get extra points from me
And this one is gorgeous so even more points
I love the kinda traditional style they were aiming for with the textures
The cuts to the hand signs are good too
Also in sync with the music which y’all know I love
The aesthetics in general are just so lovely
NIGHT GUY YESSSS
HE LOOK AMAZING IN THIS STYLE
This OP has some of the best visuals in all of the OPs
I can’t even express how beautiful it looks
And seeing Minato and Rin slowly fade by as Obito falls and Kaguya is revealed
So good
The song goes well with the visuals too
The song in general slaps
Overall, very good
Number 6 - Distance - OP 2
YOU ARE MY FRIEND
Okay SUE ME, I’M A BITCH FOR DISTANCE OKAY
I just love this mcfuckin opening so much
It caught my attention when I first started watching Shippuden
And it’s very pleasing to look at
Also that “Thank you my friend”
Hits me every time
And overall it’s a vibe kinda opening
The walking scenes are the best
Not a lot going on on the eyes, but it still looks really good
Honestly, it’s probably my favorite OP, but it’s not the best OP
And I’m a sucker for the emotions
And this OP brings it hard
It’s definitely ranked higher than most would put it, but I can only put it so low
I love this OP so much
Number 5 - Karano Kokoro - OP 20
Holy fuck
This OP
Damn near brings me to tears every time
This OP was,,,,well,,the end
This was the conclusion of the story
And my goodness y’all
It still hits me in the feels
The visuals with this one carry it on home
It hits hard seeing everyone growing up
Let’s talk about the visuals shall we
Starting right from the beginning
Shikamaru just sitting as the music comes in
By the way, the music fits so well with everything
But yeah, seeing him just look up with this soft music just warming your heart
And then it cuts to the shogi board so we know exactly what he’s thinking about
Then to Sasuke
Sasuke
With everything that’s happened with him, just seeing him be able to just breathe
It’s everything y’all
And then we get to see Naruto’s stone face up there with the rest of the hokage and then to this lovely vibe
Naruto and Sasuke doing the hand sign that saved the world
"Tell me the story of your life"
That shit right there
They knew what they were doing when they chose this song y'all
InoShikaCho eating some barbeque
Kiba being loved to death by Akamaru and Hinata smiling
Do y’all see why this just makes me so happy yet?
Free Kakashi points
The shot of Naruto as hokage
That part got me good when I first saw it
And even a little now
Lee, TenTen, and Temari showing that they’ve still got it
The zoom in on InoShikaCho to Ino saving Sai
THE WHOLE EVOLUTION OF NARUTO AND SASUKE
THE HIGH FIVE
THE P I C T U R E
HOW ARE Y’ALL NOT CRYING
The story has finally come full circle
And there's finally peace
It’s just overwhelming happiness
I really love this OP so much
Number 4 - Blue Bird - OP 3
HABATAITARA MODORANAI TO ITTE
Blue Bird slaps
Visually, it’s absolutely incredible
Like that one part
Y’all know that part I’m talking about
Where Sasuke and Naruto do that parallel switch
*chefs kiss*
It’s just so good
AND THAT’S ONLY ONE PART
THE WHOLE THING IS JUST SO PERFECT
AND IT REALLY GOES SO WELL WITH THE SONG
Y’all better know by now how much I love the visuals synced with the music
And this song delivers on that
I know I have so much to say about this one, but I’m not gonna remember to say it until after I post
I prefer the second version (even though it’s just the same animation from Closer)
MEZASHITA NO WA
AOI AOI ANO SORA
Number 3 - Diver - OP 8
Let me get this out of the way
I LOVE Diver
It’s another OP that just always got my attention from the get go
They really calmed down with the visuals on this one
Instead opting to have the very pleasing gentle visuals that match so well with the song
And then he gets blasted out of the water and it gets SO GOOD UGH
All the hidden gems you don’t recognize until you rewatch it after seeing everything come together
I love that
And then Sasuke coming in to get all up in Naruto’s personal space just to fuckin chidori the shit out of him
It’s quite sad
But then his friends just lift him up
My heart
Then he wastes no time just rushing in to save Sasuke in the same 30 seconds as when Sasuke attacked him
It really shows his character
But also it was a whole direct reference to how Sasuke was looking over him back when he first left in the rain
That’s the subtle little hidden gems I love to see
Also the music just slaps so hard???
Like hello??
Who told y’all to make something so good????
And did I mention that I just love the visuals??
Number 2 - Sign - OP 6
EVERYBODY SHUT UP THIS IS MY SHIT
I REALIZE THE SCREAMING PAIN
HEARING LOUD IN MY BRAIN
BUT I’M GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD WITH THE SCAR
*drums going ham and guitar absolute shredding*
CAN YOU HEAR ME
CAN YOU HEAR ME
CAN YOU HEAR ME
SO AM IIIIIIIIIII
Okay now that that’s out of the way,,
THIS SONG FUCKING GOES HARD Y’ALL
IT’S SO HYPE
I am ashamed to admit that I used to sleep on this OP
Wait….
Both Sign and Silhouette have people turning to look at the camera-
And they’re both so good…
Dare I say…
Is this a….SIGN
I’ll leave now..
The opening part with Jiraiya and Naruto and then Sasuke and Itachi
My heart y’all please
AND THEN THE CHORUS
AND THE VISUALS
Y’ALLLL
ALL THE SHIT WAS GOING DOWN IN THIS ARC
AND THE VISUALS STILL GET ME HYPED TO THIS DAY
EVERY MOMENT IS JUST GREAT
There really isn’t a single second where I wanna look away
I can’t gush about this OP enough y’all
It’s so damn good
Also y’all know I gotta mention the hair whip
I’ve never felt pain like I did for Jiraiya and Itachi
It still hurts
But the OP
It’s just amazing
It still gives me goosebumps
UGH OKAY OKAY I’M DONE GUSHING
OR ELSE I’LL GO ON FOREVER
OKAY ONE MORE THING
But as I’m rewatching all of the OPs for this, I just fell all the way in love with the show again because of this OP
Number 1 - Silhouette - OP 16
Speaking of silhouette
We all been knew
From the get go, it’s just a blast
The song and visuals are a match made in heaven
Oh, and don’t think I won’t be gushing about them individually
Firstly
The song
KANA-BOON need to chill bruh
This song is SO GOOD
A BANGER
A BOP
WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT
THEY WENT TOO HARD ON THIS SONG
I DON’T UNDERSTAND
AND THE LOOK OF THE OP???
STARTING WITH EVERYONE TURNING TO THE CAMERA ONLY FOR OBITO TO SHATTER IT WITH HIS LOOK
TO THE WHOLE SERIES RECAP UP TO THAT MOMENT
IT’S AMAZING
I CAN’T EVEN PUT IT INTO WORDS Y’ALL
The colors pop
It’s so pleasing to the eye
All of the transitions and smooth animations
Like Obito and Madara aging up (and down)
The quick flash of baby Kakashi and baby Obito before we even see Madara’s aging transitions
Y’all know I love the camera focus/glitch effect and it’s used a lot here
Naruto’s aging up while running
The switch between the static look to the smooth look
And the pencil drawn kinda look
They really went so hard on this OP
MADARA’S BREAKDANCE MOVES AND FLIPS?!?!??!
Everyone getting the cloak
That shot of Rin spinning in time with the music
ALL OF THE FAST CUTS OF WHAT’S TO COME AS THE GUITAR FINISHES UP THE SONG
Everything is always synced perfectly with the music and it really just makes it so much better
Especially because the song is so fast paced
To match up the visuals with individual words and not just full measures or half measures
Like just one example
Obito walking and him aging up
All synced with the music
Y’all
I can go on about this opening FOREVER
It’s a true masterpiece
Right, well that's my ranking. Took many hours but I'm pretty happy with it for now.
My ranking will be completely new by tomorrow morning
But yeah please hit me up if you disagree/agree with the ranking. I love discussing these kinds of things with people!
This is starting to sound like a youtube outro
Also unfortunately no gifs to make the post pretty this time ;-; I'm having technical difficulties.

Lately i’ve been thinking of my complete and utter loathing for the WolfStar ship. I guess because people are back to roasting JK for the garbage that spews from her on twitter. Got long. Below the cut.
And a lot of people like to bring up Sirius and Remus and how they were gay coded and then she gave Remus a last minute female romance to try and stop the shipping of them (which of course that’s not how it works anyway and she’d be stupid if that was the only reason for it). And of course, i know when i read it, that’s not how it came across to me. I was very confused because Harry was viewing it as a crush on Sirius (which was gross cause we knew they were cousins) and then it was Remus. And. yeah, it was out of the blue. But we see the stories from Harry’s point of view. We aren’t seeing all the interactions and shit. So like....ehhh there’s so much possbility of things that could be going on. Severus Snape and Dumbledore could have been having sex and we wouldn’t have known (but...please no....i just disturbed myself with that image).
And i almost want to like wolfstar, just to spit Rowling. But nope. It still disgusts me. Maybe it’s because i’ve only ever read stories by one author and that author wrote the same story no matter the AU (like literally....they were all the same. And maybe my stories are like that too. IDK). And they never addressed the thing that makes me think Wolfstar is awful. I think i’ve only ever read one Wolfstar fic that addressed this event, and it was the only tolerable one for me.
But here’s the thing. Remus deserves so much better than Sirius. Like....1000000000 times better than Sirius. Man or woman. Why? because of the poorly named “Prank”.
Look. This isn’t even a Severus defense post. But let’s talk about how James and Sirius tormented Severus so severely and yet the school did nothing. Leaving Severus to have to find a way to get them expelled for breaking rules. And how Sirius took advantage of that and ended up giving Severus the information he needed. Sending him straight to the shrieking shack. On a full moon. And people write it off like a prank. For all i love Severus, I will call him out on the asshole that he is (i won’t stand for people over exaggerating and i will point out other things at play in situations, but he’s still an ass through and through and did cross some lines). But fandom seems to ignore this “prank” and play it off.
But it’s also why Remus deserves better than Sirius. And I think the only reason Remus might have continued their friendship was likely pressure, and that internalized “no one can ever love me” thus clinging to the only people that seem to.
But we know Remus hates what he is. And he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. In fact, we know that was a fear of his when his friends found out and pulled their stunt. Sweet though it was in the end. But Sirius threw that all out. To not only out Remus to their school nemesis, but to use him as a weapon against that nemesis, who was also still a child. This then put Severus at the mercy of James for saving him. And then on top of that, after crossing that line, Sirius and James continued their bullying of Severus.
And we know Sirius doesn’t really grow up. He spent his youth wasting away in prison. And in the end, when he was out, he let childish feelings get in the way of things. Sirius is responsible for his own death. He was told to stay behind, that things were covered. And he didn’t listen because it came from Severus. When Severus was unconcious in POA, Sirius levitated him, and was wreckless, letting him hit his head and things like that. Severus, who has a grudge against him (for damn good reason), still made sure to be careful in levitating an unconcious Sirius (as noted by the biased against Snape in every way 13 year old Potter).
Remus deserves better than that. He deserves better than a man that betrayed him, almost turned him into a weapon, and never really grew up. At least, not in the ways that mattered. Remus deserves someone understanding and patient and loving. Someone that loves him for him and would protect him. Someone that sees him, not what he is. And he deserves someone that is good.
Anyway.....yeah. I don’t really know what my brain wanted with this. but yeah.

Crowley is a totally very bad demon who does very demonish things. Like take care of a bunch of orphans
Inspired by one of @rainydaydecaf s text post! I wrote this in a day
Also thank you @thetimtimjr for tagging me in the post that inspired this!
( I have only seen to episode 3 so no spoilers in the tags or replies please! Thank you)
Tw: though this is mostly fluffy comedy stuff there is a sucide attempt (unsuccessfully). Also if anyone needs this tagged as anything feel free to ask as always!
(Please reblog and hope you enjoy 😊)
"Misstah Crowley are we there yet?" One of the children tugs at the demons clothes.
"I already told you; were not going anywhere. Were waiting for the storm to pass," he gently pushes the child away but he comes back to his side.
"When is the storm gonna pass then? Can it be now?"
"I don't know kid, now butt off before you're tossed into the sea," Crowley growls. At first a face of horror passes over the kid but it quickly leaves as another child pipes up.
"He won't throw you overboard, Asher, nothing to worry about," She's older than the other but no more than 14.
"I can-" Crowley begins but stops hearing one of the many infants start crying.It took him two hours to rock them all to sleep. "Oh look what you did. Now they all will wake up,". He is right as babies wake up one after another crying in confusion or empathy, as it is rather hard to tell which is which at such a young age, and Crowley desperately tries to calm down each while simultaneously answering the older children's questions.
"So whose ship is this?" A girl in rags asks, he'll have to have Aziraphale miracle her some better clothes later.
"Noah's Arch," he whispers rocking two wailing infants, twins actually.
"Is he a friend of yours?" A boy who looks as well off as she did pipes up.
"Ehhh, I met him once or twice," the meetings Crowley is referring too is when he passed the man by while tempting other people to acts of evil in his town.
"Is they're another arch?" The girl asks. A group of children has formed around some of them helping with the babies or toddlers but others just to listen to what he has to say. Odd to say the least; Crowly has definitely spoke to groups of people at a time, and many listened with such interest, but not often answer earnest questions. Much less earnest questions he's answering truthfully.
"No, no other arch," the one twin started fussing again. "Shut up," he says to the baby but instead of a harsh tone his voice is sing songish.
"Then where are all the parents at?"
"Alright enough questions, I didn't bring you on here to annoy me," Crowley hisses and more of the little ones wake up crying. Great, more to deal with.
"I'm bored,"
"I'm hungry,"
"Alright! Alright! Go-" He looks around. He could always have them mess with the animals but they could get eaten by a lion as well as get caught by Noah. No, keeping them down here is a necessity but he couldn't constantly entertain them. Then Aziraphale catches his eye. He's in the corner reading various books and scrolls he brought with him on the arch. How he could bring those instead of children Crowley will never understand (and quite frankly even though he wished to confront him about it he also didn't want to hear about the 'ineffable' or have him get fussier than the babies and run away for a century). "You see Aziraphale- Yeah, go bother him. He'll read you stories," Many of the children rushed toward the unsuspecting angel and the ones who remained Crowley could manage.
"Cr-crowley?" It is late at night, despite not needing to sleep both demon and angel are exhausted, and he doesn't expect one of the children to wake so soon. Of course he doesn't really know what to expect with kids.
"Yes," Crowley responds.Being a demon, he can see in the dark and her expression of fear is clear. "What are you doing up? It's bad enough I have to feed those little things every hour do I have to do that with you?" At that she gives a small smile.
"No, nothing like that. I just had a scary dream is all,"
"Ah, those happen," Crowley has put nightmares in many a mind before, mostly to sway them, but never in a child's.
"It was about the arch flooding cause there were too many people. It sunk to the bottom of the sea and the fish ate everyone's bones," she states her eyes wide as she recalls the fake memory.
"Morbid," Crowley replies biting his lip not sure how to comfort the child. "Arch is really sturdy though. The instructions to build this thing came straight from God so if it sinks that's on heavens hands,".
"It sank cause we're not supposed to be on here. We aren't are we?" Her voice cracks and tears start to roll down her cheeks.
"Now don't- come on sit here," he taps the place beside him and she follows his instructions. "Everything is uh, complicated to say the least. Whether you're supposed to be here or not depends on which side your looking on it from. But one thing, and the most important thing, is I wouldn't bring you on here for nothing. Like do you think I want to babysit for who knows how long while the storm of the century is outside if I didn't think it was necessary?"
"N-no, " she gives another shy smile and wipes her tears with the back of her hand. "I guess not,"
"Exactly, your obviously a smart kid. If I wasn't absolutely positive this stupid boat was going to hold I wouldn't have even tried," he says and she wraps her arms around in a hug. He pats her back not sure how else to respond.
"Thank you Mr. Crowley, that'll make my nightmares go away for sure! You're a saint!" She says chipperly and before he can correct her she skips off to bed.
"You're so very evil Crowley. What an evil deed reassuring a child," Azriphale says with a grin of his own.
"And how long have you been here? I thought you were taking to Noah and his "holy" family. Never mind, bug off angel. I'm always evil and saving this brats is against the divine plan so its evil," he reasons and the other just shakes his head reading yet again.
Feeding the kids is Crowley's least favorite parts (he had to do it at least three times! Not even Aziraphale ate that much) of the day. They were all whiny like usual only this time is 10 million times worse since they whined about not having enough food despite Crowley giving them as much as they could possibly need.
"She got more then me!" One kid yells pointing at a teen girl.
"Do you want more?" Crowley asks grabbing a piece of bread to give to him.
"Well, no but it's not fair!"
"Life isn't fair and actually this is a very small part of your life that will be fair so deal with it," Crowley snaps and the kid begins to cry. "Damn- Aziraphale!" He calls but sees the angel with his hands full as well as a toddler climbing him. He wouldn't be able to comfort the kid for a while.
"Kid, kid, listen. This is ridiculous. Just stop crying, you're fine. You're well fed and you aren't hurt and-" Crowley leans down but the kid continues to wail.
"I need to pee," A little girl says in his ear.
"Good to know," Crowley responds.
"I need to go now!" She yells and Crowley tilts his head away from her.
"Then go; you don't need my expertise you've done it plenty of times before," she whines again, kicks his shin, and walks away.
"Timothy is hungry," a teen hands him a baby while she calms down the still crying child.
"Does, Tim Tim need food? Hmmm, little pile of squishy flesh is hungry," Crowley asks reaching for the bottle of never ending milk. The baby cooks in response then hastily drinks the milk most of it going down his chin. "What a messy Tim Tim," he states as the baby sucks the milk down as if it's the last he'll ever have. He takes out a handkerchief cleaning up the giddy baby. "Out of everyone you've got to be the happiest baby. Did you know that? Did you know that, Tim Tim," At saying this Crowley heard a voice call his name and he looks up. Azriphale just mouths the words 'what a demonic demon Crowley is'.
"I'm the scariest demon in hell," Crowley tells the kids and most of them laugh excitedly.
"R-roar then! If your a demon roar like one!" A kid calls out.
"Roar? I'm a demon not a lion! I don't roar," he states.
"How do we know your a demon then? I think your just a weird kind man!" Another kid states.
"A man couldn't all bring us on an arch with plenty of food and drink. Nobody is that kind" A kid scolds the other " Mr. Crowley is just an embarrassed angel,"
"I'm not an angel!" But many kids already are murmuring in agreement of the severely misinformed kid. The actual angle in the room gives a small chuckle "I can turn into a snake; the one that tempted Adam and Eve!" Crowley states.
"Do it then! Snake! Snake!" The kids begin chanting the word. Crowley sighs closing his eyes and starts to form into the cold blooded creature.
"H-he a snake!" Most kids laugh in glee only a few run to Azriphale in fear. Crowley can hear a kid concerned that "Mr. Crowley got eaten by a snake". The angel is sure to reassure that Mr. Crowley did not get eaten by a snake instead he can turn into a snake. The younger ones don't exactly understand the concept and are happy to see Crowley in his usual form again.
"Only saving kids and teens huh? What about those who were on the edge of things?" An older teen guy asks while the kids eat there bread and listen to one of the other teen's stories. Besides Azriphale the charismatic storyteller has been the most help especially since in the past she had to take care of ten kids. She definitely is the most experienced.
"Not sure what you mean on the edge," Crowley replies sipping a bit of his wine.
"The day the storm came in, the same day you found me at the market, was my sister's 18 birthday," he states. Crowley doesn't say a word feeling the air thick with tension. "We were twins but my birthday was the next day...she wasn't brought here, was she?"
"...no," The teen, or rather the adult (though he still looked like a boy of maybe 16 at the most) stands up.
"Everyone is gone? My family, friends, mentors? My house, destroyed?" He asks but doesn't expect an answer. Instead he walks away, starting to go up to the deck.
"Aziraphale, one of the humans left," Crowley walks over saying in a hushed voice.
"Left?" Aziraphale questions.
"He went into the storm; seems really upset. Just check on him to make sure he doesn't get caught. I have babies to feed in a little bit so I'm asking you. And… I think you might be able to convince him to come down here," Crowley explains.
"Well alright but you owe me a lunch for this," Crowley rolls his eyes but nods agreeing to the favor.
Azriphale found the man getting pelted by rain while he stood on the edge of the ship. He didn't turn around yet he spoke at hearing the angel's footsteps.
"The world from end to end is empty and void of life. Completely wiped out except for this ship here. This ship that has a family, animals, and then about a hundred stow-away children," He says his voice monotone. Azriphale doesn't explain that many places were spared; it doesn't feel right to correct the distraught human."Do you know how many people were out there? I don't even know. But surely all those people didn't deserve death? They didn't deserve to be pushed into this raging sea and drowned when they're body tires of the condition. If God wants us dead couldn't we just be strikes down by a bolt of lightning? Why make us suffer?"
"The plan of the almighty is ineffable; even to me," Azriphale says then adds "But, against many odds, you're alive! So let's go back inside before your clothes get wetter," the human lets out a sad chuckle.
"And after? Once this passes I have no one. I'm alone in this world...God wants me dead? Was that part of the plan?"
"Well, a little bit but something plans go differently then expected especially with demonic intervention and-" Azriphale stops as he sees the human toss himself forward.
The angel's wings jut out and he swoops down to catch the spiraling human. It's an experience that sadly Azriphale has done many times. In total he's saved 1200 humans in the last century who've tried to end their life. Sometimes by spilling their poisonous drink or whispering encouraging words in their ears but only four in total has he caught. This man will most definitely be his fifth.
He reaches him grabbing on and pulling him upward. A moment later and the human would've plunged head first in the icy sea and if not killed by it would at the very least got a concussion.
"Now, now, it is not your time," Azriphale has his arms around the other's chest and can feel him shivering from the winds whipping around them. He positions his wings to shield the fragile being from the strongest winds.
"Apparently my time is past due; God wants me dead I'm just giving him his dues," He struggles in Azriphale's grasp but his grip doesn't loosen.
"Don't talk like that, let's dry you off and-"
"My sister would take care of the neighborhood kids. She'd feed them, she raised me and my brothers since she was ten. She taught us manners and we'd attended church every Sunday. We pray before every meal and even after. She stole from a man richer than a king with manners akin to a pig! That is her only crime and yet she's under many feet of unmerciful water dead to this cruel world! Was that fair? Should she have died, angel?" He yells out struggling against the other.
The man-no he really is just a boy- kicks with such force that Azriphale is forced to use a miracle. He falls asleep instantly no more shouting or protesting follows. He looks so peaceful sleeping, most humans do, and the angel frowns to himself. He'd awake just as agitated as before, perhaps even more, and could potentially try to commit suicide again.
Azriphale clicks his tongue thinking of a way to stop this humans distress. He said something about a sister did he not well...another miracle is performed; this time erasing all memories of her. It definitely wasn't his best miracle but couldn't be called his worst either.
"I'm so sorry," Azriphale mumbles out but over the roaring sea no one can hear him.
"You have wings? Does Mr. Crowley have some too?" A curious child asks touching Azriphale's feathers. A toddler to his right has decided the feathers are an excellent teething device and is trying to desperately get him off.
"Yes I do," Crowley says picking up the toddler presenting him a finger instead of the feathers he could choke on.
"Can we see?" Another asks walking over to him staring at his shoulders as if she could already see them.
"Maybe," He replies. "If you all are good for dinner and go to bed on time you can see them," Cheers follow Crowley's statement.
The baby babbles at Crowely and since no one else is around he babbles back at her. She giggles continuing 'talking' to him.
"I hear you; pretty cramped place huh? But right now you have to go to sleep; can you go to sleep?" The baby happily replies with nonsense. She's the last baby awake but it quite a stubborn one.
"Go to sleep, little talker and maybe for once I'll get a break," he sings a tuneless soft lullaby. "And with my break, I'll get to bother, Azriphale! And he'll just read his books, or eat his food, and ignore me, because he is gooooood,".
The baby closes her eyes but Crowley continues his made up song "Go to sleep, little babe, and hope we'll get off this ship that's driving me insane," he finishes with a few la la's and the baby is fast asleep.
"Papa?" A small toddler walks running into Crowley head on. He steps back before falling on his butt "Papa?" He asks again.
"Nope, not a Papa," Crowley says patting the confused child head. "Just a demon doing bad,"
"Papa!" He exclaims and Crowley sighs.
"Nope. Very disappointed you didn't get it the first time,"
"Papa!"
"Now this is a little excessive don't you think? How many times do I need to say no?" Crowley asks putting his hands on his hips. He might as well humor the toddler.
"Pa-pa! Papa! Papa!" He claps his hands.
"Can your Papa turn into a snake?" The boy nods. "Really? I doubt that. Can he strike fear into anything and everything?" Again he nods. "Is your dad a demon? If so I might know him,"
"Papa!" He claps again.
"Is your Papa's name Crowely?"
"Yes!"
"I don't think so," but the child giggles in response.
"What a good parent you make Crowley," Azriphale states grinning (and dare Crowley say the smile is devilish?).
"Papa!" The toddler exclaims to Azriphale and he goes bright red.
"It seems the little one doesn't have a big vocabulary,"
"So that's what it is angel?" Crowley gives his own grin. He nods in response.
Six days pass before the rain stops and the sun comes out; and just as Azriphale says a rainbow appears promising to never flood the world again.
Crowley can be thankful for that. He isn't sure he can take care of hundreds of kids again. Though with all the hugs they give him he can't complain too much.

so, folks, having put a great deal of time into staring at the dining hall menu on Fire Emblem: Three houses, I decided to attempt a fun little exercise: what if I set about putting together a list of what my dislikes, neutrals and likes from the list would be if I were attending Garreg Mach?
and see... due to my presently undiagnosed neurodivergence, I have a hypersensitive palate, as well as a hypersensitivity to textures. I have been described by sufficiently rude people as “difficult to feed”. if y’all have seen and remember that one post where you tally up everything you would eat and get a higher score the less of a picky eater you are, well, I scored like a two or a four on that. so, y’know... this is going to be fun y’all
The Wretched Food Sins (dislikes)
Beast Meat Teppanyaki, Pickled Rabbit Skewers, Gronder Meat Skewers, Garreg Mach Meat Pie
see, I’m just going to get this one out of the way immediately: I don’t like red meat. when I tell people that, their first assumption is usually that I’m a vegan or avoiding the shitload of growth hormones or whatever, but no, I still eat some other types of meat and health is obviously not a priority in my diet; I just find that red meat tastes and feels something awful. we clear? we clear.
Onion Gratin Soup
(Onions stewed with white trout and baked with a layer of cheese on top. Will warm you up from the inside out.)
onions I’m also not very fond of. when they’re used for flavor, they’re normally used in small enough amounts to be safely ignored, but here it seems that the idea is to eat whole baked onions off a soup, like... is that a thing that human people do with the single lives that they have??
Country-Style Red Turnip Plate
(A balanced meal including red turnip and verona stew, red turnip salad, and sautéed red turnip with garlic.)
just not sure about this one; I mean, it’s not that I actually recall ever eating a turnip, or that a “verona” is a real vegetable that I can compare to any extant thing... I just don’t think I’ve ever had a good time attempting to eat a plateful of vegetables and I don’t have much faith that the monastery cantina is breaking new ground there
Vegetable Stir-Fry
(A dish of dried tomatoes, cabbage, chickpeas and other vegetables, stir-fried with egg. Nutritious and very filling.)
I might just be mixing up terms, but if I understand correctly, I’ve never heard of stir-frying before. it sounds like a cool thing, though! I do love the the idea of using egg as a base for this, too! it’s a pity that they then proceed to pick nothing but ass ingredients for the entire rest of this particular recipe
Fish and Bean Soup
(A soup made by simmering white trout and chickpeas. A simple yet wholesome dish.)
sorry, head chef, beans are a horrific mouthfeel and you cannot and will not convince me that a dish featuring them is uwu wholesome
Pickled Seafood and Vegetables
(A Dagdan dish of raw fish and turns pickled in a vinegar-based seasoning liquid. Rarely eaten in Fódlan.)
so, I’ve actually had the idea for this post quite a ways ago, and one of the very first things I had in mind was the precise burn I was going to deliver unto the smell of vinegar. right? thing is, it’s been so long since then that the anedocte I was going to use as a delivery vector for that burn has since taken a dark turn. it won’t really be worth the while to unpack it at this point, so I’ll just skip to the punchline: the smell of vinegar is indistinguishable from the smell of dog piss
Cabbage and Herring Stew
(Cabbage and Albinean Herring stewed whole. The fish guts lend this hearty dish a superbly bitter kick.)
ew, what the hell? what sort of florida man recipe is this? “oh, let’s stew some fish, but make sure the entirety of its intestines are stewing in there so that the final product can punch you in the mouth with bitterness”. what? who’s that supposed to appeal to? I can understand this being one of Hubert’s favorite meals but why would absolutely anyone else do this to themselves? and it’s with this demon fodder here that we finish the hell section on an absolutely burning note and proceed to...
The Purgatory of Eh, I Guess, Maybe (neutral)
Pheasant Roast with Berry Sauce
(Well-roasted Fódlan pheasant drizzled with a berry reduction sauce.)
we’re getting somewhere; poultry is like, 80% of the protein in my diet, and sweetness is precisely the only flavor I can tolerate in major excess. alas, in gastronomy, one plus one doesn’t always make two; I’m not sure this combination here works or just clashes frontally
Vegetable Pasta Salad
(Pasta with a blend of fresh vegetables from various regions of Fódlan. This popular dish sells out almost instantly.)
we’re out of the hated food list, but that doesn’t mean you’re safe yet from listening to me maw about foods that are supposed to be super common!
you know how I prefer to take my pasta? over water, butter or olive oil with absolutely no sauce. additional seasoning also needs not apply, although salt is welcome. fun fact: my ideal instant noodle is cooked with only a small amount of flavoring powder. so yeah, there you have it, that’s the “hey guys I eat bread with nothing in it and have a good time” moment of the jour
but back to the point -- how does this particular pasta measure up? well, I took a look at the in-game model of it and it appears to pass the most important bar: no sauce -- or, at least, if there was any, it was thick and yellow and it made a fool of me. anyways, I might not particularly dig some of the vegetables thrust into the pasta here, but the beauty of it is that I can probably pick and choose which ones I will actually eat, which makes this a solid ehhh it’s solvable
Fruit and Herring Tart
(A baked tart with stewed herring and Noa fruit mixed into the batter. Popular in Enbarr, the Imperial Capital.)
again, I don’t object to the components but I’m not sure about it all adds together. is that a real thing, like, putting a god damn fish into your fruit pie mix?
Fish Sandwich
(A simple dish. Airmid Cabbage is pickled in vinegar and served with cabbage between two slices of bread.)
a fish sandwich plain and simple, I would happily chow down; fish is the other one of my acceptable meats, after all. thing is, as non-domestic sandwiches usually do, this one comes with a bunch of add-ons that I absolutely do not want and it’s hard to tell how much can be salvaged. like, there’s old man vinegar/piss again, and besides, I swear I’ve eaten leaves off the ground that had better texture than cabbage. so, like, can we go even simpler, head chef? bread, fish, and no wicked ideas?
Spicy Fish and Turnip Stew
(Spicy stew made with Teutates loach and turnips. The monastery’s unique recipe features spices from Dagda.)
come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a stew. if it’s very much like a soup, then it might have as much of an annoying texture as one, but if it’s just a soggy filet, then that might work out. anyway, between that and the non-specification of what those spices from Dagda are intended to do with the recipe, I’d have to taste it to believe it
Super-Spicy Fish Dango
(A light snack, popular in the Empire. Small, spicy balls of fried dough packed with white trout and dried tomato.)
ugh, that was so close. fried dough and fish sounds AMAZING, it really does. but the first strike here is “super-spicy”; I did mention having a hypersensitive palate, yes? now add that to the fact that I’m white. the real crushing sin here, however, is the inclusion of fucking tomato. we were so close to greatness! we were this close! anyways, depending on how exactly the dried tomato is meant to be implemented here, it might be possible to just pull it out with a fork and accept the mouth-hurting substances in a bid to have a good time anyway
Sweet and Salty Whitefish Sauté
(Whitefish is coated in spices and sautéed with dried tomatoes to bring out an addictive salty-sweet flavor.)
tomatoes again! seriously, you creeps keep throwing that in with one of my sole acceptable approaches to meat! although fortunately, I gather that, with this one, the goal is not for the tomatoes to be eaten, just popped on the juice that this fish is jumping around in while it roasts, so maybe there’s salvation for it yet... I do want to find out whatever in the world an “addictive salty-sweet flavor” is supposed to mean, admittedly
Sautéed Pheasant and Eggs
(Thin slices of bird meat and shredded cabbage, mixed with scrambled eggs and sautéed with spices. Invention of a certain noble.)
again, we broke it right at the finish line. I like the idea of a pile of chicken strips and scrambled eggs; would have some fun digging through it and all. alas, Alfred von Certain Noble had to go and throw cabbage into the mix. at least, maybe, if it’s shredded, then the awful texture is eliminated and that makes it straight-up just eating some leaf? it might be sufficiently non-intrusive
Gautier Cheese Gratin
(A gratin of bird meat topped with heaps of Gautier cheese, which is famous for its low fat content. It has a unique flavor.)
I... do I want to know what “unique flavor” this is? because chicken gratined with cheese sounds good, but you could potentially go wrong with the type of cheese, and the fact that this apparently counts as a bitter dish doesn’t leave me particularly hopeful...
Small Fish Skewers
(Made by grilling skewered Airmid gobies. With a muddy flavor and dry texture, this dish is beloved by few.)
okay, yeah, “muddy flavor and dry texture” isn’t exactly the sales pitch of the year, but these sound like reasonably ignorable things in favor of what would just be grilled fish on a skewer with no more of those terrible nonsense ideas like adding some fucking tomato
Fried Crayfish
(Fried and breaded Caledonian crayfish. Looks much tastier than it actually is.)
looks are all we have to go by here, but besides that, intsys, you’ll have a lot of labor to do if you want to convince me that a fried and breaded anything isn’t good if it’s not, like, inherently ass as an ingredient. what keeps this one from reaching the heavens is most likely not the taste or the feel itself, but mostly just the fact that I’m probably allergic to shrimp
The Blessed And Divine (likes)
Saghert and Cream
(A baked confection coated with Noa fruit cream and a currant reduction, often enjoyed as a dessert at family gatherings.)
first, I have to get this much out of the way: does anyone know what the hell a saghert even is? cursory searching has only led me to results about Fire Emblem, so it might be a made-up word altogether...
... that said, the aforementioned cursory searching has also brought me to this blog where I got to see someone’s idea of what the thing would be in real life, and the result is definitely something I’d want in my mouth, stomach, and soul, so there we go!
Sweet Bun Trio
(Traditional pastries from Faerghus, known for their subtle sweetness. The dough is made with eggs and sugar.)
is this supposed to be like sweetbread or like, dumplings, which might actually be made with eggs and sugar...? oh, who am I kidding, I’d scarf the hell out of either one. and hey, no need to be subtle with the sweetness, either!
Peach Sorbet
(A sorbet made with thin slides of magically frozen peach, dusted with bean flour.)
o, ice cream... I have a rather layered relationship with that one. I’m never one to turn down plain desserts, least of all when tradition also permits me to dump six layers of whatever the hell else to (sweetly) spice it up, but the hypersensitivity in my mouth also extends to temperatures, and ice cream is normally and understandably served in very low ones. I usually try eating when it’s, like, nearly melting or already melting... but is that even on the table if we’re talking about pre-refrigeration ice cream made with very strangely applied magic? thoughts to mull over. but I won’t let them get in the way of yum, ice cream
Daphnel Stew
(Minced poultry and onions boiled with salt. The simple recipe lets high-quality ingredients speak for themselves.)
simplicity goes a long way, as usual! again, I have no idea how a stew tastes, but again, poultry is pretty much the backbone of my diet, and I suppose it doesn’t sound objectionable to take it soaked in saltwater. at least, if I’m presuming that the onions are there for flavoring the stock and not once more for the absurd suggestion that I should be eating them whole
Deirdriu-Style Fried Pheasant
(Pheasant meat pounded flat and fried. Can be served as a sort of sandwich, with cheese between two strips of meat.)
holy shit this sounds great. like, I want this in real life, especially the whole pseudo-sandwich arrangement. I’m optimistically assuming that we’re picking a decent type of cheese and not, like, cheddar, but that's really the only possible stumbling block
Grilled Herring
(Herring caught off the coast of Albinea, shredded and grilled in an earthenware pot with sliced turnips.)
I’ve expressed not being familiar with the taste of turnips, but even if I hate those too, it sounds like it’s pretty easy to ignore them here in favor of what’s just some shredded and grilled fish, which hits the spot
Fisherman’s Bounty
(Freshly-caught fish are cut into chunks and stewed together to make this hearty dish.)
right, so I’m not actually 100% sure about this one, if only because the model of the dish appears to contain some unidentifiable bits of disgusting red whatever, but if the description alone covers it, this just seems to be plain and nice
Two-Fish Sauté
(Two types of fish are cut into strips and sautéed in butter. This lavish meal hails from Enbarr, the Imperial Capital.)
and this sounds similarly plain and nice, but also even better, because the sautéeing in butter sounds like a great addition. now we’re finally on the right track with regards to fish meals! keep the red devil testicle fruits away from those!
Bourgeois Pike
(A gourmet dish with Airmid Pike, vegetables, and a sprinkle of expensive spices. Popular among nobles.)
the punchline writes itself, doesn’t it? but don’t get me wrong -- while I haven’t grown up wanting for money, being bourgeoisie is just what my family wishes were the case.
as for the meal itself: the in-game model appears to be just fish filet, served without any gross sauce, so I’ll happily take it, as long as this “sprinkle of expensive spices” isn’t doing anything too janky in there. ... but hey, most expensive things exist primarily for the purpose of being janky, so maybe I’m being too optimistic
Sautéed Jerky
(Jerky aged in the monastery and sautéed for a delightfully salty flavor. A perfect snack to go with your favorite drink.)
my first instinct was to throw this right onto the undesirable meat section because it’s jerky, but apparently, this is poultry jerky? I’ve never heard of such a thing existing, but I need to try it sometime. for now, I’ll just assume it’s as good as it sounds
so, there you have it! it seems that quite a bit more of this menu is edible than I would have expected? or perhaps I’m just being very optimistic, since I’m not face-to-face with whatever offputting smells and textures I could potentially be dealing with here

Double Date Night
Read on AO3
Fandom: Persona 5
Ships: Shiann, Ryushima
Summary: Shiho, Ann, Yuuki, and Ryuji have a double date planned-but what do they do when Shiho’s still-recovering body has other plans for her?
Notes: Okay there’s a lot of reasons I wrote this fic, but it can basically be boiled down to wanting some gay shit, and wanting people to appreciated Shiho and Yuuki and their potential for friendship more (though the latter ended up…not showing as much as I would have liked). Canon sucks, I’m the writer now, and I will not be stopped.
I have the fic posted here, but please give it a look on AO3 as well, and maybe leave kudos and/or comments! It’d mean a lot to me.
Months had passed since Shiho’s release from the hospital, and things were going rather well. Her biggest problems were she still had to go to physical therapy weekly, and couldn’t walk on her own most days. At the very least, she needed a cane, which didn’t bother her too much. The cane was cool, Ann helped her paint it, and she got compliments on it all the time. On worse days she needed crutches, a little less enjoyable but still tolerable. Then there were wheelchair days. Shiho hated wheelchair days. Lots of places were very inaccessible, and she always got looks, or people trying to help when she didn’t need it. If she had to use the wheelchair, she would rather not go out at all. But overall, she made amazing progress in her recovery. Not just physically, but mentally.
She was never able to return to playing volleyball at her new school, even if she could have physically, but she found joy in watching her former teammates play and almost never missed a Shujin game. She always made sure to be the loudest, most excited fan she could be. She made more friends, and would hang out with those friends when she could. Yuuki became her closest friend. Neither of them really talked when they played together, but they found out they had so much in common from both being trans to having similar struggles in life, and their friendship just stuck. He even helped her with asking Ann out, in return for her helping him ask Ryuji out. The four of them actually had a double date planned, a fairly common occurrence for them. The plan for this one was a movie, shopping, and dinner. However, it seemed that Shiho’s body had other plans.
She woke up nearly paralyzed by pain, so much just pulling herself out of bed made her feel like she just ran 100 laps. Why today of all days? She sat back in bed and pulled out her phone to text Ann.
Shiho: Hey…I don’t think I’m going to be able to go out today.
Ann: Everything okay?
Shiho: Not really. I can barely move. I’d have to use the chair. I really don’t want to have to get around in it. Sorry. You three can still go without me.
Ann: I’ll let the guys know. I hope you feel better soon. <3
Shiho: <3
Ann sighed as she looked at the texts again. She hated having to see Shiho hurt so much. They were all looking so forward to today, too… Sure, Ann could just go with the Yuuki and Ryuji but that defeated the whole purpose of the day… She couldn’t just let their day be cut short like that. She had a plan. It wasn’t guaranteed to work, but it was worth a shot. She made a group chat for her and the guys and sent a text.
Ann: Shiho’s not doing well today. She cancelled our plans.
Ryuji: Damn. Pain again I’m guessing?
Ann: Yeah…
Yuuki: It feels wrong to go without her…should we just reschedule?
Ann: No, I have a plan. Meet me in the underground mall. Bring something fun to do.
Ryuji: Gotcha.
Yuuki: See you soon!
The three met up in the underground mall a little over an hour later, Yuuki with some puzzle books and board games, Ryuji with some video games and DVDs, and Ann with makeup, magazines, and flowers she just bought.
“So I guess the plan is we surprise Shiho with all of this?” Yuuki asked.
“Yep! I can’t say for sure if she’ll like it or not, but I want to try. I’d hate just leaving her out…” Ann’s voice faded a bit, but picked up as she smiled. “So we’re gonna bring the double date to her!”
“Hell yeah!” Ryuji cheered. “Let’s get going!” He started to run off, then stopped a few feet away. “Wait uh…where’s she live again?”
Ann sighed and shook her head. “You’re hopeless… Why did you run off if you don’t know? I’ll lead you guys there.”
There was a short train ride to the Suzui residence, during which the three excitedly talked about what they brought and their plans, and shared their hopes that Shiho would enjoy their day together. Before too long, they were in front of the house. Ann rang the doorbell, and an older woman, Shiho’s mother, answered the door. She smiled as soon as she saw the three.
“Oh, are you three here to see Shiho? She’ll be so happy…she’s in her room right now.” She welcomed the three in, they took off their shoes, and went over to Shiho’s room quietly.
Ann knocked gently on the door, and Shiho called back. “It’s open…” Her voice sounded rather gloomy and strained. It hurt all three of her guests to hear it. Still, they all three kept smiles on their faces as Ann opened the door.
“Surprise!” Ann said cheerfully. “Hope you don’t mind that we showed up.”
Shiho’s whole face lit up slowly when she saw the three. Her pained, grim expression turned into a wide smile, and small tears of joy formed in her eyes. “You three…I told Ann you could go on without me…”
“Well sure,” Ryuji said. “But it wouldn’t be much of a double date if half of one of the couples was gone, would it?”
“We all made sure to bring something to do.” Yuuki showed off the books and games he brought. “We want to make sure your day in is a fun one.“
"Thanks, guys…” Shiho sniffled.
Ann went over to the bed. “I got you these too,” She said as she placed the flowers on the end table and sat on the edge of the bed. “So what do you want to do? We have magazines, makeup, video games, movies, some puzzle books, board games…take your pick!”
Shiho thought for a second. “Oh! Let’s all do each other’s makeup!” She said excitedly.
“Ehhh, I think I’ll pass on that one,” Ryuji said. “That cutesy shit is more Yuuki’s thing.” He patted his boyfriend’s head, and got his hand swatted away in return.
“He’s terrible at makeup,” Yuuki added on. “He tried to do mine once and it was awful.”
“I didn’t even know what half that shit was!”
“It’s really not as hard as you’re acting like it is.”
“It is too! I don’t get how you keep up with all those brushes and colors and stuff…”
Shiho laughed softly at the little playful argument. “You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to.”
“Yeah!” Ann agreed. “You can judge our looks instead.”
“Fine…” Ryuji grumbled softly. “But I’m warning you, I don’t know what’s good or bad…”
“Yuuki, can I do yours?” Shiho asked.
“And I wanna do yours, Shiho!” Ann said excitedly.
“I can do Ann’s then.” Yuuki said. “I actually have a look that’ll be perfect for you.”
The three took turns doing each other’s makeup, each person’s unique style showing up in the look of the person that did their makeup. Yuuki ended up with a simple, more natural look, Shiho with a very trendy girly look with lots of pink, and Ann with a more showy dramatic look.
“Alright, Ryuji. Who did best?” Ann asked with a confident grin. She was certain that she’d win.
Ryuji looked closely at the three, spending his time really studying each look and thinking long and hard about his decision. “Uh…they all look the same to me.” He finally said in defeat.
Ann and Yuuki both sighed. “They couldn’t be more different from each other!” Ann exclaimed.
Yuuki took a deep breath. “Ryuji…I say this with all the love I have in my heart…you are completely hopeless.”
Shiho laughed, a bit more than her previous laugh. “Okay, lay off him you two…let’s just call it a tie, okay? I think we all look amazing.”
“You’re way too nice to him, Shiho.” Ann said. “He’ll never learn if we lay off…but fine, if you insist.”
“How about instead, we let him pick what we do next!” Shiho smiled at Ryuji. “You brought some games right? How about we play something?”
“Hell yeah! I brought my full collection cause i wasn’t sure what you liked…” Ryuji brought a stack of games over to Shiho. “Go ahead, pick your favorite!”
Shiho looked at the games thoughtfully, and ultimately picked a co-op RPG they could play together with minimal competition. The four enjoyed their game together, to the point where Shiho’s mother had to come in and ask them to quiet down. They spent hours on the game, eventually coming to a stop when they realized how long it had been. “Wow…I usually don’t play that much,” Ann said with a soft laugh.
“Me either, I just got so caught up in working with everyone, I lost track of the time,” Shiho admitted.
“So…What’s next?” Yuuki asked. Before anyone could suggest their next activity, Shiho’s mother peeked in the room.
“Are you kids hungry? I’m making beef stew tonight!”
“Beef stew?!” Ryuji perked up excitedly. “I could go for some beef!”
“Where are your manners?!” Ann scolded. “Thank you, Mrs. Suzui. Food would be lovely. Do you need any help?”
Shiho’s mom shook her head. “No, no, I wouldn’t want to pull any of you away. I may need help bringing the food here, however. I’ll call you when it’s ready.”
While dinner cooked, the four looked at some of Ann’s magazines. For all his griping about makeup, Ryuji was actually quite invested in the fashion (or maybe just the models) and was eager to point out some of his favorite looks, or outfits he thought would look good on others (mostly Yuuki, of course). Once Shiho’s mom called that dinner was ready, Ann went to the kitchen to help her carry the bowls into Shiho’s room. The four all sat and chatted about school, sports, and their other friends while they ate. Once they finished, Ann brought the bowls back to the kitchen, and the four spent some time playing some of the card games that Yuuki and brought.
“And a perfect match~!” Ann cheered, showing off her cards. “I win again!” She sung.
“Man, this is getting boring,” Ryuji whined. “How do you keep winning? You have to be cheating.”
“Or I’m just luckier than you,” Ann said, sticking her tongue out.
“I’m just not getting any matches!” Ryuji griped as he threw down his cards.
“Uh…Ryuji…sweetheart…” Yuuki looked over the cards on the ground. “You have 3 matches here.”
The others looked and sure enough, there were 3 matches scattered across Ryuji’s cards. “Wha…I…Damnit! It’s hard to tell when they’re all scattered like that!” Ryuji’s voice grew even more frustrated than it was over losing.
“You know if you sort them as you get them, that wouldn’t be a problem,” Shiho said. “That’s what I do.”
Ryuji looked at her in shock, completely dumbfounded by the fact that he hadn’t ever thought of that before. “That’s freakin’ genius!”
The four of them spent the rest of the night playing card games and board games, at some point also playing some movies and anime in the background. Before long, it was late into the night.
“We should probably get going,” Yuuki said, slowly rising to his feet. “Wouldn’t want to miss the train home.”
Ann got up and stretched. “I was actually going to stay the night if that’s okay with Shiho.”
“I can’t,” Ryuji said. “Gotta help my mom with chores tomorrow.”
“And I promised my sister we could play some games tonight,” Yuuki added on.
“Well, you two head back then. We don’t need you boys anyways,” Ann teased.
“Yeah, yeah,” Ryuji grumbled before turning to Shiho. “Hope today helped you a bit.”
“Of course it did,” Shiho replied with a bright smile. She opened her arms for a hug. “Come over here.” Ryuji and Yuuki both accepted hugs before heading out and going home.
Once the boys were gone, Ann and Shiho spent the night cuddled up together talking for hours until they got tired.
“Hey Ann?” Shiho said softly as the two began to drift off. “Thanks for this.”
“Hey, it was the guys too,” Ann pointed out. “I can’t take all the credit.”
“But it was your idea, wasn’t it?”
“I mean yeah…but still, we all did our part because we wanted to see you happy.”
“I know you do…”
“I was kind of worried you might be mad to be honest. Like maybe we were being too intrusive or something.”
“Not at all! I’m…” Shiho found herself a bit choked up, but tried to fight back the tears. “I’m glad you all care so much. I felt so useless today but…you all made it a lot better.”
Ann smiled and kissed Shiho’s forehead. “I’m glad. That’s all I want to do for you, ever.”
“I love you so much, Ann. I don’t think I could ever thank you enough.”
“I love you too. Now let’s get some sleep, okay?”
The two fell asleep peacefully in each other’s arms, both so, so thankful for each other and all their friends

Transmigrator Pile-Up (Pt 4)
Some small sads, progress, and a monster encounter! I cannot and will not ever give Jay any dignity whatsoever. None.
"Are you. . . are you all right?"
"No." Jay stood slowly, wiping a hand over his face and trying not to snuffle noisily. God, he was disgusting. Boss Feng would probably die before losing face like this. Hell, he was Feng now, wasn't he? Jay was just the ghost possessing him or something. Time to buck up and stop scaring the locals. This was fine.
He rubbed his eyes clear, staring down at the bird. Nothing like a bridle on the head, but he remembered that detail; the heads were free for maneuverability. Down the neck. . . He skimmed his hand along the feathers as he spoke, "There should be a harness. Gear. Whatever can be salvaged, we should bring back."
It took stepping directly on to the crumpled wing with a whispered apology before he could actually see the saddle. The spear went straight through the goddamn thing, so it wasn't like it was going anywhere. The jagged edge stabbing up was stained dark, and he didn't want to look too closely at it. So the saddle itself was a loss. Jay grimaced to himself and steeled himself to keep going, climbing up and running his hands along the harness looking for packs and anything useful.
Not everything survived the crash: the right hand side had taken a lashing from branches on the way down then been thoroughly redistributed by the carrion feeders. He swiped the string from the shattered remains of a bow stave with not an arrow in sight. What may have been a water skin was burst, nothing left but limp tatters, and a bag within easy reach of the seat had been ripped open. Probably food in there, and the animals were welcome to it, given the dark stains that marked it. Hell, he should be grateful it rained.
What was intact looked . . . remarkably fine, despite being left to the elements for a week. Oil, wax, something, sealed the leather and fabric so that water still beaded and ran off it without signs of mildew. He unbuckled the bags and straps that he could, cut off the ones he couldn't, and tossed piece by piece back over his shoulder to Xu Jin like he was lobbing cargo off a jetplane.
He wasn't sure what was in them, but this wasn't the time and place to check. Anything was better than the nothing he had before. And if it wasn't useful for him, it might be for the family.
After a few minutes, he was fairly sure he'd gotten all the salvageable gear. There were a few things he didn't toss back but instead stowed on himself; even he knew better than to handle weapons like that. One of the first things he'd found was a very utilitarian dagger fastened to the underside of the saddle. Also ready at hand was an equally practical dao sword. He didn't think they were spiritual weapons-- he couldn't remember Boss Feng having any in the books. If anything, it would have been the bow. . . or Taifun himself.
That gave him a thought that made him hesitate, standing at the front of the saddle. He wasn't really sure how the bandits mourned their birds, but he thought he remembered something about feathers. Before he could second-guess himself into oblivion, Jay whispered a quiet apology and neatly harvested a bundle of feathers: from the golden nape, the darker brown ruff below the neck, and a few coverts and secondaries from the extended wing. The shorter feathers he tied together with the bow-string into a strange sort of sheaf, and the secondaries he slid into the waterproof roll beside the dao. They were even longer than the blade; he probably could have used the primaries as oars, as some of them were taller than he was. He smoothed the feathers down with a gentle hand before stepping back, bowing one last time to Taifun.
"You will be remembered."
Xu Jing waited for him to finish paying his respects, then gestured at the pile of bags built up beside him with some obvious trepidation. "How are you planning on carrying this back?"
Like asking how all those bags were going to fit in the trunk. Or gear in the backpack. Jay cast a Tetris expert's eye across it. "Oh ye of little faith."
Together they relocated the pile to a relatively clear spot, and Jay set to with the salvaged straps. Bags that could fit inside other bags did so. Most of the gear had been designed to be buckled on and off the harness as separate units, so. . . doable. He was just gonna look like a Liefeld character when he was done. Ehhh. He'd done worse hauling gear out and back, especially when they were doing releases. (Yeah, you try carrying two hard kennels worth of disgruntled raptor that vomit and shit when cranky up a mountain and see how you do. There was no honor, no dignity, just yelling over your shoulder like a frazzled soccer mom, "Kids, don't make me turn this car around!")
The end result was some unholy hybrid of harness and bags that kept catching his long hair, but it worked. Xu Jing schlepped his much smaller bandolier/messengerbag without enthusiasm, eyes continuing to glance up at the sky. Jay could translate that easily enough, giving himself a shake to make sure everything stayed put. "Time to go."
"Yes." Xu Jing had a furrow between his eyebrows that had been growing more pronounced. "We'll need to hurry to make it back by dark."
Right. Night in the Arrays of Heaven outside said arrays was . . . uh, not for the faint of heart. Jay winced, turning and sighting his way back along their trail. "Don't have to tell me twice. Let's go."
"You know where you are headed?"
"Uh, the way we came?" Jay blinked over his shoulder, pointing the way back northeast to the steading. "Might be faster to cut through the valley and up instead of going along the ridge. . ."
Xu Jing flinched a little at that suggestion. "No, higher is safer."
Jay tilted his head in acknowledgment. Always listen to the locals. "Right. I start going off course, you let me know."
He took the lead, setting a quick pace. The good thing about being Feng Mahti; he had a long stride, and even the weight of the new gear and weapons didn't feel like much of anything. It should: he knew it was probably about the same amount of crap as a frame backpack, without the added benefit of being constructed of lightweight materials, and . . . nope, didn't make a difference.
Boss Feng really was a musclehead.
On the route back, he had more of a chance to appreciate the sights and sounds of the new world, now that he wasn't keeping his eyes peeled for roadkill. While the local flora didn't look particularly changed, the fauna was. . . different.
From the valley to their left came the sound of what he thought were frogs, just way deeper than any spring peeper he'd ever heard. Small mammals scuttled through the underbrush away from them, and he thought there might be smaller birds in the conifers, hidden among the pine needles. Most things seemed shy, or else they were just making too damned much noise.
Huh. Actually.
Xu Jing was making enough noise for both of them. Something about Feng Mahti's leather boots or Jay's familiarity with hiking all over creation was keeping his own steps almost silent. That was either really cool or really bullshit.
Xu Jing gave him a dirty look when he caught Jay waiting with his head tilted. "Not all of us are cultivators of the wild."
Okay, so probably ranger stealth bonus bullshit. Jay flashed him his best guide's grin, "You're doing great. We're making good time."
"Not good enough." Xu Jing was sweating, his sleeves rolled back. Jay wondered if it was the exertion or the stress more than the temperature; there was a gusts of gentle breeze from the west, carrying the floral smell of the budding bushes. (Rhododendron? It looked like it to him, but was that even native in Asia??? Eh fuck it it's post apocalypse, anything can happen. If he tried to worry about native and invasive species here he'd be crazy before the second week.)
Speaking of post-apocalypse, he hadn't seen any signs of previous civilization between the steading and where Taifun fell. He asked Xu Jing casually if there were any ruins around.
"In the valley," Xu Jing panted, keeping his words short. "That's part of why it's dangerous."
Duly noted.
About two hours later, as they were making their way along beside a stream bed, something started to bug Jay. Like an itch on the back of his neck, the sound of a mosquito. He couldn't identify what or why, just that. . . something was up.
He looked back at Xu Jing to see if the other man noticed, and the farmer gave him a serious look and a nod, murmuring, "Danger."
Great. About time for his first monster encounter! He wasn't sure he counted the vulture with the glowing neon red eyes, as that could have just been some really freaktacular near-death hallucinations. . . . What the hell even lived out this way? He couldn't remember all the monsters from the books, but there were supposed to be quite a lot of nasties in the mountains that the bandits frequented. Bears. Tigers. Giant bugs. A couple of really cool pangolin that he was actually kinda dying to see in person now that he thought about it.
So, what was contestant number one?
After a few minutes of the slowly growing creeps without any sign of an enemy, something rolled out of the stream bed on to the bank in front of them.
Jay just stared for a long moment, incredulous. "Seriously? That's it?!"
The thing that had been making his hair stand up on end wobbled closer.
Xu Jing hissed behind him, "Either fight, or run. Choose now!"
His hand was already on the sword's hilt. It felt natural to him, well-balanced and the grip broken in to his hand. With a prosaic shrug, Jay drew the blade. No time to find out his battle skills like the present, and it was such a level one monster, too. Thank you, starting area!
Blade raised, he charged the blue-green slime.
It was not unlike hacking sorta sentient jello to bits. Maybe it was some mutation off a slime mold. Those were actually kinda terrifying in a cool way. Or kinda cool in a terrifying way. Whatever. They were smart! This one tried to get in a few hits at Jay, but he ducked back too quickly for it to make contact. He kept herding it away from Xu Jing, trying to avoid halving it into multiple entities while cutting it down. Muscle memory knew this, the same way he used to know swimming.
After rendering the thing down into pieces small enough to fit in individual pudding cups, he looked at Xu Jing. The man was staring with an expression somewhere between utmost disgust and bewilderment. Jay poked a jelly bit with his toe. It wiggled. "All right, I'm going to bet those will reform into a colony if they're given long enough. Think there's going to be more in the stream bed?"
Xu Jing took a moment before he answered faintly, "Not likely enough to be an issue."
"Cool. Onward, then. Let's get you home for dinner."
#sometimes I write#nanowrimo#Transmigrator Pile-Up#I was going to let him have something cooler#and then my brain went *no*#it is far more entertaining this way#. . . also he's shit at playing any sort of part#Xu Jing is kind of wondering if the show is worth the price of admission#(It is)

TIME TO TALK ABOUT SUS
This time, by ‘sus’ I mean Glalis. I’ve done posts like this twice before, one about the masks in Glalis and the other one about the radio station in Sonder which you can check out if you want.
'Hey Trade what even is Glalis it sounds like a made-up word’ well you’re correct, it is. But aren’t most town names made-up words?
Glalis is an underground town, situated under Sonder. Sonder looks like this:
And Glalis is underneath that, up until the bit labelled ‘farming area’. It’s bigger than Sonder, obviously, and a hell of a lot darker. Because... underground.
‘Oh hey that’s neat and all but uh why are they underground if there’s a liveable island right there’ this goes into history buckle up kiddos.
Glalis was founded in the 13th century. Know what else was happening in the 13th century? There was some climate change, some soil exhaustion, minor things. More importantly, the Bubonic Plague was destroying Europe. This includes England, where Sonder is set.
Some people - the founders of Glalis - did not like having this disease, so (after checking they were all clean and good and not going to infect the others) they up and left their town, trying to find another new clean place to live.
Fun little fact - people in those days used to believe that diseases were carried via bad smells, hence in the nursery rhyme ‘ring a ring a roses’ there’s ‘a pocket full of posies’. Glalis founders were no different and were looking out for strong but sweet smells to overpower the stench of disease.
O hey this cavern down here has a bunch of glowing blue mushrooms that - woah, they smell really really sweet heck man let’s just set up camp down here.
So they did. And that’s how the grand little underground town of Glalis was born.
These glowing blue mushrooms are deadly - their spores, if you breathe them in, grow in your throat and suffocate you. But the spores are too heavy to be efficiently airborne, so you literally have to stand next to them and breathe heavily to be infected. They’re harmless as long as you’re wise about them. So they still grow there to this day, carefully sanctioned off and controlled.
Until I decide on an actual entrance, please assume this image from Undertale is the entrance to Glalis because art is dead and I’m not original sometimes.
‘They’ve only been underground since the 1300s? But you said that they have white hair, evolution doesn’t happen that quickly’ oh hey cool you read my comic sans powerpoint that’s very cool of you. You’re correct in all aspects of that: if they progressed through time like all of us, I don’t know how quickly they’d get white hair.
Good news for me, Glalis (and by default, Sonder) does not follow linear time. The way I described it is that they’re stuck in a bubble, which bounces through time (and space, but only in the UK, primarily England. It did show up once in Ireland, actually, but let’s just assume England). One day it could touch down in the 1400′s, the next in 2200. As long as there’s land to... land on, it could appear anywhere. And no, the land does not need to encompass where Sonder/Glalis would fit. It could appear on the little patch of grass outside your house. Space is weird.
As a result of the time issue, Glalis citizens could have been underground for thousands of lifetimes already, so I’d say the white hair has reason to be there and it’s not just me making up reasons for my antagonist to have white hair because I couldn’t decide on a hair colour.
‘Alright, whatever you weeb. You said Glalis was founded in the 1300′s - what about Sonder?’ wow, you’re really asking good questions today, reader, thank you, you make my job easier.
Sonder came later, in the late 1800s - the era of the Industrial Revolution and stuff. These kids were escaping the horrific working conditions (a bunch of those damn proletariate) and happened to stumble upon Sonder. They went ‘ehhh alright’ and set up shop.
Obviously, outside time means nothing to Sonder, so maybe they’ve been there for thousands of years - but they arrived after Glalis citizens had started to commonly have white hair.
It still took about six (nonlinear) months for Glalis and Sonder to first have contact, which was instigated while a party of Sonder people was setting up a farming location and a party of Glalis people were going above ground to harvest some of their crops. It was a big !!!!! fest, but eventually, the two towns sat down and talked through things.
One major thing they decided on quite early on was the splitting of food. Sonder would grow crops above ground because they enjoyed it and weren’t scared of the germs of the open air and also they had sunshine which is kinda needed for crop growth, and Glalis would rear animals (adding the animals that Sonder bought with them), as there’s a lot more room underground for the animals, and although they like it, animals don’t need sunlight to survive. They would share the food between the two populations, as organised by Sonder. So if one town underperformed in terms of producing food, they’d still get the same amount as the other town, and both would go sort of hungry for a year but wouldn’t starve.
‘Wow you put a lot of thought into that Trade - why?’
Sonder is a big meanie sometimes.
Also, fun fact, Sonder was a perfectly normal start-up town until Glalis made contact with them. They infected Sonder with the Weird, and Sonder did not know how to react so had to learn from Glalis.
Glalis was very kind and taught them how to survive the Weird, but they also threw in a few pranks. Rain is illegal in Sonder because Glalis said it was dangerous. It’s not dangerous, but Glalis isn’t going to tell them that anytime soon because it’s hilarious.
‘Well that’s interesting and all - crows? You mentioned crows? I like crows’ I also like crows they are very cool and also very smart.
Glalis, coming along in the 1300s as an escape from the Bubonic plague, is a town full of superstition. I’m sure one image you all know from the Bubonic plague era is that of the plague doctor:
What a cool mask. Well! Glalis saw that and went ‘huh that kinda looks like...’
‘Well, we better be nice to them and they’ll protect us from this terrifying plague.’
So they did. And crows, being the smart little nuggets they are, recognised that people in this area, and eventually, people with white hair, feed us, so we like them.
They’re semi-tame to citizens of Glalis at this point. If you’re in Sonder and you hear a crow, there’s probably an underground visitor nearby. Even in more recent years when Glalis has been struggling with food, they still bring a little bit out for the crows each time.
So yeah - the crows like Glalis people. Or people who feed them. Or both.
(awh look he’s smiling for once what a happy kid)
‘That’s pretty neat man. You mentioned masks underground - how did they come to be a thing?’ I have two answers for you, but we’ll go for the one that’s relevant to the story.
Masks are cool. Next question.
‘Trade you have to answer it you can’t just put stuff in your book for no reason’ I can and I will so don’t try me.
‘Alright, fine, whatever. You also mentioned ice skating?’ I vaguely mentioned ice skating in this post yes you are right. Ice skating is quite a big thing underground.
As seen in the map that yes, was painted, and no, I’m not the best painter but it was fun, there’s a big ol’ lake underground. It’s shaped like a whale and that is deliberate. Does it have meaning? No. I just like whales.
Anyway, underground = cold place. Cold place = water freezes. Water freezing = ice lake. The lake freezing is a hugely anticipated and celebrated event for Glalis, and midwinter is a time of great joy. Meanwhile, Sonder celebrates midsummer as an indication of the harvest about to start.
As a result of the freezing lake being so crucial to the culture, most people are good at travelling on ice, because, in winter, it’s a lot quicker to travel across the water than going around it. I would say that soldiers even train on ice because if you can win a fight on the ice you’re a lot more likely to win when not on the ice.
It’s never a big deal though dw dw dw it never comes into play within the book, not even once. Nuh-uh.
‘Okay so Glalis was cut off in the 1300s roughly - I’ve seen pictures of Andy with a gun and also red hoodie? What’s up with that, that’s too modern and also your book is set in England how did he get a gun’ are you referring to this picture
Yes? Yes. Cool.
So yes, Glalis/Sonder jump through time. As a result, people from all different time periods have stumbled onto Sonder. Not many, but a few. Mostly they’re deposited back into their own time when they leave. Sometimes they’re not.
When they do stumble into Sonder, all dangerous items they have are taken away. Mobile phones are included in this list, due to the fact they literally explode when in Sonder. These items are often stored underground because, once again, more room.
Sonder and Glalis also rarely visit each other. So although Sonder goes ‘hey don’t touch this stuff okay’ and Glalis goes ‘alright’ they still do it and they know they won’t get caught out. So Andy gets a snazzy hoodie. No, that’s not me reaching for an answer because I gave him clothes before I gave him a home, shut up.
Also in regards to the gun - they were banned in 1997, after the 1996 Dunblane school massacre. There’s every chance that the towns popped down before that point and someone wandered in who happened to have a gun. Heck, farmers are still allowed guns in England, the just have to be careful. Maybe it was a more recent find.
‘Wow you’ve really put a fair bit of thought into this, you nerd. Can we get one for idk Sonder itself?’ no, the summary for Sonder you get is the actual book. Sam - our narrator, the cool kid feeding the crow in one of the above pictures - spends a lot of time in Sonder and not enough time in Glalis. She records everything she finds out. You can find out with her.
Fun fact: I only like crows as much as I do because of this book
Tag last: (holy heck I have one of these now that’s exciting) @joyful-soul-collector

spn 9x11, liveblog, collected posts (all 20 of them) or as i like to call it: the sastiel episode!!! Nothing is worth losing you!!! also crowley and deans roadtrip #1, but ehhh idgaf about either soooooo.
Oh yeah, I forgot that this was not just the great Sastiel Episode TM but also Dean going like: hewwo I fucked up im poison time for depression… its time for me to fix this! – fucks up – UPS! Anyway y’all aren’t angry at me any longer right? Look there’s a bigger problem we gotta deal with now!
#like he doesn’t do it consciously and he does it with the best intentions #but the way the show handles dean fucking up with the best intentions to soothe his guilty feelings VS sam fucking up with the best intentions to soothe his guilty feelings is very different and im forever bitter #like don’t make me compare the MoC VS demon blood bc im too gay to think that smartly
The adorable conversation Sam and Cas have about peanut butter aww
#my joy is kinda tampered with bc I notice hes perching still #and since that meta im just like :/ UFFFF #like sam always wants to exert at least this level of control even when sitting down he cant allow himself to fully relax #he has to perch to be taller to be stronger to be able to get up quicker and fight or flee #and just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“you’re a terrible liar.” “that’s not true, I once deceived and betrayed both you and your brother” asdfgh I LOVE YOU CAS!!!
Aaaand the rape jokes are just continuing!!!
#i will kill you crowley
I do find the “you’re the farthest thing from family. Anyway, you wanna hunt, lets hunt” kinda interesting bc especially since Sam later on gets shit on So Much for saying the same thing to Dean (“(something about hunting is possible) you wanna be brothers…” (that’s not possible) or whatever the exact quote is) and I know very different circumstances and like Sam and Dean are actually family and have made good experiences something with Crowley cannot claim but it is an interesting parallel maybe foreshadowing Dean’s walk on the demon side of things
#listen this is me knowing from the next episodes whats gonna come and interpreting it from that angle but yeah I found it inch-resting
Cas just wants a guinea pig
#hes like so intense about it asdfghj
The hunter lady is great, I love her so much
Oh man, that’s the episode I made my first ever gifset from
#the impala scene is very good
Cain and his luscious beard
#awww I love his interior design though #the stained glass beehive #very aesthetic!!!
Seriously, I knew shooting through her damn devils traps was gonna come back to bite her in the ass
“Sam, may I ask you a question?”
“You just did” asdfgh SHUT UP
#sam you jerk asdfhh god I love that sassy asshole
“and then Dean made a choice for me”
#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh
On the one hand: Sam with his blue flannel and blue undershirt: fashion icon
On the other hand: “being human means settling your debts. Now let’s start balancing the books.” Is a very unhealthy way of thinking and I need to get this man to therapy
#pls let my boy live and get him some happy brain juiced
The hurt!sam deliciousness in this episode!
#im not the biggest fan of needles but !!!! AHHHH I do love this episode #and also cas taking care of Sam #and the way he puts his hand on sams forehead #so soft
“please help me do one thing right” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!
#i hate this I hate this I hate this #sam went from suicidally depressed bc of all the ways he let dean down to… possessed by an angel and forced to kill /again/ and to kill someone he cared about someone he promised to protect #and now they have a chance for revenge but if he dies getting that hes fine with that too #DAMN this boy needs therapy! #i am also just a big sucker for hurt!sam so this is good
Dean really gets to show his fighting skills in that scene and that’s cool
#like he just utilizes everything he can to beat the crap outta those demons
“Nothing is worth losing you”
#BABY BOY!!!! #just took a break to make a gifset and it took… a long time #mostly bc I took another break in between to eat clean hang out on the twitter
Cain just rolling up his sleeves and going on a demon murder spree is so nice!!!
#like damn hes badass!!!
The hug ahhhhhhhh
#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #the damn face pat! #hewwo im back on my bs
Crowley is such an ass!
#dean punching him is satisfying but it already feeds into the mark
#spn 9x11#collections#rape counter is at 8 now#yikes yiketh!!!#i mean after season 6 & 7 im always expecting worse but we still got another 12 episodes to go with this one where they can catch up#like season 8 was good compared to the rest#sam liveblogs

moonlitwaterwriting replied to your post “me: i’m gonna write a bunch of shance kisses! (9′v’)9 the lizard in my...”
Knuckle kisses!!
......shit bro
"Who’s the man? Whoooo’s the man? Eh? Ehhh?”
The words were accompanied by an erratic pattern of little elbow nudges, Lance’s face lit by the golden light of the setting sun, and maybe it was the relief of another planet saved, or maybe Lance was just growing on him, but Shiro couldn’t seem to muster up a single ounce of irritation.
“You are,” Shiro said, unable to entirely remove the laughter from his voice. “You’re the man, Lance. You did a great job.”
Lance half-faltered like he hadn’t quite expected that, but he buoyed back up fast, turning his nose up an preening his shoulders. “Darn right, I am.”
The shrapnel from the Galra ships was reentering the atmosphere, twinkling as it burned up as it fell into the thick forests far away from the populace, a shower of stars for tired survivors, and Shiro...
Shiro was pretty damn tired.
“Hey,” said Lance, much quieter. “We did it.”
Shiro found Lance watching him with a smile on his mouth and heartache in his eyes.
He hesitated a moment, then rested his hand on Lance’s shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “We did.”
Lance’s expression didn’t change.
Shiro’s gut twisted, glancing away as it slowly became unbearable to meet Lance’s eye. “We should... get back to the others.”
In his peripheral vision, Lance’s smile fell, the look replaced by shades of worried indecision that unbalanced something in Shiro’s chest, told Shiro that this might not be the best time to hear whatever Lance was debating.
“Thank you, Lance,” Shiro murmured, letting go of Lance’s shoulder and making to leave. Maybe some other time he could lose himself in interpersonal complexities, but right now... right now was not that time. “Let’s—”
“Hey.”
Shiro’s hand was caught, lean fingers curling around his palm, and Shiro’s stomach swooped like he’d missed a step. “...What?”
His hand was lifted up, up, up, and when he glanced back...
His knuckles were a single inch from Lance’s mouth.
Lance’s gaze focused on him, eyes a soft storm of gold and grey and blue, and pressed a kiss to Shiro’s hand so light he might never have felt it if he hadn’t seen it.
But, oh, he felt it. The step he’d missed was the ledge of a precipice, as far as his heart was concerned.
“We did it,” Lance repeated, rough and sure, his smile much clearer than before. “We’re alive. So are they. You did it too, you know? They’re safe.”
Shiro swallowed, his stomach a fluttering mess, and said, “They are.”
It came out unsteadier than he’d like, but then, everything was unsteadier than he’d like. Slipping his palm from Lance’s grasp, Shiro turned on his heel and started walking back towards their lions.
Lance hesitated.
And, really, what was Shiro supposed to do here? Embrace him? Tell him that he was appreciated? Just leave? What was even the protocol for a friend kissing your hand like some old-timey knight in shining armor? Shiro was supposed to be the knight here, honestly...
It took five steps down the slope of the hill they’d been on for Shiro to realize that Lance wasn’t going to follow him without prompting.
He glanced back over his shoulder, tilting his head and offering Lance a smile. He hoped it didn’t look as shaken as it felt. “Well? You coming?”
Lance flinched, scrambling after Shiro with his puppy-like vitality filling him back up in leaps and bounds, and all was right with the world.
...At least, Shiro thought as he brought his tingling hand to rub the odd ache under his breast bone, he hoped so.

Never Normal-Part 3
A/N: This was done for @revwinchester‘s Y1K Challenge, and in typical “me” fashion, I got a bit long winded. So without further ado, here is the final part of my Never Normal mini-series. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, and as always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. Thank y’all!
If you want to catch up: Part 1 Part 2
Summary: When the Winchesters found Y/N the moment after her world fell apart, she never expected they’d be the ones to help her put it back together...but that’s exactly what they did. From friends, to brothers, to the possibility of something more--their lives together were far from normal, which was exactly how she liked it.
Characters: Dean Winchester x Reader (Romantic); Sam Winchester (mentioned)
Warnings: Swearing, Kissing, Fluffy, a tad Angsty (Maybe? If you look really closely?)
Word Count: 2100-ish
Gifs: Found on Google. All credit goes to original creator.
You couldn’t help but smile when you entered the garage and saw a pair of bowlegs sticking out from underneath the Impala and heard a slightly off-key version of Traveling Riverside Blues floating through the air. Zepplin and Baby. The two things guaranteed to calm him down when he was all twisted up over something or another.
Only, this particular time the thing doing the twisting up just so happened to be you, a realization which filled your gut with both a healthy dose of excitement and more than a little fear. Still, what Sam had said was true, so you told those worries to go to hell, mentally pulled up your big girl panties, and a took another step.
You reached Baby’s side in a few short strides, bent your legs, and quietly took a seat Indian-style next to Dean’s knees. “So, I’m kind of pissed at you.”
“Jesus Chr--!” Dean’s startled cry was cut short by a loud thud as he attempted to jerk himself upright, momentarily forgetting his surroundings, and slammed his head into the underside of his beloved car. “Ow! Son of a bitch!” he cussed before finally managing to roll out from underneath the Chevy with a pained look on his face, rubbing one hand back and forth over the sensitive spot on top of his head. “And now I’m kind of pissed at you too.”
You lost your composure then, falling to your side, laughter spilling out of you freely. “Oh my god!” you howled, as you wiped at the tears running down your face. “How was I supposed to know you were going to give yourself a concussion? Who does that?!” You heard his deep chuckle mix with your own as you finally pulled yourself together enough to sit up and face him. “What happened to those hunter senses you are always bragging about, huh, old man?” you joked, poking him in shoulder with a finger.
“Hey, give me a break, I’m in my safe zone,” he answered, looking around the garage. “Wasn’t expecting a monster to come strolling in here and try to take me out.”
“I am not a monster!”
“Ehhh— “, he teased, tilting his head as though he were trying to decide the accuracy of that statement. “Debatable.”
“You take that back right now, Dean Winchester.”
“Or what?”
“Or I won’t tell you why I’m pissed at you.”
He snorted and took a deep pull from the bottle of beer he picked up from floor beside him. “I’m not a hundred percent sure I want to know the answer to that, darlin’.”
“You are being difficult, my friend.” You saw a strange look pass across his face when those words left your mouth, and you knew instantly what he must have thought. Damn it, that’s not what you meant. Alright, you needed to get this out before you made things worse.
“Dean, I’m pissed at you because I will never be able to check the last item off this to do list of mine,” you explained hurriedly, reaching into your pocket to retrieve the pink post-it note you carried with you everywhere these days, and timidly holding it out for him to take.
He glanced down and the piece of paper and then back up at your eyes. “Y/N, you don’t have to show me this.”
“You don’t even know what it is.”
“Don’t have to. All I know is for the last 6 months that thing has been showing up in your hand every time things got tough, and you’ve never said a word about it—not even to Sam—which means it’s important, but also personal…and also that it more than likely has something to do with your sister.” After living with them for months, sometimes you forgot how good the boys were at their job—how much they noticed the little things.
You blinked away the tears pricking at the back of your eyes and leaned your back against the door of the Impala, letting your head dip downward as a deep sigh escaped from your lips and your fingers fidgeted with the note you held in your lap. You felt Dean’s body brush against yours as he leaned back against the car beside you, and then a calloused hand as it gently covered yours.
“But...if you want me to read it…if you’re positive you’re ready for that, then I will. I just had to make sure."
You only had to think about it for a second before you nodded and quietly answered, “I’m sure.”
Dean’s fingers brushed over yours as he pulled the note from them and slowly unfolded it. You watched as his green eyes traced the swirling lines of your little sister’s handwriting. You knew what he saw—a simple to do list comprised of only three tasks, two of which had already been checked off. To him, it probably seemed silly, but the words she wrote on that little post-it had given you the strength to fight in a moment when you had wanted nothing more than to give up. Just like the doctors she’d always wanted to be, she’d somehow found a way to slow the bleeding—to help you heal.
“I found that about a month after you and Sam saved me. The night you had to carry me out of the Lyon Saloon. Y’all had been trying so hard, but I just…I just couldn’t get my head above water.”
“I remember,” he whispered. “It was the first time you’d mentioned her since we’d brought you home with us.”
“Right. And it was also the first time I cried since the night I lost her.”
“Uh-huh—and it was a big ugly cry, too. Mascara down your face. Snot. The whole nine,” he joked, attempting to lighten the mood, pushing some of your hair away from your face as he did so. “Funny thing is, even then, I still thought you were beautiful.”
“Until I puked on you.”
“Until you puked on me,” he agreed with a laugh.
“And I think I asked you if it was normal to hurt that much—if everyone acted that way when they lost someone, and you said yes.”
“Yeah, I did, but you told me that was bullshit, and you didn’t want to be normal.”
“And you said, ‘Fine, you can be different, but that doesn’t mean you have to be alone’… and that you’d walk with me in the dark until I could remember how to turn on the light.” You looked up at him with a grateful smile and continued, “Which made me think of my Harry Potter books that she had loved so much.”
“Nerd.”
“Whatever,” you shrugged, not even trying to deny it. “Anyway, after you left, I stumbled around, digging through the boxes Sam had brought from my house, and I finally found the Prisoner of Azkaban. That’s where she had hidden the post-it—right on the page that contained the quote you’d put in my head,” you said, bumping his arm with your shoulder.
“Which was?”
“’Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.’” You pulled the note from his hand and traced its edges with your finger, remembering how something had changed in you the moment you found it. You’d never know why she decided to write it, much less hide it where she did, but you were certainly appreciative because after that things started to get better. You started to process everything. You opened up a little to him and Sam. You took your first step out of the dark.
And then the night you pitched the idea of Dean’s birthday dinner, you went back to your room and checked off the first two items on her list.
1. Remember that I love you.
2. Know that you can do anything.
“So why are the first two items checked off?” Dean asked quietly, interrupting your thoughts.
“Well, I never really questioned how much she loved me. Luckily for me, she made that obvious. But about a week ago, I finally came to the conclusion that if I could survive losing my parents and then losing her—which forced me to move in with and take care of you two over-sized man children, then I really could do anything.”
“I don't know what you are talking about. I’m a pleasure to live with. I cook—every now and then. I do my own laundry—eventually. I replace toilet paper rolls—sometimes. And I don’t suffocate everyone with my gasses after a couple burritos like Sam does.”
“You may have a point there,” you chuckled.
“So now, how about you telling me how I’m responsible for you not getting to check off number three on that list,” Dean said, his voice taking on a more serious tone again.
3. NEVER become NORMAL! :)
That was the big one. You opened your mouth and closed it a couple of times, unsure of how to start, but he waited patiently, a smirk on his face and warm, green eyes fixed on yours. You folded the note up and placed it back in your pocket before you let your answer begin to rattle off your tongue.
“Because, with you, I want normal, Dean. I want to kiss you whenever I want. I want to be the one you take to bed. I want to call you mine and hear you call me yours. Hell, I want a family, a home, a white picket fence…all of it…a normal apple pie life. You make me feel like every other silly girl you’ve ever winked at, or flirted with or brought back to the bunker…and that makes me normal. And that means, number three is—”
Dean cut off your rambling with soft press of his lips against yours. When your mouth quit running and your eyes fluttered closed, he pushed one hand through your hair and deepened the kiss. Okay, the way your heart was racing at the moment—that definitely wasn’t normal. No other man had ever kissed you the way he was kissing you right now. You melted into him with a soft sigh, and when his tongue brushed across your lips asking for permission to enter, you gave it to him without hesitation. The taste of him on your tongue and the feel of his hands on your body was more intoxicating than all the alcohol you’d consumed that evening, and you suddenly wondered why in the hell you’d waited so long to have this conversation.
When you ran your hands up his chest and neck and snaked your fingers through the short hair on the back of his head, you heard a growl in the back of his throat and felt his grip on you tighten. A second later, he was wrapping his other arm behind your back and hauling you into his lap.
Your eyes shot open with a gasp, and you giggled as you settled into your new position. Now that you were facing the door of the Impala, you could see your reflection in her shiny black paint—see the smile he put on your face, and you realized that normal might not be such a bad look for you after all. You gazed down at him, still smiling, enjoying the feel of his fingertips ghosting along your collarbone and down your sides. He grinned back up at you and pressed a single, soft kiss against the base of your neck.
“What?” he asked quietly.
“I think I just decided that I’m not pissed at you about my list anymore.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, if I get to kiss you like that every day, I’m totally okay with apple pie normal.”
“Well, I hate to disappoint you, sweetheart, but unless it’s on my plate, apple pie isn’t really my thing. You can kiss me or take me to bed any time you want. I’ll gladly call you mine if you’ll call me yours. I’ll tell you I love you every day because I do.”
When he saw the shocked look on your face and the question in your eyes, he reached up and gently rested one hand on the side of your face, stroking your cheekbone with his thumb, and confirmed his confession with a simple nod of his head. You leaned forward and kissed him again, whispering an “I love you too” against his lips before you let him continue.
“We’ll even talk about a family one day, if that’s what you want. But there’s one other thing I can guaran-damn-tee.”
“And what’s that?”
“That life with the Winchesters—life with me—it’ll never be normal.”
When Dean stood up, opened Baby’s door, and pulled you inside, you knew in your heart that what he said was true—ordinary wasn’t an option with him. And because of that, you didn’t think twice about grabbing for the pen Sam left on the dashboard, unfolding the note from your pocket and checking off the last item on the to do list your sister had left you.
She would have been proud. You’d picked yourself up off rock bottom and opened your arms to a new kind of family. You laughed again. You loved again. You turned on your light. You lived.
And not one minute of it had been--was--or ever would be...normal.

Jason’s 10th Annual Post/Pre-Year Review/Goal
I don’t think anyone could have predicted what was to come in 2020. 2020 was a joke to most people. I think 2020 will go down in modern history as the worst year in....years. We had so much go wrong that what went right is something that should be cherished. The Australian wildfires in January was NOTHING compared to what was to come - even the monoliths and the “murder hornets.”
However, as I lived through 2020, let’s see how the goals panned out give the apocalypse occurred with the Corona Virus Pandemic occurring.
***
Be a good dad – That’s right all, after 38 years of life, the wife and I decided to become parents.
At the time of writing this, my wife is 10 weeks pregnant and we’re expecting “baby bat” in July 2020. We won’t know gender until later but we’ve already started thinking about names (Dante if it’s a boy or Nadja if it’s a girl). I hope that regardless, we can do this which I think we will. We’re currently planning on converting the library (Caitlin’s space) into the baby room and starting initial baby stuff now.
(Accomplished - so far) - So as expressed above, we had a healthy baby boy and we did name him Dante. I did end up converting the library to the baby room. Here’s a photo with Binx being a little shit.
As you can see, it still has library qualities but we installed the crib and I ended up finding a black drawer up the road so you room looks good. I feel bad that Caitlin’s room got over taken but to play devil’s advocate, before Dante, she never walked into the room so I don’t feel that bad.
I think I’m a good father. One thing I didn’t expect to do was be a “stay at home” father however if there is one good thing about the Pandemic of 2020 was it shifted me to be 100% work from home and that allowed me to be with you more than I ever expected. The first 3 month’s of Dante’s life it was a back-and-forth game with Caitlin where she took care of Dante during the day and I took him at night. Afterwards, Caitlin’s mom and I took him most days. Dante and I bond really well though it’s not always perfect. I don’t want to hold him as much attention as he wants but I take care of him ALL the time and work really hard to make sure I’m always thinking beyond what I want. I do feel bad when I’m on a meeting and I can hear him crying but it’s still better than day care. Besides, I think he likes me right now.
youtube
Begin my race car career – wait what? That’s right, after playing iracing for awhile and getting a decent raise at work, I decided to purchase a Legends car and will start my racing career in early 2020. I started “Head2Bed Racing” as the name of the race “team” in honor of Dad and I look for this to be my new hobby/equivalent to a bowling league.
http://head2bedracing.com/index.html
My goal is to be in the top 10 in points at season conclusion. I don’t have a goal to win just yet, I’m more concerned with racing and keeping the car under me. I would hate to damage the car to the point that would end my racing for a while. I already know I won’t be able to make all the races scheduled and I don’t know how I’m going to drag my wife into this (I hope she does and doesn’t want to leave me – lol). Wish me luck.
(Goal failed but mission somewhat accomplished) -
I have several photos that sum up 2020′s racing career.
That’s not a mistake - that’s 2 cars destroyed with the 3rd (white 7) still giving me problems with the brakes. I’m really disappointed how things went but I can say I didn’t quit even if my ego (and bank account) took a hit. Caitlin was really supportive through 2020 with this...probably more than she should have been but here’s hoping 2021 is better. The best news about 2020 was I finished NOT LAST!!
Vacation – This is ambiguous. I don’t have hard plans just yet but I know my window of reasonable opportunity is closing fast with a baby on the way. I need to talk to Caitlin about this one more but I’d like to find something we can do either before she gets too big and becomes the boulder from Indian Jones...
or, if we can pawn the baby to one of our parents, do something post pregnancy. Caitlin’s mom probably wouldn’t mind the later.
(Failed) - The good news was I got my wife a passport in early 2020. The bad news was we didn’t vacation that much. We ended up doing a couple mini-vacations such as Daytona and St. Augustine but no real vacation. At least we got to see the lighthouse in St. Augustine which was on Caitlin’s to-do for awhile.
Health – The goal for 2020 given the wife is pregnant and not drinking is get my weight to 225 lbs. This is for a few reasons – 1) I looked pretty okay at that weight looking at older pictures 2) That will inevitably have impact to racing a Legends Car as my parents so kindly pointed out 3) It’s a reasonable goal that I should be able to accomplish relatively early in 2020.
(ehhh) - So in 2019, I started testosterones shots as a way to help in some aspects of life. In working into doing this, I discovered I had high blood pressure and cholesterol. So in 2020, I started getting labs done and started going to the doctor more even though I hate doctors. I haven’t died so I guess that’s a positive but I could always do better too. I accomplished some aspects of better health in 2020 but Caitlin and I are still fat, dumb, and happy so I guess I can’t complain too much.
Professional Development – I state it like that because I don’t exactly know the exact goal to accomplish this. I don’t want to restart the doctorate program just yet, I don’t know if I’m eligible for the PgMP certificate yet and even if I was, I haven’t committed myself to studying to the level I need to and even if I got it, I don’t know the career impact. I’ll leave this open ended for now and see what I have to say next year.
(Failed) - I didn’t really commit to anything for 2020. I’m not eligible for the PgPM yet so once I am, then maybe. No use trying to get a bunch of certifications that have no value added.
Pay off Debt – With the new job, I “should” be able to clear off a lot of debt. This will help in the goal later in getting Caitlin a new car and a new house before the kid hits 3 years old.
(ehh) - so yes and no - I did pay off some debts but as you can see with the racecar, not as fast as I could have.
Friends (again) – I would like to find more friends. This, in theory, should occur because of the phases in life after getting out of the Navy. The first phase was my hair-on-fire party all the time phase. That ended shortly after settling down with Caitlin. Then there was the “retirement” period (I don’t know what to call it) where I stopped going out and the friends I did have before sorta just went away so it was just myself and Caitlin. With me getting a new hobby here in actual racing, I’m hoping to meet friends that way and with the kid, we may somehow meet other parents and meet people that way too. Bottom line, I need to be better at these whole “friends” thing.
(Accomplished) - So with the race car and a few “trying to be more social” I was able to hangout more with people like Eric and Aaron. I didn’t really get any racecar buddies since I didn’t race much in 2020 but that doesn’t mean it’s still not possible.
***
So with 2021 - let’s start talking about what we need to do!
Be a good father - This is my number one continuation goal. So far, I am going to start Florida Pre-Pay college for Dante and I don’t know how long this “stay at home” father deal will last. I think at some point we need to get him socially interacting when he’s old enough but I am not baby expert so I don’t know that is necessary between now and next year. I think as long as I continue to be the best I can, I should be okay. All I strive to do is take the best qualities of what I imagine a good father should be, add to what my dad did right for me, remove what I think didn’t work for me and hope for the best. Will it work 100%? Absolutely not but it’s a start.
Be a good husband - I feel this goes without saying but then again, looking at my finalized 2020 post, I didn’t include this so I guess if I was a dick to my wife last year, I can say that’s why.
I want to make sure my wife is happy. This includes doing the small shit and the big shit. I hope 2021 includes her graduating mortuary studies. I may die that day from partying too hard.
youtube
Racing career resurgence - My bar is set low but at the same time I want to raise the bar eventually. Right now, at the time of authoring this, my car’s brakes aren’t, or appear, to not work properly, My biggest problem thus far is having confidence in my car. For car #1, the brakes pedal went straight to the floor and I hit the wall. For car #2, the brakes worked but I locked them up thinking I could go faster than I could and hit the wall. I painted Auburndale speedway with the dead caucuses of my cars in 2020. I did take the #7 car out for practices but the brakes were questionable the whole time and now, I will miss the last race of 2020 because when I went to bleed the brakes this morning, the brakes went straight to the floor.
I’m over this. I am going to have the car looked at and hopefully put in a race ready shape so I can start the 2021 season proper. It’s my hope to start and race enough to be “competitive” but I don’t think I will win a race in 2021. I want to run when I can and as appropriate with the responsibilities I have right now. I would like to learn this damn thing so maybe someday I can “retire” and crew chief Dante and take everything I learned and be have a “thing” we can participate together in (see goal #1).
Vacation - So good news - there are 2 events planned in 2021. One in January where I convinced my wife to allow us to go to Las Vegas for my 40th birthday so we are starting to plan that now. Hopefully when I write about this in 2021 in my retrospective, it was as fun as I had hoped. Also, the 2nd planned event, I hope it is just as special as I planned. I can’t say anything now because that would give too much away because this 2nd planned vacation is my 5 year marriage anniversary but I hope that is as special as I hope too. There will likely be more so this goal seem achievable as of today.
Get a raise - I am still one of the most underpaid project managers where I work. Don’t get me wrong, I really have nothing to complain about because my current job was the first to put faith in me and so they should get some rewards for giving me my first shot at being a no-shit project manager and not spend a decade of my life being underutilized but at the same time, it would be nice to get paid the same as someone who is hired off the streets and just so happen to has a resume that suggest they are good. The best thing that happened to my career was getting hired where I work. The worst thing that happened to my career is underselling myself as per usual to get away from bad situations and now I pay the price for underselling myself earlier on and now try to make myself seem more valuable now. The good news is my immediate supervisors know what they got...it’s just a matter of convincing HR who don’t even know me.
Pay off Debt - This is moving quickly atm. I think this is super important even if it’s not the number #2 or #3 one’s I’ve posted because it’s going to be really important once Caitlin finishes school and we start considering moving. One thing we know is Caitlin and I don’t intend to live at our current house much longer. I would say the moment Dante hit’s 3 years old, if we are still living at our current house, there’s a problem.
Health - I got to live for my boy and my wife. The good news is since the gyms closed, I went ahead and bought a home elliptical. The goal with it is to get exercise and still work on the weight - much like everyone at 40.
Anyway, I think that’s reasonable goals for 2021. This isn’t by normal “10 things” but I don’t think I’ve done 10 things in several years and for the most part, I want to focus on what I CAN do more than what I should do and failed at because I said I wanted to do something to fill in #9 or #10 like previous years.
With age comes wisdom and maybe this is wise.

SDR2 Boys and an S/O with a Cute sneeze
Another fluffy imagine! Hope you enjoy.
- Mod Teruteru
Hajime Hinata
- He already knew you were cute.
- You had a cute and soft voice, an adorable aesthetic, even the way you moved was soft and cute.
- So it didn’t surprise him that you had a cute sneeze.
- Allergy season was the best for him.
- You walked into class with a box of tissues.
- “S/O…? Do you have a cold?”
- “No, I just have major allergy- ee- ah-cho!”
- When you looked up from your arm, Hajime’s blushing.
- “What’s wrong Haji-cho!”
- He wants to hug you so bad!!
- “Hinat-cho!”
- He’s standing up from his desk and hugging you.
- “Uh, Hinata-kun I- cho!”
- His face is full red.
- You can feel the heat coming off of his body.
- You were sweating. “Could you let go of me Hinata-kun?”
- He stopped hugging you, but his hands still rested on your shoulders.
- “You are really cute.”
- You're really confused.
- “I'm spreading germs everywhere why are you hugging me??”
Nagito Komaeda
- He hadn't expected you to do something that cute so quickly like that.
- You were just in the library, having a good time when,
- “Ah chm!”
- Nagito looked at you for a second, then went back to reading.
- “Ah chm, ah chm!”
- He didn't know what to do.
- He buried his face in the pages of his book to hide his blushing.
- “*sniff* Nagito do you have a ti- chm!!”
- The book was now on the table along with his face, still in the pages.
- “Are you okay Nagito?”
- “I-I'm just fine S/O. Why would you ask that?”
- He knew that you didn't have to answer that.
- “Nagito I’m serious, I need a tissue. Ah chm!”
- With his face still in the book, he pulled a tissue out of a jacket pocket and handed it to you.
- After blowing your nose someone shushed you and that was that.
Kazuichi Souda
- You were just watching him work on some tiny robots in both of your likenesses.
- When he showed you what the shell of your robot looked like, you praised him heavily on it.
- “D’aww! It’s so cute! You really know how to get the details right.”
- “Aw S/O, you really don’t need to,”
- Kazuichi moved his arm, brushing some kind of dust in your face.
- “Ack! *Cough Cough*”
- “Oh! No, I’m sorry S/O. That was my fault.”
- You wiped your hands on your face trying to wipe the powder off.
- “It’s fine. All you did was- Ah cho!”
- He squealed.
- “Ahh! Your so cute! That was so cute! So much cuter than the robot!”
- You blushed and hid your face with the collar of your shirt.
- “Whaaat? No I’m- Ah cho!”
- He used his hands to prop his chin up and just basked in your cuteness.
- “Mmm, stop.” You puffed up your cheeks with air. “You’re the cute one. Not me…”
- He hugged you and smiled.
- “You have to admit, we’re both cute.”
- You let the air out.
- “Fine we’re both cu- Ah cho!”
- “D’aww!”
- “Ehhh, stooooop.”
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu
- You always managed to stay serious whenever Fuyuhiko was getting ready to discuss “business opportunities.”
- It was only once when you broke.
- This in turn made him break as well, but in a different way.
- Fuyuhiko was writing on some important papers while you were reading some kind of book.
- You did feel a bit sick that morning, so sneezes didn't surprise you in the slightest.
- “Ah cho!!”
- The Yakuza put his pen down.
- “The hell was that?”
- You scratched the side of your nose.
- “It was me. I think I might be getting a cold. Ah cho!”
- You sniffed and watched Fuyuhiko’s cheeks turn pink.
- “Something wrong?”
- “N-no I'm fine. You should take something for that-
- “Ah cho!”
- Fuyuhiko's cheeks were getting redder.
- “...cold.”
- You stood up to go to the bathroom.
- “Good- Ah cho! *sniff* idea.”
- When he was absolutely sure you left the room, he buried his face in his hands.
- Why is his girl/boyfriend so damn cute?!
Teruteru Hanamura
- You were just visiting the Hanamura diner to meet up with your boyfriend.
- When you walked into the kitchen, Teruteru was already there putting the finishing touches on a dish.
- When you announced your arrival he smiled and handed you the plate of food he was just working on.
- You sat down at a table and took a bite.
- “Mm, it's really good. The tangyness was a nice surprise, but you went a little heavy on the pepper.”
- Teruteru took mental notes as you kept talking.
- “But in a general sense it's a nice...a, a nice… Ah cho!”
- You covered your face with your arm. Recovering quickly you lowered your arm and kept talking.
- “Its a nice simple meal with a home cooking kind of feel… Uh, Teru?”
- Hanamura was covering his mouth with one of his hands, and keeping balance on the table with the other.
- “Is something wrong?”
- You caught him so off guard his accent started leaking out of his mouth like water.
- “N-nothin at all sugar- Uh! Ahem! You just surprised me is all.”
- You giggled and went back to eating.
- Finally, you know a way to get Teruteru as blushy as he does to you.
Nekomaru Nidai
- You had realized you were sick that morning.
- You didn't let that get in the way of Nida’s training streak and forced him out to the gym.
- Besides, your illness wasn't that bad.
- When Nidai got back, he brought a bag of cold stuff with him.
- Tissues, cough drops, the normal stuff.
- He didn't know exactly what to do with it all so he handed it to you.
- You took a box of tissues out of the bag.
- “Thank you Nida- ah cho!”
- He looked at you for a few seconds, kind of confused wether or not that was you.
- “Ah cho! What?”
- “It's uh, nothing. You're just cute.”
- You blushed. If it was any other day, you would have jumped on him saying how cute his is when he's flustered. But seeing that you were sick you settled on a smile.
- “Thanks Nidai.”
Gundam Tanaka
- Gundam had intoduced you to one of his newest rescued animals.
- Little did he know that you were allergic.
- “Please note that I wanted to name him 'Supreme Crimson Cadet Mun-C’ but since he is going to a house of humans, I settled with them for Pip.
- You dawed at the furry creature and went to pet it until you realized.
- “Oh wait, Gundam I'm allergic to the- ah cho!”
- He was so confused.
- He looked around for a second to see if there was a kitten near by.
- When you went to cover your mouth and nose with the inside of your elbow, Gundam realized that was you.
- “Oh,”
- You looked at him. “What?”
- Gundam stood up.
- “Of course such mighty sound would come from my wonderous Dark Queen/King! The world will know fear when they hear your sneeze of anguish! Ahahahahahahaa!”
- You and Pip were just staring at him.
- “That's cool but being around the Crimson Cadet over here is too much for my sinuses.”
Ultimate Imposter
- You and Imposter were just hanging out in your room. With your cute face and SHSL worthy persuasion, Imposter had taken off his mask when he entered.
- Both of you were doing research of someone with their social media when it happened.
- “Oh! Refresh the page, he just posted somethi- ah cho!”
- It was the highest pitched thing he has ever heard come out of a humans mouth.
- “Can you do that again?”
- You gave him a questioning look.
- “What?”
- “Make that sound again. I've never heard anything like it.”
- “I don't think I can just replicate a sneeze.”
- Is that what that was?
- Actually now that he realized it asking someone to sneeze is a pretty weird request.
- He wanted to hear it again though.
- J-JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO IN CASE HE CAME ACROSS SOMEONE ELSE WHO SNEEZED LIKE THAT!!
- Y-You’re also really cute too…
