What do you think Divus was like during his student years in NRC?

Personally I think he was a mixture of Ace, Cater, and Vil. A mischievous troublemaker who was also trendy and sociable with a good fashion sense. Since he is the potion and science teacher, I think he was in Pomefiore.

Also I don’t know if this is true or not, but I heard somewhere that Divus mentioned that he was always followed by two lackeys, who I have no doubt are the twisted versions of Jasper and Horace.

We actually already know some things about Crewel's student days from canon (mainly taken from his Unified Exams voice lines and/or from Happy Beans Day):

Trein was a teacher at NRC when Crewel was a student.

Trein says that Beansfest got out of hand during the time Crewel was studying there, which led to there being stricter rules imposed for the current iteration of Beansfest. (It is not known if Crewel himself contributed to that aforementioned chaotic run.)

There was an incident when student!Crewel accidentally overturned a pot of mandrakes. Their screams shattered all the glass in the Alchemy workshop.

Crewel tells us what he wasn’t as rowdy as the kids are nowadays.

He’s still in contact with two of his “henchmen” (ie his juniors) that he met back in school. Crewel implies they aren’t clever, but that he can be himself around them. These two men are most likely twisted versions of Cruella’s hired help, Jasper and Horace.

From what we know of the canon, here are some conclusions I've personally drawn:

Knowing Trein and Crewel's current relationship (they disagree on trivial things like whether cats or dogs are better; it gets Trein riled up), I assume that they've never really gotten along. Perhaps Crewel was a constant sore spot for Trein or was frequently reprimanded for his behavior in spite of having excellent grades.

Crewel has a voice line in which he advises the player to not wholly devote their efforts to studying and keeping their head down, or else they will become inflexible as adults. He also advises them to “go wild once in a while”, but not so wild that professors will scold you. This makes me think that Crewel had a similar attitude when he was a student himself. That is to say, he was a good student, but also had his rebellious streaks and moments of acting out. Maybe he went too far sometimes, which is why he now informs the player to not cause trouble for their teachers in the pursuit of seeking thrills or a break from their studies.

As the sender has mentioned, Crewel has good fashion sense and currently teaches science courses, meaning he must be proficient in the area. These traits make him a suitable ex-Pomefiore student, as that dorm tends to have students that enjoy aesthetics and excel in potion-making. (This is also the popular headcanon within the fandom.

Crewel has what I would call “refined” tastes and interests, such as sports cars. I feel like he also had this discerning eye for quality and trends as a student.

Crewel is strong-headed and asserts himself well. He walks into a room and just commands it. Because of this, I see him easily being kind of a “leader of the pack” kind of guy—a cool, charismatic person that others can’t help but follow or admire, even if they hate his guts or find him pretentious. I don’t know if I would call him friendly (like, I don’t see him as outgoing), but rather he’s just got a magnetic presence that attracts people to him and definitely knew how to navigate a complex social web.

He gives me the impression that lots of his classmates looked up to him or called him “aniki” (as a sign of respect) 😂 (Twisted Jasper and Horace definitely do this www)

Sometimes I feel like Crewel’s leadership capabilities weren’t used for the… best purposes? Like I’m sure he had his spats of immaturity and led his boys to pull off some stupid pranks or whatever. Maybe they put Lucius in a tree so they can all get out of an exam while Trein is looking for his familiar?? But then they all get an earful about it later… That’s just one example off the top of my head!

The student!Crewel I picture is a lot like Vil in many ways, but stands on his own due to his wild side. Someone who is cool, confident, fashionable… with his own set of rules and a slight edge to him that isn’t very Vil-like.

I hope that sufficiently explained my thoughts ^^

fan03 fan04 oh do u think hes the special guest rose was talking about?

fan04 fan03 idk i can’t really picture yn with a hockey player tbh

you and Trevor had known each other since you were children. your parents met because your brother and Trevor played hockey together when they were younger, and so your parents quickly became friends. your parents' friendship led to many nights at the Zegras household and so on.

you and Trevor had very similar lifestyles. the two of you never seemed to be in the same place for too long so it was increasingly difficult to ever spend time together. like last year for instance when Trevor was on off season you were busy in different states and countries performing at sold out arenas and shows.

despite it all though, you and Trevor remained friends. which is why you were so excited to see him at your show tonight.

you had got him to come to the arena early, so he could watch you and your group do soundcheck. “Visitor here!” your security guard called out as he walked into the empty arena where crew members were busy getting things ready for the show.

“Trevy!” you screamed, rushing down the stage steps and into his awaiting arms. he spun you around quickly, the both of you laughing as he finally set you back down. “i’m so excited you’re here!” you smiled up at him and he smiled right back.

“i’m so excited to be here! this is so cool" Trevor replied, letting go of you so he could survey the arena. the barricade was just being set up and the lighting was being tweaked.

your group members had all greeted Trevor and then you guys moved on to soundcheck, marking your dances and performing some of your tracklist to adjust the sound.

hockeyfan01 uhhh🤔

ynoffical so glad you could come💗

trevorzegras so glad you invited me❤️‍🔥

fan06 HE WAS INVITED BY YN???

the show was great, but in your opinion the private after party was better. after the show, Trevor met you backstage and you gave him a quick tour.

“God this is so cool!” Trevor marvelled at basically everything you showed him, “and you guys were so good tonight too, like unbelievable” Trevor continued, rambling about how cool this whole experience was for him.

“Hey yn?” one of your group members jennie approached you two. “the girls and i are going to head back to the hotel now,” she stated as the other girls gathered their things.

you looked towards Trevor, making a quick decision that you knew you wouldn’t regret. “i still never got to see anaheim,” you prompted him, which got him to excitedly invite you over to his place to hangout.

you talked to your security, and since you were performing another show in cali tomorrow evening, you were free to spend all the time you wanted before rehearsals tomorrow with Trevor.

things got heated pretty quickly once you got to where Trevor lived. he gave you a quick tour around his neighbourhood, and you took it all in with wonder.

“It’s crazy how different our lives have gotten,” you spoke up in the quietness of his bedroom.

“I know. From family friends to global superstar," Trevor replied, nudging into your side before he moved on to get his sweatpants out of his dresser drawer.

“Oh you're one to talk! Mr. hockey superstar! I’ve seen all the highlights” you laughed, causing Trevor to turn away from his clothes to smile at you.

“you watch me play?” he asked.

“i said i watch the highlights, i’m much too busy to watch full games,” you joked. “No but seriously i do watch some of your games” you added. “I’ve actually been waiting for you to invite me to one…” you teased, sitting on the edge of Trevors bed that he gave up for you to use for the night.

Trevor laughed in response, gathering all of the things he needed for the night out of his bedroom. He leaned against the doorframe, “i’ll see you in the morning” he smiled, turning around to leave his room.

“Wait!” you shouted, and Trevor turned back around.

“Yah?”

“You don’t have to leave,” you said, shocking yourself. “I mean… there’s plenty of room here for the both of us” you said sheepishly.

“No i mean its fine, i can sleep on the couch. It’s actually pretty comfortable and-” Trevors rambling was quickly cut off by you.

“stay with me. please Trev?” you basically pleaded, and Trevor only nodded. He got ready for bed and laid down beside you.

The two of you stayed up practically all night. you told Trevor that tour life was really getting to you. stating that you often grew tired of all the travelling and the loneliness that came with it. he of course understood, and you felt your feelings for him change into something more.

the morning came too soon, and you had to be back in Inglewood for your show later that evening. the drive was mostly silent, which was a little confusing if you consider how loud Trevor is all of the time.

when you got to your hotel you stayed sitting in Trevors passenger side, his big orange car doing nothing to conceal the two of you from the people out on the street.

you turned towards him, and whispered a thank you.

“when will i be able to see you again?” he questioned, and you wished that yours and his life was more stable so seeing him could be an everyday thing.

“I’ll be done with my tour soon, there’s only a few more dates and then we could… i dont know” you trailed off.

“i don't want you to leave,” Trevor admitted, and you thought you finally found the cause of his silence on the drive here.

“i don’t want to leave you” you admitted.

the both of you stared at each other for a minute, cars honking all around you as you took way longer than you should’ve in front of the hotel.

Trevor made the first move. he cupped your cheek, pulling you in for a soft kiss.

you made the second move, pulling him in once he pulled away a little too soon.

Little-known facts about the cult rock band – part one.

Led Zeppelin – founded in England in 1968, the band was almost doomed to success because its founder, guitarist Jimmy Page, and his buddy, bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones, were already experienced session musicians. Adding a vocalist Robert Plant and the drummer John Bonham – both young but well versed in their shared local music scene – complemented the band perfectly.

An international sensation of the 1970s, Led Zeppelin remains one of the most successful and legendary bands in rock history, breaking records with their rousing live performances, diverse genre catalog, and refusal to play by the rules. Some of their songs, including the iconic "Stairway to Heaven" and "Whole Lotta Love", became classics of the time and genre.

youtube

However, over the years, the band's touring exploits – in particular, frequent fun with female fans, the destruction of hotel rooms and reckless use of substances and alcohol – have become a cautionary tale about the dark side of rock and fame in general. It may look colorful and interesting, but in fact the career of the Zeppelins was extremely dark and tragic...

Below are some of the most unique and little-known facts.

Robert Plant plays the harmonica

Robert Plant was afraid of the stage – at first

While this may seem shocking, given that Robert Plant is now widely known as one of the most iconic rock frontmen of all time, the lion-maned singer once suffered from self-confidence issues. Plant was still literally a teenager (namely, he was 20 years old) when Led Zeppelin first hit the road in 1968, and the shouts of the crowd, as well as harsh media reviews, were initially unbearable for him...

youtube

At the beginning of their journey, critics were not kind to the Zeppelins, and Plant, being the face and voice of the group, often bore the brunt of their insults. Some accused Robert of affectation, others of "excessive femininity.".. The cruel words deeply hurt Plant, who was already prone to self-doubt.

Later, the group manager Peter Grant admitted that he had to hide bad reviews from Plant in every possible way, and even comfort the anxious vocalist just to bring him on stage. It was for this reason that Robert also hesitated to write lyrics, which is why many considered him the weak link of the group (again, at the initial stages).

John Paul Jones miraculously did not die in the fire.

John Paul Jones

During a tour of America in 1973, Led Zeppelin threw a party in New Orleans, Louisiana. The group stayed at a hotel in the French Quarter, known for its vibrant nightlife... And that night the bass player John Paul Jones will never forget!

youtube

The story goes how John met a certain Stephanie, and invited the girl to his room. The problem came up soon, and it was that Stephanie was actually a man! However, John later claimed that he knew this, and that Stephanie was his good friend, with whom they drank and had fun. In any case, it's not about what gender Stephanie was, and who she was to John. After entering the room, the two had a few drinks and smoked. They were so drunk that they forgot to put out their cigarette butts, and just fell asleep. Soon a fire broke out in the room, and John and his friend miraculously survived – they were found unconscious when the firefighters arrived! It was this incident that Robert Plant immortalized in the song "Royal Orleans".

"Everything is in perfect order on Bourbon Street –You can meet my friends, they hang out there all night long..."

The band was robbed during a US tour.

Led Zeppelin. Early 70s

On July 29, 1973 – the last night of the American tour – Led Zeppelin became the victim of a strange crime. The story goes that tour manager Richard Cole opened the band's safe while at the hotel and found it empty!

"I opened this thing, and there's nothing there–it's empty! Only passports! I burst out swearing because nothing else came to mind at that moment..."

To understand the full range of Cole's emotions, it's worth emphasizing that there were more than $200,000 in the safe– a significant portion of their income from the tour. Not wanting to disturb the band before they went on stage, Cole proceeded to resolve the issue as confidentially as possible. While the Zeppelins were performing, the FBI guys searched the hotel. There were no signs of forced entry on the safe, indicating that whoever stole the money had used the key. Cole was the first to come under suspicion, and he even had to undergo a lie detector test (which, by the way, did not reveal a lie in his words).

youtube

After the show, the FBI also questioned the band members, but found no leads. The next day, the robbery made national news. Although the crime remains unsolved to this day, many believe that Peter Grant is responsible for the theft.

John Bonham struggled with depression.

Despite the fact that he looked brave and fearless on stage, the drummer John Bonham had great difficulties on the road. A family man at heart, Bonham, known to his bandmates as Bonzo, often missed his wife and two young children who stayed in England when he toured. At the beginning of his career with Led Zeppelin, he started drinking a lot to fight his depression and homesickness, which most often led only to chaos...

A friendly and gentle man when sober, Bonham was prone to anger, recklessness and outbursts of rage when intoxicated. He often took out his alcohol-induced rage on hotel rooms and anyone unlucky enough to be near him at the time of his rampage. Over the years, this behavior earned him the nickname "The Beast".

"Bonzo drank because he hated being away from home, it's true. Between performances, it was difficult for him to cope with emotions ...", – said John Paul Jones.

John Bonham

The tour also aggravated Bonzo's mental state. He began to be afraid of flights, and also suffered from constant panic attacks before performing. One day he confessed to a journalist:

"Every year it gets worse for me. I have terribly bad nerves all the time... It's even worse at festivals."

Zeppelin concerts have become dangerous.

As their popularity grew, Led Zeppelin began to give larger-scale concerts, which led to new problems. On July 5, 1971, the band performed in front of a boisterous crowd of about 15,000 people at the stadium Velodromo Vigorelli in Milan, Italy. The promoters begged the band to ask the public to stop lighting the fire, which frontman Robert Plant repeatedly did, but to no avail. The situation escalated, and hundreds of police used tear gas, water cannons and batons to subdue the crowd. Many were injured.

Led Zeppelin

Disoriented by the blinding smoke, panicked onlookers rushed onto the stage, causing the band to drop their gear in the middle of the performance and flee. In the confusion, one of the Zeppelin roadies was hit on the head with a broken bottle and was hospitalized. Page later recalled:

"It was absolutely terrible..."

And this was just the first of many dangerous performances by the Zeppelins. During the band's 1977 American tour, fans without tickets burst through the gates at several concerts, leading to hundreds of arrests. That same year, violent riots broke out in Tampa, Florida, among a crowd of 70,000 when the show was interrupted due to rain, leaving the police outnumbered and powerless. Then, during a concert in Cincinnati, Ohio, a fan fell from an upper floor. It was the last concert in his life...

The extension follows....

i think this is the request box??? SORRY UGH))) hi!! first time requesting! Could you do a BDE(or Austin)! Elvis x reader (could use she/her pronouns). Reader is timid and socially awkward. During one of Elvis’ shows, the staff at the venue are being really rude to her while she’s trying to get to his dressing room and saying like “just because you’re sleeping with him doesn’t give you any authority to come back here.” Elvis hears about this and confronts them after the show telling them that if they ever talk to his pretty girl like that again that he would do more than just fire them (FIRST TIME REQUESTING IM SORRY THIS IS A REALLY AWKWARD REQUEST)))

Oooh Anon. You’ve single-handedly pulled me out of my writing block with this request. If I could hug you, I would, but instead enjoy Austin!Elvis wanting to burn the world down to protect reader. I hope it's worth the wait.

Keep sending requests for Austin!Elvis, guys! These are so fun!

It's Only Love - Austin!Elvis x Reader - 2,000 words

What you’ll like: Protective Elvis, BDE Elvis, hurt/comfort, pet names ('baby' and 'pretty girl'), Elvis stands up to Colonel

Warnings: Period-typical misogyny, mild violence (nothing major or graphic but there is some grabbing)

Masterlist | Requests are currently open (Please tell me everything you want!)

“Well I’m leaving town baby, I’m leaving town for sure, then you won’t be bothered with me hanging round your door- but that’s alright…” Your boyfriend drawled into the microphone, leaning in with a sultry sway of his hips that had the crowd sighing.

Elvis’ eyes found yours as he sang, “But that’s alright, that’s alright now mama, any way you do… Woo-hoo!” He howled as the song, and the show, finished.

The girls around you went wild, showering the stage in everything from red roses to their bras. It was always a strange sight, especially when one bra fell over Elvis’ head and he turned to throw it at Bill, the bass player, with a laugh.

You’d been there every step of the way on the tour, from Memphis to Lousianna and all the way to North Carolina. No matter where Elvis went, there was a crowd of girls screaming his name and throwing their garments at his feet.

But you weren’t one of them. Elvis’ eyes always picked you out in the crowd and held you, performing your favorites as a secret serenade in every show.

You’d known Elvis since you were children, growing up together on the outskirts of Tupelo, sneaking into Black Pentecostal churches together, and- slowly as growing up- falling in love.

Your parents hardly had to be persuaded to let you follow him across the country, because you had practically been married since the first time Elvis had grabbed your hand and led you inside the tent as they sang Up Above My Head. Elvis didn’t just teach you the words, he’d burned them into your soul, never letting go of your hand once as you both sang,

“I wanna soothe my heart, I wanna ease my mind, I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find…”

Elvis had found music, but you’d found him.

** **

Usually Elvis would sneak out from backstage and meet you after the show, but with bigger crowds and Elvis more recognizable than ever, you’d agreed it was best for you to simply come backstage from now on. Everyone who worked with Elvis knew you- even the band members affectionately called you Mrs Presley.

Which made it surprising when the bouncers- rare members of the team who weren’t Elvis’ direct friends or family -cut you off.

“Backstage is for band members only.”

“What? Tommy, come on.” You put your hands on your hips, frowning up at the tall man. “You know me.”

“Sorry ma’am, Colonel’s orders.”

“Excuse me?” You caught eyes with Bill, passing behind Tommy. “Hey, Bill!”

“Hey, that's ol’ Mrs Presley!” Bill greeted you with a smile. “C’mon boys, let her through.”

“Backstage is for band members only.” The other bouncer, Tex, repeated. “Sorry Bill.”

You looked at Bill for help, but he was frowning at the other men. “Well, I’m a band member, and she’s with us. Let her through.”

“Can’t. Colonel’s say-so.” Tommy said expressionlessly. “Real sorry, Bill.”

“You’re gonna be.” Bill looked at you. “Wait here, it’s gonna be alright.”

The second Bill was out of earshot, the bouncers focused their attention on you. It was the first time all tour you’d felt… afraid. It was a hot July night and you’d left your cardigan at home. Suddenly your shoulders felt too bare as they looked you up and down, disgust slowly filtering onto their faces.

“Just because you’re fucking the boss doesn’t mean you can come back here.” Tommy growled, while Tex stepped forward to shove you further back.

“He'll be done with you soon enough. Girls like you get boring after a while.”

You bit your lip, fighting back tears, but you instinctively pushed back against the larger man. Tex’s face twisted in rage as he grabbed your arms with bruising strength.

“Don’t think you can get away with that, just because you’re sleeping with Presley.”

He shoved you back so hard you hit the wall. You cried out in shock and pain as your head hit the wall and the world turned blurry.

“What the fuck is going on here?” A low voice growled from behind the bouncers. Elvis, still in his pink and black stage suit.

Bill was with him, but when he saw the scene, he took a step back from the singer as if he’d explode. If it were possible, Elvis would be ticking like a bomb ready to blow.

“Elvis-” Tommy started, but Elvis silenced him with one hand. His dark blue eyes fixed on Tex, who was still in front of you, so uncomfortably close you could smell the sweat under his suit. It made you nauseous.

You were still dazed from your head hitting the wall, unable to speak as Elvis stalked forward. For every step forward Elvis took, Tex took a step back.

“I’m gonna give you one chance to explain what you were doing, touching my girl like that.” Elvis snarled. “And that’s one more chance than you deserve, so be quick.”

“W-well, boss-” Tex suddenly didn’t seem so big, hands at his sides, staring at his shoes. He looked more like a child being scolded. “We didn’t mean to-”

“Then what did you mean to do?” Elvis snapped. He was between you and Tex now, hand grasping yours with a reassuring squeeze. "Cause it looked to me like you were throwing my girl around like a rag doll, which she ain't."

“Listen, we-” Tommy stepped forward, but Elvis interrupted.

“No, you both listen. You’re fired. If I see either of you near my show or my pretty girl again, I’ll do more than just fire you. Got it?”

He didn’t wait for their response, wrapping an arm around you and guiding you backstage to his dressing room. The pain didn’t fully set in until he sat you in his chair. You winced.

Elvis felt at the lump on the back of your head. No skin was broken, but it still throbbed. Colorful bruises were already beginning to form on your arms where Tex had all-but thrown you backwards.

“Oh, no. No, no, no." Elvis murmured when he saw the marks. He was on his knees, looking up at you with a pained expression. “I’m so sorry, baby.”

He kissed every bruise on your skin so softly you barely felt the heat of his lips. All the while he murmured comforting words,

“I ain’t ever gonna let this happen to you again. Never gonna let anything like this happen again. I promise.”

You were silent, replaying Tommy and Tex's words over in your head. They had no idea what they were talking about, but the words still left you with a lingering nausea, far worse than any of the bruising on your body.

“How’s my girl doing?”

“I’m okay.” Your voice was meek, even to your own ears.

"Hey, pretty girl," Elvis frowned, cupping your chin, running his thumb over your bottom lip. “You can tell me.”

And you did. As the tears finally spilled over your eyes, you told Elvis the worst of what the bouncers said. Tension flooded into his shoulders as you repeated their words.

Just because you’re fucking the boss doesn’t mean you can come back here.

“Those sons of-” Elvis caught himself, running a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry you had to hear that, baby. They ain’t ever gonna work again, I'll make sure of it.”

He kissed the back of one hand, then the other. Elvis’ eyeliner was messy after a night of performing, sweat still glazing his skin. He looked… tired. You’d never seen Elvis tired before, and the sight scared you more than anything. For the first time in twenty years of knowing him, he looked less than invincible.

You wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaning down to kiss him.

“I’ll be fine, really.” You smiled weakly. “You didn’t have to fire them.”

“If I ever had to see ‘em again I’d do worse than that, baby.” He pulled you in close to kiss your forehead, then your lips. “I’m gonna talk to the Colonel. Make sure he files a police report and hires real security for our next show.”

You bit your lip, remembering their words. Colonel’s orders. “Elvis…”

Your lip wobbled. Elvis trusted nobody in the world more than the Colonel, aside from his mother. Would he believe you?

Warm hands rubbed up and down your shoulders. “Hey, I’m right here.”

“The Colonel made them do it, they said he said not to let me through.” You blurted out, clamping a hand over your mouth, tears rising to your eyes again. Elvis’ hands froze on your shoulders. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry-”

Elvis stood up. Through your tears, you could see the fire in his eyes. You thought he was angry before? Well, he was furious now. Hands bunched to fists at his sides, he didn't move for a long moment, just stared. Then he left the room without a word.

It was common knowledge you didn’t get along with the Colonel. Elvis considered him a godsend, the man who launched his entire career. You considered him a toad, especially after one conversation you’d overheard in Graceland:

“If the fans know about her, they won’t follow you.”

Elvis thought you’d gone up to bed, but you had lingered to grab a glass of water… and listen to the men talking business. The thought had never crossed your mind before that you were part of that business.

“Little girlfriends, they don’t last. But your music? My dear boy, that is immortal- if you play your cards right.”

Elvis laughed, and your blood froze. Then the laughter stopped abruptly.

“You’re serious? What’re you talking about, Colonel?” Your boyfriend’s voice was light and playful, but there was an edge to it. Something underneath you’d never heard before. “I sing from the heart, and she is my heart. Without her, there’s no music.”

“My boy-”

“Understand me?”

“But-”

“Do you understand me?” The playfulness dropped from his voice. Elvis was easily persuaded to go along with just about anything the Colonel dreamed up (“His plans got us this far, haven’t they?”) but from that night one thing was clear: your relationship was not up for negotiation.

Until tonight.

You stayed there for a while, emptiness settling in your stomach. Elvis didn’t believe you. Why would he? The Colonel had got him this far. Got him a tour in all fifty states. Made him enough money to buy Graceland and as many Cadillacs as he could imagine. You were just a girl from Tupelo, he could find another.

Still, you waited, hoped he’d come back. You could apologize, say you must’ve misunderstood, say anything to get him back. A difficult life with Elvis and the Colonel was better than an empty life without the man you loved.

Minutes turned to a full hour, so you left, dragging your feet towards the exit, hoping your motel room would still be available to you. Elvis wouldn’t leave you in the middle of America, miles from home with no way back, would he?

Distant shouting caught your attention. You recognized Elvis’ voice immediately and followed down the corridor to a slightly-open door that simply said ‘Colonel’.

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Elvis shouted so loud it made you jump, even as you paused outside the door to listen. “Who’re you gonna ban next, my mama?”

“Your mother is not the problem, my boy-” The Colonel sounded flustered, barely himself.

“And neither is she!” Elvis snarled, slamming something down inside the room. “Goddammit. I’ve told you before, I sing from the heart. You want to stop that?"

Silence. Had the Colonel ever been lost for words before?

Elvis continued, "Fine, we can break all our promises. How about this? I don’t see her backstage before and after every performance, I don’t sing. Or-" Elvis snapped his fingers, "Better idea, we go public. Let's see how many fans actually follow me for my music. I don't care about the rest of it."

“Elvis-”

“Those are your options. I’ll give you one more chance, but that’s it. And if I ever, ever find out you pulled this horseshit again, you're done."

The Colonel was silent for a while, but perhaps he muttered something quietly, or simply nodded, because the next thing you knew, Elvis was coming out of the room, fists still clenched and face flushed with anger.

All of that melted away when he saw you.

“Baby,” He murmured, taking your hand in his. “What’re you doing out here?”

"I- I thought-" Your body shook, and Elvis took the black jacket from his shoulders to drape it across yours. He led you away from the Colonel's door, back to the privacy of his dressing room.

"You don't have to throw your life away because of me." You finally said.

Elvis smiled, wiping the tears from your cheeks with both hands. "Sweet girl."

Without warning he picked you up and sat back in his chair, holding you on his lap while he peppered your face with kisses.

"A life without you? That's not one I want to be living." He pressed your foreheads together and let out a sigh. "But this right here, you and me? That's what's right. And I will protect that- protect you, Always."

here's my very all over the place feelings on certain aspects of baldur's gate 3 as a romani immigrant. warnings for spoilers of course. mind you i have not finished the game yet!

1. i really can't believe there aren't more people talking about the very blatant racism in astarion's questline. im quite sure it's because the game already touches on it, even giving you the choice to call astarion a racist, and also because everytime we roma talk about anything that makes us uncomfortable we're immediately shunned and "well actually!"'d.

the problem is that it feels Extra icky because the man who was the inspiration for the original dracula, Vlad the Impaler, kept romani slaves. this is the ONLY part of vampire history that, no matter how different the media, will always stay relevant for some reason.

castlevania has the seekers, a nomadic group of magic users who pass their history down orally. while they are *mostly* treated well, the first arc of the show literally shows them being hunted out of town for the simple act of existing.

vampire the masquerade... well.. that's an entire other can of racism worms.

curse of strahd has the "vistani", a nomadic group of people who are treated like third class citizens everywhere they go, and are of course, most known for being tarot readers and drunkards.

the vampire diaries have the "travellers", who get called "gypsies" explicitly as a derogatory word by other vampires.

i want you to take any vampire media you enjoy and ask yourself, "is there anti-roma racism in this?". i guarantee you, if you look for it, you're going to find it. for SOME reason, the only thing that stays consistent with all these different vampire IPs, is that romani people are hated and scrutinized at every moment of their lives.

i MORE than understand that astarion's racial insensitivity is part of him. it's part of what makes him malleable by the player. you can help him understand why he's wrong, or you can lead him down a worse path.

i still reserve the right to feel some sort of way about astarion sacrificing fantasy-romani children for power, willingly. don't get me wrong, he's my favourite character, right up there with halsin. which is why i obviously have so many feelings about this.

(yes, the Gur were written inspired by romani people, if you were not aware)

2. the anti-immigrant sentiment is such an inherent part of the story that i did not think was going to stick around for SO long. i dont really have much to say about this, i think i should've expected it. as a fan of dragon age (i know, tragic) i'm quite used to unnecessary fantasy racism everywhere i go, i just hoped it wouldn't be part of the main crucial story.

3. larian studios i am so so so thankful for the halsin romance. eternally. forever and ever. he's my pookie bear and i'm so grateful some extra time was made to create a romance for him.

can i ask you why the hell does halsin want to LEAVE. At The End. i've noticed how much he contradicts himself throughout his questline and i just... I don't know. i've seen some other people complaining about how non-chalantly he talks about being a sex slave and i understand too, but i think it's part of his character to not take the horrible things that happened to him seriously like he does with others. that, or someone at larian took an unknown substance that led them to make halsin Very inconsistent.

with the poly situation, some people are strictly polyamorous! some people are strictly non-monogamous and do not feel comfortable being in a monogamous relationship. i understand the frustration everyone, but that's how halsin is. i dont know if that was the writers' intention, but that's certainly what he comes across as to me; strictly non-monogamous.

what i DONT understand is why he says he only wants you, calls you "my heart", is so fondly and lovingly attached to you, and then he just.... Dips? Whatever. I'm ignoring that part forever. it's not canon to ME!

anyways. yeah. feel free to Engage in some Friendly conversation. emphasis on friendly, for the love of g-d

#ezio.txt #the bear speaketh #bg3 halsin #halsin the druid #halsin #astarion #astarion bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate iii #antiziganism #sorry for rambling but also i have a mouth. i must scream #if you try to well actually me about this i'm eldritch blasting you #fantasy racism #dragon age

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “ START OVER? ”

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ıl PROFILES lı ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀y/n's believers

HAN Y/N is a new uni student who would like to finish her psychology studies without ending up in a burnout. she's an extremely helpful person who never thinks about herself, and who only had eyes for one boy for years : kim gyuvin. although she's been looking after him from afar for two years now after their terrible break-up, y/n still hopes that one day both of them will be able to pick up the pieces of their lost relationship.

SHEN QUANRUI or ricky, is y/n best friends since the beginning of high school. ricky got to know y/n through gyuvin, whom he had known before. it's thanks to him that y/n is so well-informed on the gyuvin' subject, even if he thinks it would be better for y/n to move on. even though they know each other extremely well, ricky preferred to stay by gyuvin's side — which led them to stop seeing each other irl. he began studying sports, particularly soccer.

CHOI YUNJIN or jinni is y/n's best friend since kindergarten. they know each other by heart, and jinni will always be ready to pounce on the first person who dares to harm her precious y/n : kim gyuvin being the first on her list. besides that, y/n think nobody hates gyuvin as much as she does.. but unfortunately for jinni, she has to put up with y/n's incessant ranting about this boy. she's a volleyball player, just like y/n, and a psychology student as well.

YANG JUNGWON is y/n's friend since high school, they met when y/n wanted to join the debating club after a boy in her class confronted her in front of everyone — a debate y/n won with incredible ease. they quickly hit it off and developed a strong friendship, leading jungwon to often spend his evenings at the main character's home. he's a psychology student as well, but would like to go into medicine studies in the near future.

EUN HWI is a new friend of y/n, whom she miraculously met on vacation. they were bungalow neighbors and quickly bonded together — it wasn't until further discussion that they realized they were going to the same university. but hwi decided to join the sports students, by choosing basketball as his major.

PHAM HANNI is a new friend of y/n, she's more like a classmate than a friend at the moment — but y/n remains convinced that they will both be good friends for the foreseeable future. hanni is a bubbly girl who plans to help y/n in her top secret gyuvin story.

LEE HEESEUNG is a final-year student responsible for showing y/n around and taking charge of the smooth running of her first few weeks at school. he's a cool, laid-back guy who's determined to keep his new baby under his arm for the rest of the year.

+ HAN YUJIN (who doesn't need a twitter account) is y/n's little brother. before the whole gyuvin thing, y/n and yujin were very close, but their relationship soured when yujin felt like he was losing his new best friend because of his older siblings. after a while, they became somewhat reconciled, but their relationship remains fragile and shaky — even if y/n would give anything for yujin.

Lewis Hamilton

summary: Lewis Hamilton is a loyal brit through and through. what happens when he meets the youngest member of the royal family?

warnings: literally none, this was cute as fudge.. also pls pretend lewis went to the met gala in 2017, thanks

wc: 3.1k

The first time Lewis Hamilton met Princess Sophia of Windsor, they were at a UNICEF event William, Kate and herself were attending. The three of them had of course made a fuss when entering the event. Not only were their faces well known, but they were surrounded by guards which caused even more of a ruckus.

Sophia rolled her eyes as people began to approach to greet them, sharing a look with her guard Lily who had been with the Princess since she was 22. “If we break off from the Duke and Duchess, it may be less chaotic,” Lily suggested to Sophia’s immediate agreement.

The blonde grinned cheekily at her older brother who’s eyes screamed for help, leading her guard towards the side of the room where she recognized several friends that typically turned up at UNICEF events. “Sophia,” the girl’s friend Eva bowed her head in a show of deference before looking back up with a wicked smirk. “We haven’t seen you around since that event over in-”

“Eva, don’t talk about that,” the girl practically shivered as she recalled her night at a sports event benefiting a local children’s hospital. Let’s just say, too much champagne was drank and Lily had to drag Sophia out so she didn’t fall asleep at the table. The two women chatted for a few more minutes before Eva’s attention was caught.

“Jenson!” she grinned turning to greet the approaching blonde. “How are you?”

Sophia smiled politely as the two spoke, turning to the man by his side. “Hello, I’m Sophia,” she introduced herself, the man’s eyes widening slightly.

“Princess,” he murmured, taking the hand she had held out to shake and surprising her by leaning down to press a gentle kiss to the back of it. “It is an honor.”

“The pleasure is all mine,” she smiled sweetly. “It is not often I get to be in the presence of the next big player in formula one.”

“Ah,” Lewis smiled, relaxing at her cheeky tone. “I am sure you get that opportunity more than most.” The two laughed before being joined by Jenson and Eva. Jenson and Sophia had met before, so the four of them spoke at length about the upcoming season, the event UNICEF was putting on, and even the upcoming Champion’s league match, before they were all called to take their seats.

Sophia found herself reluctant to make her way to the head table where she could see William standing and waiting for her. Offering one last smile to the group (and mainly Lewis), she decided to find him after dinner.

When the plates were cleared later, Sophia was left pouting when Eva informed her Jenson and Lewis had bailed out before desert to catch a flight.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next time the two ran into each other, Lewis was fresh off of his first championship with Mercedes. The following season, the man was making great progress as Silverstone approached, his home Grand Prix.

Sophia and her family attended sports in their country often, but this year at Silverstone, the Silverstone team had asked for a representative of the family to give away the trophy. When it came down to it, the most logical choices to represent the family were Harry or Sophia. The two had been ready to play rock paper scissors to see who could go when their press officer’s had told them the both of them could easily attend.

So that led them to where they were now. Sophia was walking through the paddock in a yellow midi sundress, with closed toe wedges while Harry sported khakis and a light sport coat. The siblings were joined by their security and publicists.

As the group walked the Grand Prix grounds, they found themselves visiting different garages. Harry and Sophia had both met Christian Horner in passing, so stopped in to greet him and his team. The garage practically turned silent as the two stepped in, murmurs of formal greetings coming from the staff as they bowed their heads.

Sophia and Harry waved the formalness off. The rest of their family always gave them grief at how little the two of them adhered to protocol with the public, but that was just how it was. The two spoke with Christian and were joined by Helmut, the two offering to walk them through the garage.

“Harry, I think Lilly, Miranda and I will keep walking around,” the girl smiled at her older brother who was ecstatic to get an inside look at the Red Bull garage and car. The redhead waved his sister off, making sure she was joined by her primary guard, publicist, and another guard before allowing himself to be led further into the building.

“Where to Princess?” Miranda asked as the group came back out of the garage and looked both ways.

“Let’s go this way,” Sophia led with Lily and the 6′7 Marcus trailing behind her. The group ambled along before Sophia spotted the infamous Mercedes logo. “Shall we stop in with another home team?” Marcus and Miranda followed Sophia, but Lily couldn’t help but smirk as she realized what likely was fueling the Princess’ desire to head to this garage.

“Hello,” Sophia greeted the engineers sitting at the pit wall with a demure smile. The three men seemed to recognize her, standing from their seats. “I was wondering if I could pop into the garage? Maybe sneak around a bit?”

“Of course Princess,” one of the men bowed his head. “Let me find someone to walk you through.”

“Oh please, don’t go through the trouble-” the man had already scampered off before Sophia could stop him. With a sigh Sophia turned to the two other engineers. “May I know your names gentleman?”

Sophia spent a few minutes speaking with Leo and Jack, learning about their jobs and what it was like to be working in Formula One. The group was laughing heartily at a joke Leo had told when they were joined by the original man Sophia had spoken to, along with a tall brunette.

“Princess, may I introduce Toto Wolff, he is the team principal for Mercedes,” Sophia offered the man her hand with a grin.

“Mr. Wolff, it is a pleasure!” She beamed at the Austrian man. “I must confess, I was really hoping to meet your wife this weekend.”

Toto laughed as he gestured for Sophia to follow him. “Princess, you are not the first to say that to me and you will not be the last.”

Sophia peppered the man with questions about his role with Mercedes, how he had ended up in the line of work and more. The man himself was a little shocked at how much the woman seemed to care about what he did. She clearly wasn’t asking to be polite, she was actually interested.

Toto walked her around the garage, pointing out the different analytical databases and other fixtures typical of an F1 garage.

“And here we have this year’s car,” Toto gestured towards the machine taking up a large portion of the garage.

“Marvelous,” Sophia clapped her hands, walking closer to take a look.

“Oh, Princess,” Toto called out, the blonde turning to face him as another blonde woman and a familiar face joined him. “May I introduce my wife Susie Wolff, and one of our drivers, Lewis.”

“Mrs. Wolff, it is amazing to meet you,” Sophia approached the woman. “I have been keeping up with your work in F1, and I find it amazing the way you are carving out a path for women in the sport.”

Susie shook Sophia’s hand, shocked at the younger woman’s kind words. “Thank you princess, it is a pleasure. I was a huge fan of the talk you gave last year at the Refuge fall gala.”

“Thank you Ms. Wolff,” Sophia beamed, turning to the other gentleman in his driving suit as Susie insisted Sophia call her by her name. “Mr. Hamilton, a pleasure to see you again.”

“Princess, it’s Lewis” he bowed his head before meeting the woman’s gaze with a flash of his pearly whites. “How have you-”

The man was interrupted by barking coming from the front of the garage.

“Ah, one second,” Lewis blushed. Sophia raised a brow as she saw Lewis hurry to meet a blonde woman, speaking for a moment and grabbing something before heading back to them. Sophia gasped as she saw the beautiful English bulldog trotting by the driver’s feet.

“Oh my,” Sophia giggled as the dog panted loudly as he came to sit by the group. “May I?” she asked Lewis, gesturing towards the dog. He nodded and the woman crouched down and offered her hand to the dog who was happy to accept the head scratches she offered. “What is his name?”

“This is Roscoe,” Lewis smiled as Roscoe moved closer to the blonde, panting happily while looking up at his owner. “He’s my copilot.”

“Well, I know why you race so well then!” Sophia laughed, giving the bulldog one last pat before standing back up. As she did, movement seemed to pick up in the garage.

“Ah, that is our cue,” Toto commented, turning to Sophia. “Princess, we would be honored if you would join us for the race and watch from the paddock club, or even down here on the pit wall.”

“Thank you for the offer Mr. Wolff!” She beamed. “Let me get back to see my brother and see his plans for the race. May I stop by tomorrow and let you know?” The team principal nodded before he and Susie said their goodbyes after Lewis assured them he could lead Sophia out.

“How do you feel about the race this weekend?” Sophia asked as they approached the front of the garage.

“I like my chances,” he grinned at her. “Especially if you are supporting me.”

Sophia blushed and opened her mouth to respond before a call of her name interrupted her. Harry came strolling up with his group, offering a wide smile to the driver in front of him.

“Prince Harry,” Lewis bowed his head, Harry waving him off the same way his sister did.

“Lewis Hamilton, a pleasure,” Harry reached out to shake his hand. “You have some talent on the track, it is great to meet you.”

“Thank you,” Lewis’ cheeks darkened. “Before I head back in, I wanted to extend my team principal’s invitation to you as well, we would love to have you join us to watch the race tomorrow.”

“I think that would be amazing,” Harry looked to Sophia who nodded in agreement.

“We will see you tomorrow then?” Sophia asked, trying to hide her happiness.

“I will stop by before the race,” Lewis smiled. “And of course I will see you on the podium.” With that the driver strutted away.

The next day Sophia and Harry chatted with the other spectators in the paddock area for the Mercedes team. There were several family members of drivers, investors, and even some celebrities. Sophia was pleased when Susie had made her way up and said she would be spending some time in the VIP area with them to watch.

Soon after Susie had made her way up, they were also joined by Lewis. He was stopped several time while trying to make his way to where Sophia, Susie and Harry were standing.

“Good to see you,” Harry shook his hand, Lewis greeting Susie before nodding his head at Sophia.

“Are you excited for today?” Sophia asked.

“Yes, very,” he grinned. “Wish me luck?”

“You don’t need luck,” Sophia grinned. “You have skill.” The group laughed at her cheesy words.

Later, Harry would hand trophies to Sebastian Vettel, and Jensen Button. Sophia would hand a trophy to Lewis as the winner of the British Grand Prix. And later the British Public would loose their minds at the pictures released of Lewis offering a hand to Sophia to assist her off the podiums.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Are you nervous?” Miranda, Sophia’s Publicist asked as the two sat in the back of a limo, Lilly and Marcus seated in the front.

“Not really,” Sophia ran her hands over the silky navy blue fabric covering her body. She and her team were headed to the Met Gala in New York. When her invite had come, her Grandmother and oldest Brother hadn’t wanted her to go.

Being a part of the family, one always had to worry about the press, as well as potential threats. But when discussing the event, Sophia had mentioned how she wanted to go and pay homage to her mother who had attended some 20 years earlier. That had sent the two of them quiet, and when her grandmother was reminded that her cousin would also be in attendance, she had begun to plan her trip.

“I think more than anything, I am excited to experience something Mum did,” Sophia admitted to the people with her who were not just her staff, but her friends.

“She would be very proud of you,” Miranda reached over to squeeze the young woman’s hand. Soon after the group was in a line of cars unloading at the event. They waited their turn before the door opened and Miranda and Marcus exited before Marcus reached back to offer Sophia his hand.

With a deep breath, she stepped out of the car. Taking a few steps, she and Miranda grabbed the train of her dress to allow it to drape behind her. For the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons theme, Sophia had worked with Versace and ended up in a silk form fitting dress. It was in a navy blue reminiscent of her mother’s dress in 1995, and draped low in the back with a high neck in the front. The end of the dress pooled behind her, with strands of gems flowing from the hem.

“Ciao Donatella,” Sophia greeted the woman as she made her way through the line of guests waiting for the iconic carpeted stairs.

“Princess,” the woman greeted in her thick accent. “I am so honored to have you here tonight. And you look even more stunning than we could have believed.”

The two spoke for another minute before the designer made her excuses to go walk with her other guests. Sophia spoke with her team for a few more minutes before it was her turn.

“You got this!” Miranda hyped. “If you need us, we’ll be right behind you!”

With a deep breath, Sophia plastered a soft smile on her face before walking out of the covered area. Immediately her name was being shouted, but the woman slowly made her way up the carpet and through different poses. She felt Miranda adjust her dress train a few times, but other than that she did not have a personal interaction until she made it up to the top of the stairs.

“Here we have Vogue,” Miranda whispered as they approached a man with a microphone.

“Princess,” the man smiled with a nod. “A pleasure, I am Andre with Vogue.”

“Thank you!” She grinned. “I am excited to be here!” The two talked for a minute about her outfit and the inspiration before Andre switched gears.

“Is there anyone here tonight that you are excited to see?” He asked.

“Well, my cousin is here so it is always good to see her,” Sophia and he laughed. “But I am a huge movie lover so there are a lot of iconic artists here that I am excited to see.”

“Someone else is here we have seen you with before,” Andre teased as the girl quirked a brow. “Lewis Hamilton is here tonight as well, did you know?”

“Is he?” Sophia tried to act non-chalant but in reality her heart raced at the information.

“Yes, we actually have him right over to our right!” Andre directed her attention to the side where Lewis was interacting with a blonde woman Sophia recognized from the track.

Sophia spoke with Andre for another minute before she took her leave. “I know this may look like gold for the press, but I want to say hello,” Sophia murmured to Miranda, the woman sighing heavily. She knew the younger woman would do what she wanted so she, Lily and Marcus followed along as she approached the duo who had been joined by an older woman as well.

“Hello!” Sophia called as they got within earshot.

“Oh wow,” Lewis murmured as he turned to see her approach. “Princess, you look absolutely stunning.”

Sophia’s cheeks burned at the compliment as she turned to the two other women with him. “Hello, Sophia,” she held her hand out to shake with the older woman first.

“Princess,” the woman bowed her head before taking her hand. “Carmen, I am Lewis’ mum.”

“Oh, how lovely!” Sophia gasped. “You have raised a wonderful young man, may I say.”

“Oh thank you so much,” Carmen smiled with wide eyes. “And may we introduce Angela Cullen, the real one that keeps Lewis on track.”

Sophia giggled as she heard Lewis scold his mother under his breath, shaking Angela’s smile. “So nice to meet you! I have my crew with me as well, Marcus, Lily and Miranda. They keep me all in line.”

The group spoke for a few minutes, Lewis complimenting Sophia twice more before the event staff started calling for people to head inside. “Princess,” Lewis called softly before she could walk away after saying goodbye. “Are you in New York long?”

“I am here until the day after tomorrow,” she answered as he stepped closer.

“May I take you to dinner tomorrow?” Lewis asked with a shy grin, Sophia meeting him with a bright smile.

“I would love that,” Sophia nodded, asking the man for his phone. She put her number in and handed it back, but Lewis grabbed her hand in his, pulling it up to press his soft lips to the back of it.

“I am looking forward to seeing you again,” Lewis murmured, the two holding eye contact until Miranda nudged Sophia’s shoulder.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sophia and Lewis would see each other two more times during that trip in New York. Two weeks after, the press would catch wind of Sophia in the paddock at the Australian GP.

A year later, the public would be shocked as the 5 time Formula One World Champion would accompany Sophia to Harry and Meghan’s wedding.

And in 2021, she would be standing by her father as he knighted Lewis.

That same year, the public would see Sir Lewis Hamilton and Princess Sophia Windsor sit down in front of the BBC to discuss their engagement and plans for the future.

I Like U | BaseBall Boys Series | Kim Seungmin

pairing : kim seungmin x fem!reader

genre : fluff // mention of bullying (very light) // seungmin contemplating 🤣

note : not read proof or proof read whatever so... 🫠✌🏻

summary : The puppy-like Kim Seungmin has everyone's hearts blown away. When he saw a girl getting bullied in the cafeteria for the first time ever, he felt his heart torn into pieces. Immediately covering the girl with his jacket before the bully could even drench her in milk. Everyone was surprised to see him helping the girl out but what they didn't know was that the girl they were bullying was someone who meant a lot to him. Even though she decided to break their friendship without any reason, his little crush on her never stopped.

OTHER MEMBERS

It always hurts to break your friendship apart especially when no reason is told. You didn't hate seungmin neither did he hate you. However, in the 2nd week of university, everything went downhill. Seungmin didn't know what was going on.

You always watched him from afar. He looked happy with his new group of friends. Thinking to yourself, maybe it was better that way. Your avoidance led to your friendship being torn apart silently. This kept on going for the past 1 year until...

Seungmin aggressively stood up, heading towards the direction where a crowd of girls gathered. The boys looked at him bewildered. "Seungmin! Where are you going—". The sound of a drink splashing was heard. Students near them gasped in surprise.

The boys jaws dropped as they witnessed the supposed female victim of the bully being shielded by seungmin. Never had they seen seungmin interact with her which took them by surprise.

___

"s-seungmin?". The familiar scent you longed for. You sobbed quietly. You felt a coat cover your body as the sounds of the milk dripped down the floor. You dared yourself to look up in his direction.

"Are you alright?". The first thing that came out of his mouth. He was drenched in milk but seemed to be unbothered by it. You nodded hesitantly. He helped you stand up, immediately pulling you to stand behind him. You gripped tightly onto his coat that he drapped across your shoulder.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!", He yelled at the group of girls in front of him. The girl nearest to him, flinched in surprise. Everyone in the cafeteria had their eyes on the event unfolding. The well known baseball player of their school & notable known for being school's sweetheart was suddenly gone. It was as if he had changed his persona.

His jaw clenched. You had never seen him this angry before despite knowing for almost a decade. "she was being rude so I had to teach her a lesson", the girl tried to reason. The girl had her hands, palm to palm, begging for him to believe her little pathetic lie. It was obviously a little far fetched.

Seungmin scoffed in disbelief. He clicked his tongue. "Really? I saw everything that happened from afar. So you're telling me, drenching her in milk would solve the problem!?....you know what. I'm not going to waste my time on people like you. I'll make sure the headmistress suspense you from this university. Even better if she expelled you", he spoke in a threatening tone. The group of girls immediately ran away.

You bite your lips. Slightly self-conscious at what trouble you were getting yourself in. Seungmin turned his body. He grabbed your arm, dragging you along with him. "Let's go y/n. We don't entertain people like them". Everyone watches as the two of you walk out of the cafeteria.

"How long has this been going on?", seungmin sat across you on the bed. You covered your face, not daring to face him. You knew he was furious.

"Y/n, talk to me... please", he pulled your hand away from your face. He gently wiped away the fallen tears on your cheek. You hesitantly nodded your head. He looked at you for approval before pulling you into a hug.

You rested your head against his chest. You gripped onto his shirt tightly. Seungmin left a kiss on the top of your head. His left arm, gently stroking your arm, hoping you would calm down sooner.

___

The boys peeped through the slightly ajar door to seungmin's room. They had no idea who you were or how you were connected to seungmin. The way seungmin looked at you, it was as if he knew you for years.

"Check this out", Felix whispered, gaining the boys attention. Moving quietly away the seungmin's door, making their way back to the living room. Felix pans seungmin's phone towards their direction.

"Girlfriend? Ex girlfriend? Crush?".

Seungmin was always very cautious. He never left his phone laying around. Well unfortunately he had entirely forgotten about his phone that he left it in Felix's hand.

The phone was unlocked. An immediate picture of you and him hugging was revealed. Judging by the photo, they could tell, it was taken during seungmin's high school days.

Whoever you were, you must have played a big role in his life for him to defend you like that in front of the whole school.

The girls involved in the bullying case were expelled. The school couldn't tolerate bullying cases. Especially since multiple victims had come forward to testify.

Seungmin and you talked things out. Eventually you got back to your usual bubbly self that he knew in highschool. You knew he meant well. You just wished you had the guts to tell him about the bullying.

However the aftermath definitely made seungmin more cautious. He always sticking by your side. Whenever he had practice, he would force you to wait for him. He was worried if anything bad would happen again to you.

"Seungmin, I'll be fine! I swear!", you tried to walk away from him. He only blocked your only way out. "No. You're not leaving school without me. You know I mean well", he stood closer to you. You sighed. You cupped his face.

"Min. I know you mean well but that incident happened like 3 months ago. The school already blacklisted the girls from entering the university. You got to let it go", you gently caressed his cheeks.

Seungmin pouted. "Fine...just call me when you reach back your dorm". You smiled. "I will, now you sir, need to get back to your baseball training". You nudged his shoulder towards the door.

He dramatically rolled his eyes at you. He ruffled your hair. "Promise?" "Yeah yeah promise". You linked your pinkie with his. He smiled, being satisfied with your answer.

He walked out of the school building. He momentarily stopped walking, turning to look at you.

"Bye! Remember to call me!", He yelled.

You gestured to him to go which made him squint his eyes at you. You giggled at the sight as you watched his figure become smaller in the distance.

"What's up with you being all moody today", Jeongin spoke, opening his changing locker. Seungmin pouted while shrugging his shoulder. "Nothing~", he sighed. Jeongin let out a laugh as he watched seungmin eyed his phone.

"You are waiting for her to call you, right?". Jeongin patted seungmin's shoulder. Seungmin groaned, pushing away jeongin who was shirtless. "Put on your shirt bro. I don't need to see my friends shirtless". Jeongin laughed as he wore his baseball attire.

"You definitely like her— Oh look she's calling you". Seungmin immediately answered the call, making Jeongin laugh even more.

"Took you long enough"

"Sorry~ I was changing anyways, are you coming over later?"

"Obviously"

"Stop being so pissy"

"Hmm"

"I'll see you later min"

"See you. Bye"

"Jeez...bye bye, love ya"

"....love ya too"

___

Seungmin cheeks were heating up. A small smile made its way on his face. Luckily jeongin had left the changing room, leaving him alone. It was a normal thing that you two say back in highschool before parting ways but it felt so different when you're in university. At an age where most people would have a significant other.

"Maybe I do...still like her?...but does she?"

"What's up?", you rested your chin on his shoulder, looking at him.

He turned around, lips inches apart from each other. His eyes widened, immediately turning away. "Uh...nothing?". You rolled your eyes, wrapping your arms around his right arm. "Kim seungmin", you glared at him. He gulped, eyes trying to focus back at the screen, playing the latest k-drama.

He knew he had to talk it out with you. If he kept silent, it felt like he was going to explode. He paused the show before turning to look at you. "Don't get mad if I tell you". You nodded your head cheerfully with a huge smile on your face. He sighed.

"I like you", he shutted his eyes, waiting for your response. A few seconds passed without a word from you. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he felt you kissing his cheek. His eyes shot open. He was almost in disbelief.

"What?", you spoke nonchalantly. "You know I mean as a me having a crush on you, right???", Seungmin clarified. You nodded your head. Suddenly you pouted.

"What you don't believe I like you too?". He panicked momentarily. It made you laugh. "I'm serious min, I really like you too". It took him a couple minutes to digest the answer. When he did, he engulfed you in a hug.

"Oh my god, you scared the shit out of me". You chuckled as you hugged him back.

What a weird way to confess but he got you in the end.

The end.

the reputation of hisashi mitsui

A major theme that isn’t explicitly stated (yet very prevalent) in Slam Dunk is reputation and pressure, which is explored through the Shohoku team as a whole, but also through two of Shohoku’s starting five. I had already touched upon how the topic of image and reputation was explored through Sakuragi’s character and development, but I believe that it's a very important theme for Mitsui’s character as well.

Unlike Sakuragi (who had very little expectations or pressure from others), Mitsui is a boy whose reputation precedes him. He was nicknamed as ‘MVP’ by practically everyone (something that bugged him) after he had led his team to winning nationals in his third year of middle school. This nickname follows him around, even in his third year of highschool. I believe this shows how Mitsui was expected to always excel and do well in basketball, by practically everyone around him. He was a kid that had lots of potential even from a young age, but his talent in basketball also became something that screwed him over.

In Slam Dunk, it’s shown Mitsui isn’t very academically gifted, initially failing many of the subjects in his exam. After Akagi and Kogure left the team to focus on school, Mitsui still sticks with the team despite having college entrance exams. I think that suggests that Mitsui only really excelled at basketball, and this might have led to more pressure (from himself, and also the people around him). After all, if he didn’t have basketball, then what would be left? This extra pressure to excel likely added to how strenuous his knee injury was for him mentally, and also part of why he was so impatient about waiting to recover. And when he couldn’t make it in time for the preliminaries and the basketball team couldn’t make it far, I think he was really disappointed (and also felt excluded).

At this point, Mitsui’s reputation shifted. A change in appearance was used to depict this shift aesthetically, as he looked more intimidating and rough compared to his middle school years. He changed his mentality too, and his view of basketball became more of a hate towards it. He had also become more known as a thug than a basketball player. I think part of this was denial, but also because he was scared of going back; after all, he had an injury and I feel like he didn’t want to disappoint again. He had put a lot of pressure on himself to excel and carry Shohoku to victory, and I think he gave up on that goal.

When Mitsui came back to the team and played in the preliminaries, he was recognized by others as the former MVP. Again, unlike Sakuragi, he was expected to excel and do well, and he wasn’t underestimated. But at the same time, some players had also written him off as a guy who had already hit his peak. And to an extent this is true; Mitsui’s accolades and accomplishments were at their best in his middle school years. Mitsui understood this too, and it led to him losing confidence in himself, especially as a player. As he played in more and more games and was matched up against players that were practically the opposite type of player as him (something I will touch upon in another essay LMAO), he was being referred to by both coaches and players as streaky, and against Ryonan, he had ran out of stamina and collapsed. He showed his regret for his time off, and he blames himself for wasting so much time.

Mitsui’s current abilities were practically in the shadow of how dominant he had been before, but towards the end of the series he overcame his reputation.

Against Sannoh, Mitsui wasn’t underestimated at all, as they had known his former accolades and abilities. But he was guarded tightly, and it led to Mitsui quickly losing stamina. In this match he acknowledged that he had already reached his limit, and he even said that all he had were threes. But instead of giving up, he persisted and sank his threes.

I also want to mention how Mitsui referred to himself by saying “I’m Mitsui, someone who doesn’t know when to give up”. The point of Akagi being asked “What are you?” by Uozumi was so he’d stop comparing himself to someone else, but I think this question for Mitsui was needed to make him stop comparing himself to his past self. At this point, I believe Mitsui realized that he was a different person and player from around that time, and that he shouldn’t chase after his former accomplishments/abilities. In Mitsui’s statement, he doesn’t refer to how good he is or was or call himself an MVP, but simply Mitsui — a guy with a lot of persistence and determination for a sport that he loves. I think this moment signified how Mitsui rose above the shadow that was his past image and reputation and finally became “Mitsui” instead of “MVP Mitsui”.

I also want to add that Sakuragi and Mitsui respectively carrying their team in morale and points (Mitsui scored 25 points in the game, the second highest scorer overall after Sawakita’s 26) against Sannoh was needed for their character development. Sakuragi had gone from someone who didn’t have much going for him much expected of him, to an integral part of Shohoku that was relied on to change the momentum of the game. And Mitsui had changed from someone that had been thought of as a “has been” that had already reached his peak, to a guy that persevered and fulfilled his promise of carrying his team to victory.

Break-up Headcanons:

El Matador:

"Noo how could you do this to mee?!"

Gonna say this right off the bat wheter or not his s/o showed signs of wanting to split beforehand is irrelevant because he simply wouldn't notice, being his usual self the less savoury parts of the relationship are lost to him and he brushes any arguments under the rug before making sure the problems that led to them in the first place are properly solved.

It's not that he dosen't care or dosen't take his s/o seriously it's just that his ego won't let him belive that a relationship with him in it could ever have flaws, so expect some disbelif and attempts at brushing the whole ordeal away might even try to play it off as a joke, his inability to handle rejection really comes through.

The first few months of the break-up are quite painfull, he's the type to try to win them back with gifts and grand gestures before realising it's either useless or he's making himself look pathetic also because s/o is Nanny Garcia level importanat to him he never thought he'd lose them so he's unequiped to handle the loss.

The team will most likely suffer greatly as he sulks both on and off the pitch the other guys might have to drag him away from interwievs so he dosen't bad mouth s/o and his performance will most likely see a short-lived dip. He's also not the type to have good faith in his heart for his past s/o/s/os, he most definiatly has love for them but staying friends with them or getting back togeather at a later date is not in the cards.

Shakes:

"Oh well i understand."

Similar to El Matador he'll try to act surprised by the initial question he's more observant yes but Skarra's betrayal has and his dad's droppibg off the face of the earth left him doubting any and all relationship he has. He can't ever shake off the feeling that he's the fool, the one who loves too much so he tries his best to push down the constant nagging of his brain.

He's just paranoid they just had a bad day, they weren't scowling it was the lighting, they aren't acting cold or distant they won't leave him like Skarra (or Dad) they aren't like that. He can't just call Spenza Pİ into his relationship, it's rude to over-step (nevermind that he's done that before in diffrent circumsnatces he's just scared of the inevitable truth.).

S/o won't see any if thag fear though just a nod and that he hoped they can stay friends beyond this, he tries not to go cold turkey on the relationship but the check-ins and the how-you-doins dry up soon enough.

Tries his best to not let the team know (three whole people have left him what does that say about him?) but when they inevitably find out he just says he'll get through it he always does and get through it he does but not without needing some support from the guys and Spenza who most likely moves in after you leave.

Skarra:

"Funny one, really."

Straight up laughs, who'd be stupid enough to leave a guy like him? Soccer star top of his game, best player İ.U has seen in ages of course he's noticed the signs who do you think he is? He just thought you were better at controllibg your emotions he didn't think you were the type to make stupid little decisions like this.

Fucking terrified, he should've known this would happen again, he should've known better, should've kept s/o at an arms distance at all times (provided we're thinking of a scenario where he didn't which isnt very likely imo) he should've never let anyone close enough to hurt him again.

Will try to brush it off and when that dosen't work he'll blow up and start a fight, never forgets the fear and anger so any good memory that s/o might hold on to he burns in his memory (or literally watch s/o watch your back).

His game improves for a bit though which is good for İ.U albeit a bit bad for Dingaan and the rest of the S.L who get the nasty end of his sharp tounge and bad temper, will play more agresively and foul more often i can tottaly see a plotline of Vince sneaking s/o or somone who likes look them of the front rows of The Vice jus to get a more 'organic preformance'. Might try to spread nasty rumors about the s/o or any number or malicous attempts at revenge if s/o has a fav team other than İ.U will try and foul them more badly/often.

Ja Nein:

"...well that's, that."

Knew it was coming before you did, horribly good at observation and reading people the lip-biting and the exaparrated sighs aren't lost on him, he knows too much about how people work to not know what they mean and pried himself too much on his intelligence to ignore them so he'll approach the situation proffsinaly it might even be painfull to see how dry he is about it.

His confidence takes a great blow though, his insecuritys are fed quite well by this and it will most likely show in his game Von Pushup might sub him for a few games and pull some shit to make him 'man-up'.

The rest of İron Tank respect him enough to not meddle most of the time this might not be one of those times, he probably won't make any attempts at revenge himself (unless he does check your playlist s/o, is the back door locked? Do they have the funds to skil town for a while if need be??).

Will act comfortable around his ex-s/o if they're still in the same friend group but don't be surprised if they suddenly go a bit cold on them or start inviting them out less and less, he would try his best not to date in the team but if s/o is by chance an Iron Tanker than well that team can be petty as all hell.

Riano:

"Well than what are you doing here?"

The few days before the break-up are tense like cut it with a knife kind of tense, he knows it's coming and he isn't the type of guy to beg them to stay, he'd rather hold it agaisnt them that they haven't yet, he's quite immature about the whole thing.

Won't bad mouth his s/o to the public or his friends but it'll take a while for his disdain for them to subside i see him as the sort of gut to eventually get over the shame of being the stupid one of course no one could keep up with him that long what was he thinking?

Will always have a bit of hate for s/o though and will hold onto it without realizing might try to serial date afterwards to 'get the bad taste off his tounge' will have a tiny glimmer of love in his heart for them despite it will never show but it's important that it's there i guess.

Won't let it affect his game at all and won't let his team know he likes to keep private matters out of his work life (the team are painfully aware of the break-up but don't bring it up in, he once snapped and went for his corach and once the ref, s/o is banned from the stadium for life).

North Shaw:

"Tottaly cool dude, you up for tomorrow doe, right?"

Honsetly sort of saw it coming he's not the long term relationship sort of guy, his life is made up of high highs and short lived lows he dosen't like to sit in discomfort not even to like reflect on the situation or think things through unless he's forced to.

To him it's entierly expected and accepted, is woeufully unaware of the emotinaly turmoil that s/o might have gone thourgh, to him it's just an end to the relationship not to their friendship. Will still invite them to hang out ,even if it's just them, and keep them updated on his life expecting to be updated on theirs as well might even introduce you to his new 'bae' since their friends now.

İf s/o dosen't handle his way too cool approach to the situation and try to block him off or cut him out of their life than he might react badly, he'll think it's a mistake or a joke at first but when explained he'll just tell them that's silly so what if they didn't work out romantically they were having a blast before that, no need to throw that away dude!

The team will tottaly side with s/o on this one with a few expections unless they don't like them, if it's a nasty break-up than s/o and North will still stay on talking/jabbing insults at eachother terms who knows maybe they'll score Liquido with that but i wouldn't bet on a relationship built on that.

Dooma:

"Oh so you've just upped and fucking deci-"

Call a fucking ambulance, no no forget that arrange your own funureal it'd save him the trouble. In all serousness though yeah wheter or not he saw it coming he's not taking it well by principal he dosen't date people phisically weaker than him and i'd love to think that he wouldn't pick an actuall fight over it but he did shove a ref's whistle up his nose and ate a red card on natinaly televison.

Honsetly s/o's best bet is to have the convo and book it outta there hope they packed their belongins beforehand or he'll most likely burn them if you leave shampoo, perfume etc. At his place he'll most likely put bleach in it he isn't the type for detailed well thought out revenge but he'll do his best in small little gestures like the middle finger in the midst of a match for example.

After a while he'll be over it and if he's still in contact with s/o he'll talk about his 'little temper tantrum' like a fond little memory if s/o dosen't play along he'll just brush off their concern or valid criticsm with an air of superiority he handles break-ups well or you wouldn't be here would you.

The team will most likely call s/o and ask you to come sort things out with him as their the ones paying for your little 'lover's quarrel' his game will improve somewhat during this time but so will his tendency to batter up anyone on the pitch.

Rise's B¡Future v.s RUINs' B¡Future

(( An Explanation on What's Different ))

Spoilers: There is a bunch of reading... also trigger warning / cw: mentions of death, gambling, and some other stuff ig... ye... Read on to enjoy the info dump.

-- Character Run Through --

Leo || In the RUIN au, Leo was founded the position of leader after Rapheal died. He wasn't given any warning or heads up, Mikey told him. For a while Leo didn't know what to do and from that they lost a lot of survivors. After a while he took the role and his personality had a huge shift. Sometimes he could be calm and collected and other times he could easily lash out.

Donnie || Donnie was more known as the calmest one out of any of his brothers. He rarely went out into the field after Cassandra's death and stayed to take care of Casey Jr and Koine for the most part. He also helped out a lot inside the med bay and the technology side. Sometimes helping others train to be on the field. Though worry would catch up to him whenever someone he cared for came back beat up.

Mikey || After the big change with Raph and Cassandra's death, Mikey was a bit more like a sour lemon. He would isolate himself a lot and stop speaking after a while as well, though he was still known as the greatest mystic warrior. After a while, Mikey had become a mystery to people, until he disappeared forever.

Rapheal || Raph was a sweet and calm person, only if you didn't get on his bad side. No one would rarely try to get Raph mad, out of some unknown fear. After both Splinter and Cassandra died he didn't really have much to strive for, this led to Raph often being reckless and difficult to communicate with. After a few missions going horribly wrong, Raph had to be tagged along with someone so the group would stay safe.

April || April was protective and observant of most of the resistance, almost always watching over anyone new. More like Leo, April didn't want to have the title of commander but in a time of need April had to take the title. Besides her unwanted title commander, April was known for having an inside look to everyone. She was also a mysterious player inside the Bad Future as well.

Cassandra || Cassandra was known for her passion to destroy anyone who was against someone she cared for. Whether that meant physically hurting someone or verbally. She was quick on her feet and sneaky as well. Though she had morals with her streak of behavior. Cassandra was closest with Donnie and Rapheal, often found hanging around the two turtles. She was also considered a good luck charm for supply missions.

-------------------------------------

Splinter || The man was placed inside to stick with training newcomers, help some wounded people, and take care of children. Why he was placed to do that job was the basics of he was injured badly to be yeeted off the playing field. He would also help calm anyone with strong emotions and give some good wisdom.

Draxum || The head of the Medic Field. That was Draxum was known for to anyone who saw him inside the resistance. Leo had the chance to take it but chose not to due to his desire to always be on the field. If you were looking for Draxum, good luck. He would always be in the places you wouldn't think of. Draxum didn't go into the battlefield that much so he would wander around to find hidden areas inside the base (( a trait that was passed onto Koine ))

Casey Jones Jr. || More known as Cassandra Jones Jr. or Cassidy, Casey is about a year younger than Koine. He is an energetic soul and loves to make anything a game. Casey isn't stuck up but he does find more fun in stuff that has games placed in it. He developed his own mystic/ninpo which grew in time (( he can do some paranormal stuff )) Casey was raised souly by Donnie after Cassandra died and never looked towards anyone else as a parental figure.

Usagi Yuichi || A skilled katana ninja, aka rabbit yokai. Usagi was the lovely boyfriend of Leonardo, until Usagi died. Usagi was all round known as a person who could throw hands if he wanted to. He knew what he wanted and if he truly wanted to get it, he would. Usagi would hang out with the kids the most, training them in any free time he had. Though he was known to have more of an empathetic heart, which wasn't the best for the apocalypse.

========================

- What's Goin On --

+ Inside the apocalypse, the Kraang were practically more intelligent than needed and there weren't any technology resources around that were easy to find. Most of the tech was found by different groups or destroyed. Because of the lack of technology, the resistance group has to always be on the run and try to stay hidden the best they could. It would be about a weekly routine of running away from the Kraang.

+ Apart from living on the brink of panic, you had almost no free time. Which was understandable deeming that not only you had to run away and leave almost everything behind, but you had to gather new things if needed. There were constant chores, missions, or training needing to be done and all of it on a schedule. Training was easy to say the least, at least compared to missions they were. Missions were almost constantly going on, 24/7, all day.

+ Resources: The only thing common to find was canned foods, dried snacks, and seeds. Occasionally some REALLY GOOD food was found (( meats, veggies, etc. )) but it was mainly a canned food source. Like stated before: Tech was the hardest to stubble upon. This was the same as: note books, toys, pens, and furniture. Fabric could be found inside buildings or abandoned vehicles, and water was mostly found from a single river almost everyone knew about.

+ The Gambling Table: In the case of certain resources being hard to find, the resistance group would often gamble objects and sweetened foods with each other. The trades were fair enough to have the gambling streak become a whole tradition at one point.

=================================

-- Rules and Issues --

+ The resistance was small, it was around the population of a small village. In the RUINs' apocalypse there were many small groups; any large populated groups were quickly killed at the start. Sometimes there would be spies from other groups trying to join another group, to either throw the group off into danger or get information about good-resourced spots that their group didn't know about. After a while, this caused many people to have trust issues in anyone who wasn't originally a part of the group.

+ In any situation where the Kraang had found where the resistance was camping, everyone was on their own. If you didn't stick with the group, you were a goner in two seconds flat. Unless you were injured or a small kid, you were on your own until the situation was leveled down. No one was salty about it either, it was logical in their minds, mainly because they were trying to make it out alive and not dead, so....

=============================

-- The Ranking System--

+ The resistance had three main groups with a bunch of different rankings for each group. The three groups were: Medics, Fielders, and Spies. The medic group has three letter rankings: S, K, and I; along with a head leader. Fielder (( people who do constant missions and such )) have named rankings: Second + First Wings, Cover Feathers, Secondary Feathers, and Starter Feather along with two leaders. For the spy group, they have number rankings: 1-4 levels. Leveling up to another level is harder than it's thought out to be and it can take a long time.

============================

-- The Skull and Stripes Duo --

+ Casey Jr. and Koine, like stated in another post, were best friends but had more of a sibling relationship than anything. In technical terms: Casey and Koi were biological Uncle and Nephew (( but no one in the resistance thought of Koine like that )) On that note Casey and Koine were set to be in a sibling relationship. Being one year apart from each other, they quickly became chaotic and both equally as strong. Do NOT fight both of them in a battle... they know how to work together when they need to.

============================

-- The Death Logs --

< In order of first to die - last to die >

+ Cassandra: Died on a mission due to injuries

+ Splinter: Old Age

+ Draxum: Health Complications

+ Raph: Died from mistake in battle

+ Usagi: Died trying to recuse a person who fell behind during a Kraang Attack

+ Mikey: Possibly kidnapped? No one knows...

+ April: Bleed to Death

+ Leo: ???

+Donnie: ???

==============================

Hello! You've reached the end of the info dump! Congratulations, now hold tight because more content is sure to come!

Help wanted 2 spoilers!!

Okay I don't know if this has already been considered or not, but I have a theory of who the second candy cadet story is about

The two takes I've seen is either Vanessa or Cassie, which is absolutely fair and valid bc it does make sense! But I feel like there's problems with both interpretations

The story is basically, a young girl is tricked by a witch's friendly voice and barely escapes being eaten but is scarred for the rest of her life. Then when she grows up she seeks revenge, a young boy helps to guide her through the woods, and at the end we learn she was tricked again, and the witch finally has her meal

Here's my problems with both interpretations

Vanessa. Most of this works, I won't lie to you! I was willing to believe it up until "the oven door closed, the witch would finally have her meal." We do see Vanessa get possessed, or "scarred" for life, and we see her seek revenge, potentially accompanied by a young boy to some extent, however we don't get any clear indication that she fails this goal, as the only time we clearly see her is the princess quest 4 ending, where she's successful

Tldr, most of it fits, but I don't think the ending does

With Cassie, the second half of the story fits to a T! She's led by a young boy who's later revealed to have been a trick to lead her to the mimic, who, as the first half of the story says, she barely escapes from. However, the story clearly states a past encounter with the witch that left her scarred, and it's only after a significant amount of time, now with the "confidence of age and wisdom" that she comes back to get revenge. As far as we know, Cassie never encountered the mimic before ruin, and she's still a young child when she does encounter it. And considering we see her in the basic ending getting the mask the timeline doesn't match up either

Tldr, only pieces of the story fit, and important details such as her age definitely do not

SO, who do I think the story could be about

First thing to consider, the player character could potentially be who it's about, as the player can't be vanny since we see her as a separate entity, and I don't think it's cassie as the game seems to be set pre-ruin (in the real/non-AR world sun and moon are in a similar state Cassie found them in before turning them back into eclipse, for one). And then in the basic faz tron ending, the player is then attacked by, supposedly, glitchtrap/mimic controlling the nightmare bots, which could be the witch finally getting her meal, but, the player has no known correlation with the rest of the story right?

Well

Who says the characters in the story have to be a 1 to 1? The witch is certainly a different concept from mimic, so in theory the woman's gender doesn't have to be relevent, and that opens up more options

So my thought process here was, is there any other character who we know for sure has gotten "scarred" by glitchtrap/mimic in the past, and we can reasonably assume to still be alive/likely to come back?

Help wanted Jeremy.

From what we understand he was the first known character to interact with glitchtrap, and it ended with the paper slicer incident, that sure as hell will leave a scar. And I'm not sure we know how many years its been between both help wanted games, but I feel it's safe to assume it's been enough time for him to have grown a bit, even if more so mentally than physically, and want to put an end to glitchtrap. And then let's say he's the player character, and the basic ending is the witch getting her meal.

(I'll be honest, I don't know how the young boy would play into this interpretation, so, this is by no means a perfect solution)

But also, there's the evidence that the player is Cassie's dad

Carnie saying "You look like you got kids, win a prize for the little one!" Freddy saying "you are a fazbear technician, are you not?" Which I get is played off as a joke but considering mystic Hippo says "the key is familiar to you" in refrence to the faz wrench, I feel like there's merit to it, plus the fact that the player has a vanni mask, which is a fazbear technician thing.

But the biggest thing, to me, is the secret Bonnie mask, which appears with the text "this feels familiar" and it gives you an achievement titled "remember Jeremy"

Cassie's dad's favorite is said to be Bonnie, and "remember Jeremy" is pretty straightforward I'd say.

So, anyway, I don't have a coherent conclusion to this, I've never written out a theory before so take it easy on me lol, but I had an epiphany in the shower today and needed to share it! I don't have anyone to bounce ideas off of as of right now so if anyone has any additional ideas or counter points (respectfully!) I'd love hear it! :)

❤️warning(s) one (1) mention of bullying (as a joke), i overused a bunch of words ngl, please let me know if i missed anything❤️

❤️synopsis hey everyone and welcome back to RVV, a relationship and friendship channel where we interview real friends and couples to get an insight about how they made it all work! this episode is featured by the newest couple on the scene (but most certainly not with each other) Jake Sim and Y/N L/N as they talk about their relationship and take us down memory lane.❤️

❤️notes from reina hey y’all! i decided to write a fic based on my most recent delusional scenario. i am a huge basketball fan (which is why jake’s a basketball player since he’s filling in for the person i had the scenario about lol) and i have a very vivid imagination so i thought, why not make a one-shot about it? enhypen is not a group in this au, but they are still friends with niki and heeseung also being in the nba, jay, sunghoon and sunoo being media journalists, and jungwon being head coach to heeseung’s basketball team. niki and jake are on the same team, but heeseung is on a different team. anyways let’s get into it! ❤️

the lights in the studio turn on simultaneously, casting a warm tone on the set up. space gray walls, two beige wing chairs on top of a patterned rug, with a mahogany coffee table between them. in bold, LED lighting are the letters RVV. it switches on a lovely shade of pink, and the lights of the studio turn the same color. two people walk to a different wing chair and settle in, one fixing their jacket as they sit, and the other one smoothing down their hair. the guy smiles widely at the camera, and the girl gives a small, shy wave. then, the interview begins.

Q: Introduce Yourselves.

“hi, my name is jake sim, and i play as the shooting guard for the los angeles lakers.” the brunet says with a smile, hand raised as a greeting to the camera for the people who’ll be watching.

“and i’m y/n l/n, songwriter and producer.” she says afterwards, shifting in her seat a little bit since she’s starting to feel a little awkward.

Q: How long have you two known each other?

“five years.” they answer simultaneously, giggling a bit once they realize.

“i met him on vacation. he asked me to take a picture for him, but he was so awkward with his poses. it was embarrassing.” y/n starts to explain, body turning to look at jake as her hands immediately start to move as she speaks.

“i didn’t think you’d say yes? asking someone to take a picture of you is more nerve wracking than people say it is.” jake defends, hand on his chest as he explains his case.

“it sure is. well, that and you’re a super awkward kid.” y/n replies.

“you’re younger than me.” jake retorts.

“logistics.” y/n rebuttals.

Q: When did you two start dating?

“two and a half years.” they answer, again laughing at their synchronization.

“i still question why i agree sometimes, you know?” y/n jokingly says.

“ditto.” jake follows up.

“what? saying you don’t like me anymore?” y/n asks, feigning hurt.

“didn’t you just -, never mind.” jake shakes his head as he gives up early.

Q: Who asked who?

“i did.” jake answers, looking at y/n to see her looking away.

“he carried me to an arcade and asked me out while we were playing air hockey to distract me so he could win.” y/n supplies.

“i didn’t ask you to distract you. i wanted to ask you all night, but didn’t know how, so i just asked.” the brunet responds, looking at the camera to show sincerity.

“but the minute i was about to beat you in air hockey? like bro, pick a better time for that.” y/n argues.

“not my fault you couldn’t multitask,” jake shrugs as he rebuttals.

“you literally asked me to be your girlfriend?!” y/n incredulously asks.

“i said what i said.” jake retorts.

Q: What’s your trope?

“trope?” jake questions, confused.

“what dynamic are we, like a book/fanfiction genre pairing thing.” y/n supplies.

“oh! strangers to friends to lovers. i don’t think i ever heard you guys ask a question like this in your interview-”

Q: How do you guys juggle your relationship with your careers?

“communication.” y/n answers.

“we talk to each other a lot, we update each other with our schedules and such, and we tell each other how we’d like to spend our days off. i go to his games a lot, so i barely have any problem with seeing him, but when it’s time for me to work on music for deadlines and stuff, i rarely get to see him. we also facetime a LOT.” she continues, her hand reaching over the wing chair, intertwined with jake’s as he saw it, and wanted to hold it.

“understanding each other as well. y/n travels a lot depending on who she works with and what she has to work on, so understanding that our schedules are both hectic and trying to work with it instead of against it helps a lot.” jake inserts, swinging y/n’s arm a bit between them, just because.

Q: Fondest memory?

“the amusement park.” they answer concurrently, shocking each other with their answer.

“i honestly thought yours would be the hotel in bora bora.” y/n states.

“just because i rave about the food a lot, doesn’t mean that it was the fondest memory, y/n.” jake follows up.

“well, why was the amusement park memory fond for you?” y/n asks.

“it was the first place i told i love you.” jake answers, looking over at her to see that she was already looking back at him.

the two of them stare at each other for a few seconds before y/n looks away with a smile on her face. jake smirks, and the producers start to squeal in excitement.

“you won that one.” y/n softly says, and softly pushes jake’s face away when she turns back to see him smirking.

jake looks at the camera and shakes his head.

“she acted just like this when i told her back then. looking away, pushing me away from her. she even had to sit down because apparently her legs started to give out.” jake tells the staff, who all oooo’d in reaction.

“don’t expose me.” she pleads, pushing his face away again.

Q: Have you met any friends or family?

“I know his entire team, and all of his close friends. riki continuously messages me whenever any of us are away. I get too many derp photos from him.” y/n responds.

“who even uses the word derp anymore?” jake jokingly questions.

“me, get used to it.” y/n retorts.

“i have met her siblings though. they all came to one of my games recently. it was funny to see because her brother startled her while she was booing heeseung while he was taking a free throw.” jake says.

“don’t bully ethan or i’ll boo your boyfriend for the rest of the game. like boy, you’re literally in the los angeles, be a hater at home.” y/n sassily supplies.

“she also met my family when we were just friends, so they know her and they love her.” jake follows up.

Q: Any future plans?

“secret!” they both excitedly respond, grinning mischievously as they look at the camera.

Q: Last question, any words of advice for people who are dating a busy partner?

“all relationships are different despite people trying to categorize everything. if you aren’t a busy person, but most of your partner’s time is taken up by either work or school, then try to talk to them about your schedules, and be mindful about the fact that their schedule is hectic. don’t work against a schedule, work with one. work around one, work alongside one. you can also use extra time to work stuff out with yourself. pick up a skill, master your favorite hobby, all that jazz.” y/n informs.

“we send each other our schedules, and after analyzing it, we find common free times and discuss whether or not we wanna spend them together or apart. contrary to popular belief, y/n is actually much busier than i am. i usually have between june and august off - depending on the postseason - but y/n’s schedule fluctuates according to what project she picks up. we discuss that, and then we plan with it.” jake also informs.

“but like y/n said, all relationships are different. what works for us, may not work for others. the best advice is to study yourself and study your partner. if you really want to be with them despite the hectic schedule, then you work with them. if you want to be with someone with a less busy schedule, then you date someone who can accommodate that. it’s that simple.” jake continues, hand reaching over to hold y/n’s own once more.

RVV: Ending Ment

“thank you guys for clicking on this video and watching it to learn more about our relationship.” y/n starts, clasping her hands together as she talks.

“if you enjoyed this video, make sure to leave a like, comment on the video, and share it to help with the algorithm.” jake continues, hands going on his knees as he looks at the camera.

“if you want to watch more videos like this one, make sure to subscribe to RVV, and turn on the post notifications by clicking the bell icon and choosing ‘ALL’.” y/n concludes.

“i’m jake sim.”

“and i’m y/n l/n.”

“and this has been the relationship interview with RVV.” they finish.

the guy gets up first and straightens his jacket, before turning around and offering his hand to his girlfriend. she laughs at his antics, but she grabs his hand, and lets him help her out of the chair. they both walk away from the camera hand in hand, and the RVV lettering behind them turns off, signifying the end of the interview.

RVV Bonus

Q: Who takes longer to get ready?

“jake.” y/n answers immediately, which causes jake to gasp in surprise at the sudden accusation.

“i do not take longer to get ready.” jake defensively replies.

“you had a game for 7pm, if it wasn’t for the fact that you had to get there earlier to get some shots up, you would’ve been late to your own game.” y/n retorts.

“hey, the question is referring to who takes longer between the two of us, not in general.”

“so you admit that you take long in general?”

“i do not admit that i take long to get ready in general, and i will stand by my claims.” jake emphasizes, arms folded to assert his defiance.

“where’s my phone? let me call riki, and ask him what he thinks of this question.”

🩷ending ment from reina: welp, here's the end of this fic, hope you guys enjoyed this because this was fun to write. no over explaining , no extra description. just you, jake and a studio. i also want to do a "who knows who" kinda thing because those are fun too. thank you for reading! bye!🩷

OVERWATCH character playlist please maybe and characters of your choosing😊😊😊 or just artists you’d think they’d listen too

I adore this thank you suspicious anon i would never know:33

"What would they listen to?"

Characters included ; Lucio, Widowmaker, Mercy, Illari

Warnings ; None!

Side note ; Not much is known about Illari's personality so I will make her how I personally see her (I love her character) (I can't believe there's no yellow text)

Starting with, Lucio

♫ - I fully believe this man, although he's a dj, he'd be into jazz. Late nights at work, to soothe his heart he'd probably play a specific jazz playlist for that night. Expect some Billy Holiday (who doesn't love Billy Holiday) Chet Baker, Julie London type of people, just the classics of course!

♫ - Along with the jazz, he'd definitely incorporate it into some of his songs, like adding a smooth sax undertone, something only a few people can point out. Like an easter egg hunt LOL

♫ - Lucio is known for being a DJ right? But what type of music would he sing in the shower? Laufey. To them, Laufey is a classic as well since, y'know they're in the future and all. It goes along with his niche jazz taste but it's also a bit more vocal. Another artist I think he'd love to sing in the shower would probably be Bad Bunny, now c'mon this guy is literally from South America. How could he NOT know Bad Bunny? His favorite song would probably be one that features Cardi B. It never fails to make him feel like a baddie 💋

♫ - As a DJ, he must know electronix music right. As an electronic music lover myself, y'know I gotta Headcanon some artists for him. He'd love love LOVE Daft Punk, no doubt. Aphex Twin is someone he looks up to in terms of mixing but he likes some of their tracks nonetheless.

Widowmaker

♫ - Before her husband died and Moira crushed her soul, I like to believe she was a very guarded woman even before everything. In private though ? She was a romantic.

♫ - In front of her friends and peers, I really like to believe she listened to soft rock. Artists like Pink Floyd, Daryl Hall and the Oats. She always felt the appeal of English music. As for French though? I feel like she'd listen to aupinard, La Femme, etc.

♫ - With her husband, she liked to, no, she felt free with him and she could embrace being in touch with her emotions. This led to weekly dance nights, where in the silence of the moon, they just held each other close, swaying side to side. In the background, older french songs would play faintly. Such as, "La Femme," By Fred de Fred and Marion Benoist.

♫ - After Moira captured her and molded her into a monster? You wouldn't catch her reaching for headphones, the night her husband died she threw away the countless vinyls they collected together, she threw away the record player, her phone, everything.

♫ - She vowed never to listen to that song again. But.. as time passed and slowly, slowly she began to feel. A spark of something heavy in her chest, it was benign to her. She kept it secret but the hate in her chest, the love she forgot to grieve was adamant in making itself known. Widow hated it, hated it so much she demanded Moira to study her again. Which led to her spirit dying again. But a fragment remained, a stubborn piece of memory that wouldn't dislodge itself. Moira took note but she didn't care much for it, figuring it would be something unimportant.

♫ - Widow remembered her husband's voice, calmly singing to her while she had her head buried on his shoulder. They were dancing, it was dark and just barely.. she could hear the faint scratch of the record and the notes it played.

Mercy

♫ - We all know Angela is a very happy person, or that's what it seems. In her playlist, a lot of pop songs would be displayed. Like Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepson, above all, Megan Trainor. I fully think that Mercy would love Megan Trainor!! Her favorite song would be "Dear Future Husband," (WINKS AT GENJI)

♫ - On the down low though... I think she'd listen to Nicki Minaj. Deadass, she'd listen to her, try and rap the lyrics then stumble all over it. Her favorite Alter Ego would probably be Roman Zovanski. She just thinks she's really funny.

♫ - In terms of German music, she'd definitely be singing loud and proud with Reinhardt.

♫ - As a teen, she would ONLY listen to Tokio Hotel. Sorry not sorry.

♫ - Junge by Haller. That's it, that's the music she'd listen to.

♫ - From being influenced by Genji, Angela would definitely start to get into city pop, artists like No Buses, Miharu Koshi and Meaningful Stone.

Last but not least, Illari

♫ - Ok. Do NOT even try me on this. She's a total Kali Uchis fan. IDC. Don't even try to argue with me. Her favorite song would definitely be Hasta Cuando

♫ - I feel like she wouldn't really like Bad Bunny because of how vulgar he is, (She's biased towards women) But would be ok with female artists being vulgar because they're "taking back the power" (she's a #girlkisser)

♫ - I think she prides herself in having an expansive music taste, meaning she'd listen to old metal, then Lamp (Japanese indie band) then Kali Uchis. In terms of Metal, I think she'd like Metallica the most. That or Guns n Roses.

♫ - I don't know if this is canon but in my heart, Kiri and her are literally best friends. With that being said, they exchange songs daily. Oftentimes, Illari is only sharing Kali Uchis songs and Kiri is like

"Bro, is Kali uchis the only thing you listen to??"

"No. I listen to metal, city pop, rap, rnb, jazz.." The list goes on for like 5 pages.

Kiri doesn't ask her again.

♫ - Illari is the type of person to have a 100 hour long playlist. That's all. Every playlist of hers is a MINIMUM of 100 hours.

That took longer then I thought, anyways, thanks for reading and anon thanks for asking :3 Reqs are still open! Taglist still open!

Note

literally ive been obsessed with Regulus Black since i was like, fourteen years old, and ive always felt so bad about him and everything we know. because also i saw him as a figure head for Voldemort to gather. i mean, he was the heir of an ancient household (and the only heir after Sirius ran away) so i always had Opinions about him as a character.

God god okay alright

This is going to now be All Headcanon because, again, we get Very Little from canon itself, but it's also going to veer into like... Starless Skies lore, so I'll put it under a cut.

Because yeah. The thing that makes the most sense for Regulus being given the Mark at sixteen is that with him, with his very physical and evident joining of Voldemort's cause, he brought with him the loyalty of his family, and to an extent led by example, encouraging other Purebloods his age to do the same.

The Blacks are a part of the Sacred 28, which is already a big thing; but they're also blood relatives to half the other Sacred 28 families. Regulus' maternal grandmother was a Crabb. His aunt, Narcissa's mother, is a Rosier. They're related to the Potters, and the Prewetts, and by the time the first war with Voldemort is happening, two of his first cousins are married into other prominent pureblood families, the Lestranges and the Malfoys.

It is borderline ridiculous how connected Regulus is to the rest of Pureblood wizarding society. And the ones he isn't related to, he shares a school house with; a school in which he's part of the Slug Club, well known to produce witches and wizards of note, which Voldemort himself was a part of, and he's also on the Slytherin quidditch team. The team photo Slughorn has implies that at least once, Slytherin probably did very well in the Cup, so he was probably at least reasonably talented; and we all know how much everyone values talented quidditch players in Hogwarts.

We don't know if he was popular, or particularly social. The way he died implies he may not have been, between his close relationship with his House Elf and the fact he never went to anyone for help. But at a bare minimum we can infer that he was looked up to.

And Regulus is a symbolic leader for the other Pureblood kids in a way that Sirius isn't.

Until he's sixteen, it's Sirius who is the Black Heir, and you could be forgiven for thinking Pureblooded kids would flock to follow in his footsteps; and in some cases, especially for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students, I think it's probably likely that happened. Sirius may have started out a bully, but he was also popular, the same as James.

But personally, I don't think he ever held the same value to Dumbledore that Regulus did to Voldemort; both because Albus Dumbledore never had much use for people he couldn't fully control, and because unlike Regulus, Sirius flouts everything to do with his traditional Pureblood family.

It's suggested he openly goes against all of it even before he ever runs away - in the books he talks about being constantly reminded that Regulus was a 'better son', and it's a short enough jump from that to conclude that Regulus was probably mostly a more obedient son; kept his mouth shut, did as he was told, walked the line of a perfect Pureblood child, because it kept him safe in the home ruled by his mother and the school House filled with other Purebloods who would have already been wary of his ties to his blood traitor brother - and in a house like Slytherin, where you're cunning and careful and survival often means knowing when bravery is stupid, there would be no respect for that.

Sirius joining the Order, even if he'd still been the Black Heir at the time, would never have brought with it an influx of traditional pureblooded sympathisers. He's set himself too much up as the antithesis of everything they believe in.

Regulus joining the Death Eaters would have every hesitant Pureblooded teenager in Slytherin leaning in the same direction; because here is the epitome of everything a Pureblood is supposed to be, clever and ambitious and loyal to his house and his traditions, and if he thinks joining Voldemort is the right thing to do, it must be, right?

(To veer into the Starless Skies lore as promised: Regulus joining the Order wouldn't bring the kids that respect him over either. The problem with the Order, and with Dumbledore especially, is that they've committed themselves so firmly to being the opposite of everything Voldemort is and represents that it means they stand in direct opposition to even the most innocent parts of being a traditional Pureblood.

In Starless Skies so far, Regulus has told both Sirius and James that they need to put an end to the Gryffindor prejudice against Slytherins; because all it's doing is creating year after year of disillusioned, defensive children, who are being told that if they choose the side of their parents and peers, they're monsters; but that's the side that treats them kindly, that promises they want what's best for them, while the other side is full of people who have been looking down their noses at them from the moment they were sorted.

Regulus tells James at one point that 'no one can know anything until they're told'; and while it's not entirely that simple all of the time, there's enough truth in it here. No one tells the kids in Slytherin that they have another option. Not in the first war, not in the second; because Draco Malfoy doesn't take the Dark Mark because he has a choice. He takes it because his father is in prison, and there's a genocidal maniac living in his house, and how the hell is he supposed to survive or keep his mother safe unless he proves himself as invaluable to the maniac in question?

In the Astronomy Tower Dumbledore talks about 'knowing a boy who made all the wrong choices'; but there are no choices for the kids in Slytherin. There's their family, and their friends, and there's the people who openly hate and suspect them all because an old hat decided they were cunning, or ambitious. That's not a choice. Not when you're sixteen.)

So when Regulus takes the Dark Mark, he's reconfirming what they already knew; this isn't just the best option, it's the only one. And if Voldemort is willing to welcome the teenage Heir to one of the most important Pureblood families in Britain into his inner circle, well. He must really value them after all. Right?

D&D Character: Ivelian

Just felt like putting together a little thing for the characters I’m currently playing in a homebrew campaign. This is my secondary character.

Homebrew element of note: His domain is a fey themed homebrew domain I can’t go any further into along with his deity.

Aside Note: The DMs preference in play-style is that PCs are “people of extraordinary talent” so players are allowed to either be a jack-of-all-trades type (average or above average in all stats but nothing 18 or higher) or a master-of-one type (allowing one stat to be 18-20 at the sacrifice of another stat)

Appearance: With dark brown hair that just barely brushes the tops of his shoulders and hazel eyes that only show their streaks of gold/green under direct light, Ivelian looks a bit below average for an elf. He’s not ugly to non elvish folk but he’s no ethereal beauty either. Cover up his ears and he could convincingly pass as a good looking human, his angular Elven features subtle enough to be mistaken as something else. Even undisguised it’s not uncommon that he’s mistaken as a half elf rather then the full blooded elf he actually is. He admittedly uses this to his advantage in areas elves are less known or, more commonly, to hide his race completely around other Elves as he feels uncomfortable around other members of his own race.

He’s thin on the cusp of being skinny, with a bit of a lingering lanky look of adolescence, but with enough muscle to suggest he’s used to working labor jobs. He’s often dirty but in a well traveled way and not sheer neglect. He smells like fresh dirt suggesting he doesn’t use any scented means of cleansing. He’s used to running into or falling from things and minor scrapes and bruises are common place.

Backstory: Born to a clan of wood elves one always expects one to be full of grace and ability...but Ivelian seemed cursed from birth. So clumsy his family was forced to leave their tree based house for fear the child would kill himself, so incapable was he to balance within the branches. Only becoming worse as he grew he became the embarrassment not only of his family but his entire clan.

His peers would jeer and insult him giving him hurtful nicknames and even going so far as to insinuate that he would have been better born to Orcs then among Elves. Training with bows he was so likely to injure himself or his peers he was forbidden from ever even touching one.

Ivelians clan was particularly xenophobic and lived in extreme isolation from all of the outside world to the point leaving was strictly forbidden, and any outsiders would be lucky to ever leave again. Desperate to escape his life which was spent often in ridicule Ivelian was determined to escape though he knew nothing of the outside world. Many failed attempts eventually led Ivelian to discover his deity who led him to his freedom. He left without a backwards glance and little more then the clothes on his back.

Personality: Ivelian is selfless and kind to a fault. Having grown up so isolated from the world he has no preconceived notions towards other races or cultures and his first instinct is to try and make friends...with...anything he comes across. If someone, or something, seems receptive to his offer of friendship he will always be more then happy to oblige. He absolutely hates violence and will avoid conflict whenever possible.

Special Notes: Ivelian’s low dexterity makes him extremely clumsy. As a result he has an intense fear of heights, having fallen from the branches of trees and swaying rope bridges so many times in his youth at home. Any action that requires careful movement or balance makes him very anxious.

Despite being an elf Ivelian has no bow proficiency.

He is uncomfortable when around other elves, assuming he is being judged in comparison and always assuming he is going to be judged unworthy. He finds it far more comfortable to simply hide his Elven heritage completely and pretend to be human when around strangers.

Ivelian has a companion in the form of a Tiny Awakened Construct which takes the appearance of a small floating blown glass sphere containing a Light spell.
