Sukuna X Fem!reader lemon

Synopsis - You live in a house with Megumi, Nobara and Yuji Itadori/Sukuna. You understand Yuji and Sukuna do switch out while having the same body, and it is no big deal. Yuji is pretty fun to be around and you enjoy his energy. Whenever Sukuna is out, he always gets a little handy. This is a college au but everyone can still use their cursed arts.

NSFW Warning: 18+, some holding down stuff, overstimulation, dominant!sukuna, teasing, smut, vaginal stuff, edging, some butt stuff? Very little though.

Note: uhh, this is my first time writing stuff like this XD so bear with me!

Words: 3.2K

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

It was a long day for you. College studies and work. The skies were dark by the time you got home and you were ready to relax.

You noticed Yuji come out of his room, looking sleepy.

“Oh, [your name] you’re home! Whats up??” He bounced over to you.

“Hey Itadori, well...pretty freaking beat but I’m alright.” You take your jacket off and hang it on a hook. Then, you made your way to a couch and plopped down on it.

“Worked ya’ hard today, huh?” He entered the kitchen that was nearby, opening the fridge to search for a good snack.

You nodded. Your job wasn’t necessarily a difficult one, but a busy one. You worked at a local coffee shop near the college you attended. Because it was on campus, it was always full of students and teachers alike.

“I’ll probably take a shower soon and then head to bed for the night..” You checked your phone for a bit, searching through messages and notifications.

Yuji made a muffled sound as he was munching on some melon bread he found in the fridge.

“Shounds good! (sounds good)” He finished eating the bread quickly before continuing.

You put your phone away and stared at him intently. “No peeking this time!”

He got flustered and looked away pouting, “Was not even my fault!! Booo....”

You wagged a finger at him and stood up from the couch. He was cute when he pouted. You giggled and then headed towards the bathroom door, opening and closing it behind you. You made sure to lock the door.

Definitely don’t need any surprises tonight.

You started undressing from your work uniform. You pulled your pants down along with your panties. Then unbuttoned your shirt and slid it off to reveal your blouse and bra underneath.

The cold air felt nice on your warm skin. You finished undressing and set the clothes aside to a corner of the bathroom. You then turned on the shower and made sure it was set to a warm setting.

After a moment, you stepped into the shower and slid the shower door closed. The water hits your skin like a breath of fresh air. You sat under the water for a moment and then took some body wash to scrub your skin down.

You washed your arms and chest first. Your breasts weren’t too big of an issue, but sometimes it made your upper back hurt. You moved to your stomach and sides, humming along to a popular song that was stuck in your head.

The doorknob jiggled from the outside, though you did not hear it at first. You continued to wash your legs and hips, your body relaxing. It jiggled again and you stopped to look towards the door through the tinted glass.

“Don’t even think about it!” You called out, worried that Yuji was attempting to get into the bathroom. You knew Yuji was kind of a perv, but you also thought he was adorable at the same time. Maybe you had a slight crush on him..but now’s not the time to be thinking about this!

That other part of him was a force to be reckoned with. You know he’s a curse who is technically Yuji too. But...he’s also different.

He’s not afraid to be forward and blunt. He’s made nasty comments about your “innocent” body here and there. Although they were uncalled for remarks, you could not lie about how it made you feel.

Was it because he was a thousand year old demon? A deity that can take you down. You bit your lip a little.

“Oh! Snap out of it…!” You told yourself and patted your cheeks, flustered. Sukuna was also technically Yuji.

Yuji and you were pretty good friends too...

The doorknob did not jiggle again and the only noise came from the shower.

You were not sure about what the noise was. Maybe it was your imagination playing tricks?

You sighed, too tired for this shit. You continued to wash your face and hair. It was quiet for a time being.

“You think you can lock yourself away? Naughty girl.” The sultry sound of someone's voice whispered in your ear from behind.

You whipped your body around but no one was in the shower with you. Confused, you covered your body up with your arms.

“Y-You better not be in here!!” You growled through your teeth. You heard a deep, lavish chuckle from inside the bathroom.

“But, I am displeased at this moment. Do continue cleaning that dedicant body of yours.” His voice was velvety and rich with pleasure.

You blushed and put your hand on the door handle to keep it closed.

“H-how did you even get in here??” You stuttered out, covering your chest with a free arm.

The voice laughed and sucked his teeth before replying.

“Were you thinking of me? You’re so flustered. Also, I am not a feeble human like you are. I have my ways” He put his hand on the shower door, and you could see the shadow of his body.

The shower door flung open and there stood what looked like Yuji standing outside the shower. His pink hair was pushed back, thick tattoos lined his face and his eyes were crimson red.

You squeaked and covered yourself, embarrassed.

“Now, [your name] there is no need to be modest.” Sukuna entered the shower with you after taking off his shirt. He left his shorts on for the time being.

You backed up into a far corner of the shower, intensely blushing. Perhaps you have thought about moments like this one before.

But you never thought it would come into fruition like this!

You could hear your heart pounding in your ears as Sukuna came closer to you. His eyes scanned over your wet, naked body. It felt as if he was looking straight through you. Feeling you up without doing so.

Your body stood frozen by the corner. You wanted to push him out and yell at him, but you felt hypnotized. Your eyes didn’t meet his.

“G-get out! I-i’m…!” Before you could reply, he reached out to grab your chin to force you to look at him.

“Poor little lamb. Cowering in the corner...Look at me. I know your body yearns.” His lips pull into a grin.

You were kind of turned on by this..shit. You thought to yourself. You’re playing into him...but you can’t stop.

You try to move away from his grasp. Sukuna let go of your chin, only to grab your wrists and pin them above your head.

You were now fully exposed to the King of Curses. You squeaked when you realized your body was up for grabs.

“Let go! you!...Ah!” You tried to yell at him, but his free hand started fondling your body.

“Many nights, I wanted to do this. In the bed, in the living room...but this prison of a brat traps me. It’s so disappointing…”

You bit your lip so nothing would escape. “W-why not go for Nobara or something??” You look at his eyes this time, as they gazed upon your own.

“Her? That crazy bitch? Don’t make me laugh.” His grip tightened your wrists. With a smirk, he pinched one of your wet nipples which made you gasp.

“That’s what I like to hear instead. Come on, louder.” He pinched harder which made your body

You flinch away from his touch.

You were stubborn. This demon looking guy was the King of Curses who could easily take you down.

In more ways than one.

You just glared into his eyes, and ceased all noise. This made him impatient. Maybe that was not a good move on your end.

“Oho~? Gonna be tough for me, girlie? Two can play at this game. I will get what I want.” His voice sounded rough and lavish, which sent chills up your spine.

He let go of your wrists, but somehow they were still in place. You were confused by this and attempted to move them forwards. Nothing was budging.

They were being held by his second pair of arms.

“Sukuna! Agh, let me gooo!” You whined, wiggling in the corner. He watched your breasts move about, his gaze moving towards your hips.

The stream of water was still running, drenching your hair. Sukuna’s shorts were getting wet and you swore you could start seeing an outline of something...big.

He moved to press his lips against your soft skin, starting at your stomach and going lower...and lower….

You could squeeze your legs shut, but it was no use. His large hand was pressed into your thigh, keeping it firmly in place.

The next thing you knew, his soft tongue was pressing into your womanhood. Your body shivered and you let a small whine out of your mouth.

“Ahhh, you’re already drenched. Dirty girl. You’re in luck..I’m hungry.” He said the last part with an evil chuckle and continued to drag his rough tongue up and down your folds.

This was a new feeling to you. Of course you’ve had sensual activities before, but nothing like this.

Your hips move by themselves against his tongue. Damn, this felt good, you thought to yourself.

There was no hesitation in his movements. He grabbed your ass tight too which made you moan out.

“Stay put, girlie! Damn!” He slapped your ass which made you squeak from that too. You whined and tried to keep your hips still. “Ugh, let me do what I want” He shot a glare up at me with his red eyes.

You met his gaze with your own glazed eyes.

He kept lapping at your womanhood and started focusing on that little button of yours. This made your back arch against the back of the shower. You shook your head from how sensitive it was.

This only made Sukuna want more of you.

He began to suck on it harshly without a break. You gasped and whined against the shocks that boiled up in your stomach.

“S-sukuna..~” You moaned out unconsciously. He smirked and then pulled his face away from your womanhood.

“What is it, you little slut? Want more? You’re going to have to beg.” He dug his nails into your thighs and dragged them.

Why is he so good at this?! You thought to yourself, your body shuddering.

“N-no…! I-I don’t…” You looked away from him and bit your lip. This was not the answer he was looking for from you. He frowned and slapped your ass, putting his hand right in the middle, lifting one of your cheeks. You squeaked from the sudden slap.

You felt something wet and thick enter your behind, teasing the other hole.

You audibly gasped and wiggled from the feeling. What was this?!

Sukuna had two arms holding your wrists up, one on your behind and another holding your leg up. He moved closer to your face with an evil smirk.

His hand had opened a mouth and extended a tongue between your cheeks.

“...I said, beg for it, slut.” His tongue on his hand didn’t go deep, just enough to drive you crazy. It kept gliding past this second hole and your entrance ever so gently.

Your hips attempted to follow the lapping tongue’s movements but it was just close enough to every sensitive bit down there to irritate you. You moved your hips around and whined at the roughness of the tongue.

“P..please…” You panted out, your body quivering.

“Please...what?” He pulled his hand away from your behind and the mouth disappeared on it. He grabbed your face with it.

“Please s-sir....b-but..out of the shower?” You wanted more. The shower water was increasingly annoying.

Sukuna rolled his eyes and picked you up in his arms abruptly. You had no time to react. He booked it to your bedroom and slammed you down on the bed angrily.

“You’re fucking lucky no one else is here right now..” He growled and pushed your knees up to your chest to continue his meal.

“What-! Ahh~...” You whined out, feeling his warm mouth back onto your folds. His grip was so strong that you could barely move. Everything was tingling and sensitive.

He then slid two fingers inside of your entrance, moving them violently in and out of you. You practically screamed at the sudden movements inside your walls.

“Yeah? I want to hear more, (Your name).” His long fingers hit every inch of your insides, and it felt so good. Your womanhood was quivering and you felt like you were getting close.

“S-sukuna...I-i’m going t-to-” You could barely speak but those were the words that were stuttering out. He smirked again and took his fingers out.

Your body was trembling with anticipation, waiting for a release. You were just about to come when he stopped. You pouted and looked at Sukuna, wondering what his plan was.

“You are not allowed to have all the fun. My turn. Flip over.” He barked at you. You flipped your body over onto your knees, looking up at him.

He dropped his shorts and stood menacingly in front of you; his gaze was intimidating to you.

His member was...intense. He pushed it against your lips. “Open them.”

You obeyed him and opened your mouth. He grabbed the back of your head and moved it up and down on his member. You whined against his size and started sucking properly.

Sukuna leaned his head back and groaned at the feeling of your warm mouth.

“Mm...you feel hot, [your name]...” He breathed deeply as you wrapped your tongue around him.

You had no control over your head at first. His cock was forcing itself in and out of your small mouth, close to your throat. This made you gag and want to pull away from him. He stopped briefly and let you move your head to the side to cough.

“I-i’m sorry...ack!” your own spit was running down your chin, as you looked up to him like a puppy dog. Tears glistened the corners of your eyes. Sukuna raised a hand to your cheek and pushed them away with his thumb.

“Don’t cry on me...I should be apologizing…!.” a softer voice spoke. It sounded like Yuuji’s. His eyes looked apologetic, but turned on. He didn’t appreciate Sukuna throwing you around but, what could he do? When the Lord of Curses was in this hot and heavy mood, nothing changed until he was finished.

The hand that nicely rested on the side of your cheek, then grabbed your mouth and squeezed your face together.

“Why did you stop? Because your small mouth can’t handle my cock?” He scuffed at you. “I know what can though” He smirked and your eyes widened, shaking your head.

“P-please...n-not there!” Your blush intensified. You have done it before but with his size...there’s no way!

Sukuna pushed you over and spread your legs. He was about to push himself in when you stopped him. “Wait! Protection!” You motioned to a nearby dresser and he rolled his eyes.

“Seriously? You don’t want to bear my offspring?” He chuckled and you narrowed your eyes at him. “How disappointing…fine, I will listen to you this time, on one condition. Make a deal with me beforehand.”

You gulped and leaned up onto your elbows. Making a deal with a demon seems sketchy, especially in the predicament you are in right now. “... what’s your deal?” You replied cautiously.

“I will wear protection...if you let me go hard and do what I need to do.” He ran a finger along the inner side of your thigh. This made you shiver. You are definitely not walking straight after this.

You bit your lip and nodded “O-okay..” You felt your body heat up as he went to put on a condom. Once he was back, you had moved to your stomach, butt up in the air for him.

He didn’t care what position you were in, he just wanted to be pleasured. He grabbed your hips and pressed his member against your entrance.

“It’s gonna be so good, girlie. You’ll want more” He then pushed in without a second thought. You barely had time to get used to it as you moaned out.

Your legs trembled at the feeling of his girth stretching you wide. You wondered if Yuji was able to feel this as well...you felt embarrassed for a second. It didn’t last long because Sukuna started going fast and hard into you.

You squeaked and then started moaning with every push, your mind melting away. He grunted, feeling your insides squeeze and pulse around his member.

“T-too….fast!” You managed to whine out as you squeezed the sheets. He replied with a slap on your ass. You yelped out, taking that as a warning to keep quiet.

. You made a deal with him and that deal stands until he releases.

The thrusting continued, on and on...your mind felt like jello. You moaned and whined with each passing push.

Your body started to tremble from the amount of times you’ve come. You attempt to pull yourself away from his grasp and he notices.

“...where are you heading to...slut?” He panted and grabbed your arms, pinning them behind your back. With those arms he brought you to sit up on your knees.

Sukuna slowed his pace and whispered in your ear seductively. “...ohhh [your name]~ your pussy makes me feel soooo good.” His tongue glided up your sensitive ears, your heart skipping a beat.

“That’s a good girl. Obey me…” He had all four arms out once again, like he did in the shower. This meant he had more control over your alluring body. He reached around your body with curious hands, one landing on your breast and another by your cunt.

You gasp at the feeling of hands assaulting your overstimulated body. He cupped your breast in his hand, giving it a loving squeeze.

“...Say my name.” The wandering hand by your cunt began to tease your button. The one part of your body that seemingly shut you down whenever it was pleasured.

You shook your head, moaning out “No! S-sukuna..!” Your hips swayed from side to side, in over to avoid his fingers. His hips moved faster, holding you in place with your arms forcefully.

“Don’t make me angry...little girl~. I have many plans for you.” His thrusts grew impatient as he quicked his hips once more. He was growing close and you could tell.

His sultry moans were echoing the room with your own voice. He continued to spin his finger tips around the top of your clit, teasing your hood.

He pinched and twisted your little button within his quick fingertips, sending continuous moans out your mouth.

The wave of overstimulation crept up your spine and into your stomach.

You had no time to react to letting yourself squirt all over the sheets. You came over his cock, making your walls squeeze tightly against him. This made him groan and lose himself a little.

“[your name]....o-oh yeah…!” He came into the condom and held you close to his glistening body. He dug his sharp teeth into your shoulder, breaking the skin. You gasped from the bite and felt his member get warm on the inside.

He let go of your bruised shoulder and pulled out of your sore cunt. Your sore body fell to the bed, quivering and panting. Sukuna groaned and tossed the filled condom into a nearby trash.

You were gonna feel this one tomorrow for sure. You squeezed your eyes shut and relaxed for a moment. Sukuna saw that you weren't getting up or moving right away and leaned down into your face.

"Yo girlie, you good? This brat is worried." He motioned to himself, meaning Yuji. You slowly nodded and replied, "y-yeah...just need a second..."

He sighed and plopped down on the bed next to your body.

"w-what are you doing...I said i'll be okay.." You looked over to him, laying next to you. Without looking, he grabbed the back of your head and forced it into his chest.

"Just stop talking."

You weren't expecting this...kindness? He was so rough a moment ago and now he's a different person. Maybe Yuji's yelling at him? It didn't matter now...all you wanted to do was rest, if only for a moment.

Only Twilight

Ok so me and @unwantedcrow were talking about this and I had to do something about it XD

"Where are we?" Four asked, "I've never seen anything like this place."

Legend's face quirked up amusedly, "is that a tumbleweed?"

Eight pairs of eyes found their way to Twilight. The rancher scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

"We see one tumbleweed and you all just assume this is mine?" He threw his arm toward Sky, "he has tumbleweeds too!"

"Only in the desert" Sky replied, "and from what you've told us about your home, I don't see how this could be any other place."

Twilight sighed, "ok well you're right I just hate that I have such a label."

Wild patted the older hero's arm, "you have a few." There were chuckles and Twilight decided it was best not to argue.

"Ok" he said, changing the subject, "we are near Castle Town somewhere in Hyrule field. I say we make our way to the castle, and inform her Majesty of our situation."

There were words of agreement, and with that they were off.

It didn't take them long to reach the large, heavy wooden doors outside the town. Twilight knocked, and a guard let them all inside.

"Good to see you back sir" he said, "shall I let her Majesty know you are on your way?"

"Yes thank you" Twilight replied.

"How many gates like this are there?" Time asked.

"Three" Twilight replied, "this is the west gate."

"And you said the castle is just through this street?" Warriors said.

"Yeah. We just have to-"

Arf!

The group turned to see a little black and brown dog racing toward them. Twilight's face lit up as he opened his arms and knelt on the cold stone path. The dog put it's paws on his knees and licked his face, making their usually stoic friend laugh like a small boy.

They were all perplexed, but not surprised. This was a very "Twilight" thing to be happening. They watched, shaking their heads as he scratched the dogs ears and stroked it's coat.

"Good to see you again buddy!"

"Pup come on" Time said with a laugh, pinching the bridge of his nose, "you make it so easy to just..." He laughed again, waving away the rest of his words.

Legend was about to make a remark when a chorus of "mews" echoed through the streets.

Twilight's grin widened and that's when the day went from stereotypical to completely overboard.

A literal army's worth of cats and kittens, as well as another dog came jogging around the corner and right into the group.

"W H A T" Wild exclaimed, taking a step into the sea of fur surrounding his mentor.

In seconds Twilight had three cats on his shoulders, four hanging onto the back of his pelt, two in his lap, two more in his arms, and one on his head. The dogs sat at his side, wagging their tails patiently waiting to be petted.

"I'm just...did they know you were here? I'm a little bit scared right now" Warriors said, deep and utter bewilderment in his voice.

"Yeah well I always check in on them and they know my smell. Their home is just around the corner, and they're excited I'm visiting."

The group peered down at him. It was so endearing they didn't know what to do with themselves. Here was big, burly, no nonsense Twilight snuggling a bunch of tiny kittens with all the gentleness and practice he had apparently acquired over the years.

The others felt grins spread across their own faces, and many of them bent down to scoop up kittens, or move dogs out of the way of pedestrians and carts. Twilight stood up carefully, not loosing a single cat. The one on his head was curled up, fast asleep and purring. Wind thought that was infinitely hilarious, and Time began extracting the kittens from his protege's back.

He was wrangling a particularly difficult calico when the sound of clanking metal rang through the street. The heroes attention moved toward the sound, and Twilight's grin fell into a soft smile.

A figure draped in cream and purple fabric and flanked by two guards floated towards them, gliding over the cobblestone in a way only royalty could manage.

"Well Link" Dusk said with a smirk, "I thought I might find you here."

Twilight laughed, and the others dropped to a respectful knee, bowing their heads toward the queen. Time managed to set the kitten he retrieved from Twilight on the ground, and the tiny thing ran right up to Dusk.

The queen waved her hand, "oh Link stand up there's no need for-....hello" she said, picking up the kitten. It began to chew her glove, but she didn't seem to mind.

Twilight didn't seem embarassed in any way, which the boys found miraculous seeing as he was caught with a hoard of kittens in the middle of the street by the queen of Hyrule. They wondered how normal this must be for them, and there were a few amused snorts of laughter.

Twilight stood and explained his companions presence as concisely as he could.

"I see" she said, her eyes widening at the information. "So you are all named Link then?"

The group stood, giving her nods of greeting as she looked them over.

"Agh!" Legend cried out, "Roolie help me out here will you?"

He had apparently missed a cat, and the little creature had begun to use his leg as a scratching post. Hyrule removed the cat and shooed it away.

"Yes" Time cut in, trying to ignore the chaos around them, "we have all been given alternate names to use in the meantime. Your hero here is Twilight."

Twilight nodded at Dusk, "yes if you hear them say that they're talking to me. I apologize for the delay on the way to the castle. I can't easily walk through this town without some company."

Dusk smiled softly, "Oh it's alright. When the guard sent word you arrived I assumed you'd be a bit....late." She set down her glove-eating kitten, pausing in her stoop to scratch behind one of the dog's ears.

"Shall we then?" She said, beginning to walk toward the castle.

"Yes of course."

Wild nudged Twilight and the rancher met his eyes.

"I hope you know you are never going to live this down."

Twilight groaned and rolled his eyes, "yeah I figured."

Wild was 100% correct.

Just For a Minute (My Hero Academia)

Primary Universe

At this point I’m pretty sure I’ve read every MHA tickle fic there is on Tumblr. I LOVE this anime so freaking much; it’s become an obsession at this point. Help me. XD’

Note: This fic is not part of the 12 Days of Ficmas.

Shoutout to the Anon who wanted to see lee Bakugou and ler Kirishima! Your request didn’t match the criteria I set up for the 12 Days fics (and I had already written this before your ask came in), but I see you! :D

Bakugou grunted when Kirishima nudged his side. To his credit, he didn’t flinch, but his whole body tensed, and the redhead noticed.

Kiri looked at him sideways. “Hey, man.” A smirk appeared. “You ticklish?”

Bakugou said nothing at first; only sat very still and appeared as if he were concentrating on something. Then he muttered under his breath, “I don’t like it. So don’t even think about it.”

Surprised that he hadn’t outright denied it, Kiri’s eyebrows shot up. “Whoa, really? No way!”

“Don’t get excited, idiot,” Bakugou growled, finally turning to glare at his friend. “I said I don’t like it.”

Kiri nudged Bakugou’s shoulder this time. “Come on, dude. We never hear you laugh.”

“I laugh all the time, moron.”

“I mean really laugh. None of that evil I’m-going-to-destroy-the-world nonsense.”

“Forget it.”

Kirishima looked across to Kaminari, and the two exchanged a brief nod. Bakugou was on his feet in an instant, but both boys tackled him right back onto the couch.

“Get off!” Bakugou yelled, sounding as angry as ever. He pushed at both of them, managing to succeed in getting Kaminari off him while Kirishima merely hardened his body so he was immovable and pushed the blonde down to the floor. Bakugou growled and sparks began to appear in his palms, but Kiri stopped him.

“Ah-ah, Bakugou! You can’t do that; you’ll blow up the whole living room and get in trouble with Mr. Aizawa.”

Bakugou growled, still struggling. “I said I don’t like it! Let me go!”

“Come onnn,” Kiri whined. “Just for a minute.”

“No!”

Kaminari reappeared. “Here, you pin him down with your quirk. I’ll do the rest.”

“Idiots! Let me go!” Bakugou shouted, fighting every step of the way as Kiri climbed off of him to reposition himself behind the blonde’s head, bringing his arms up and pinning them down firmly while Kaminari straddled their explosive friend. “Wait!”

Then Bakugou was biting down hard on his lip, using every ounce of strength he had to keep himself in control. Kaminari’s fingers skittered all over his ribs and stomach, forcing him to twitch and struggle to get away, but it was useless.

“N-No, this is—” Bakugou ground out, every word sounding like it pained him to speak it. A single bark of laughter escaped him before he regained control. “This is harassment! Get off, you idiots!”

“Just let it out, Bakugou. You know you want to~” Teased Kiri from behind him, but his words only made the blonde angrier.

“I do not! Dang it, let me go!”

Then Kaminari found a spot – right at the top of his ribs, beneath his underarms – and Bakugou giggled. Instantly his face went beet red, even as his mirth continued to spill over despite his best efforts. “N-No! Idiots, l-let me go, or I swear I’ll—!” Fingers moved up into his underarms, making him lose control even further, giggles being pulled out of him whether he liked it or not. He thrashed beneath his captors, face nearly unrecognizable for how red it had become. “Gah! S-Stop it! Seriously, I d-don’t--!”

“Ugh, stop fighting it,” Kirishima said, shifting so his knees were pinning Bakugou’s arms down now. Eager to get in on the fun, he scribbled in the blonde’s underarms while Kaminari returned to his ribs and sides.

“Knock it off!” Bakugou demanded, still struggling as much as possible. He managed to make Kaminari lose his balance a couple of times, but ultimately he was still trapped.

The two captors looked at each other again, and again came to a silent agreement. In the next instant Kaminari was untucking Bakugou’s shirt and sliding his hands underneath while Kirishima slipped his wiggling fingers underneath his short sleeves.

Bakugou jolted. “Nohohohohohohoho!” Soft, reluctant laughter poured from him freely now, and his body reacted more by squirming than anything else at this point. He squeezed his eyes shut to block out their grinning faces, but then immediately opened them again. Nope. Not doing that. “Agh! S-Stahahahahahap you mohohohohorons!”

“But it’s nice to hear you laughing, Bakugou,” Kaminari replied with a smile.

Kiri nodded. “Yeah! You’re always so grumpy and serious. It’s good to see you lighten up a little.”

“F-Fricking get ohohohohoff of me!” Bakugou managed between snickers. “I swear I’ll k-kihihihill you bohohohoth! Stahahahahap!”

“Uh…guys?”

The new voice made all three of them freeze and turn. Deku had entered the living room, looking completely perplexed and a little flustered. He looked first at Bakugou, then Kaminari, then Kirishima, and back to the first again. “W-What…what’s going on?”

“What does it look like, Midoriya?” Kiri scoffed good-naturedly. “You should know.”

“B-But…um…” Deku met Bakugou’s eyes for the briefest of moments before the blonde turned his face away, obviously blushing furiously from embarrassment. “He doesn’t…he doesn’t like it, you know? Are you sure it’s a good idea?”

That nerd was defending him now, dang it. Bakugou hated this. He hated it with every fiber of his being. Deku knowing he was ticklish was one thing. They’d grown up together; it was practically inevitable. But this? Having two of his classmates find out and then use it against him? This was a living nightmare.

“We just want to hear him laugh for a change,” Kaminari replied.

“Yeah! Oh, hey, Midoriya – you two grew up together, right?” Kiri asked, grinning. “Want to give us some tips?”

Suddenly Bakugou was struggling again, kicking and pushing against his two captors with renewed vigor, hoping that their being distracted would also mean they were off-guard. This was true for Kaminari, who toppled off of him with a yelp of surprise, but the same couldn’t be said for Kirishima, who continued to hold him down firmly like an immovable boulder.

“Dang it, spiky hair! Let me up already!” Bakugou yelled, keeping himself curled up so he could kick Kaminari away again if he needed to.

Deku frowned. He could tell his friend was really uncomfortable and embarrassed, but he didn’t know what to say to get Kirishima to let him go. “Listen, I know it would be nice to see Kacchan smile and laugh for once, but…it’s not worth making him hate you later, you know? Believe me, being on the receiving end of his wrath is not…not fun.”

Bakugou dared a glance back at Deku and was surprised to find him looking just as unhappy as he felt right now. Suddenly he had flashbacks to all the times growing up where the nerd would follow him around everywhere like a puppy – both before and after he got his quirk – always there to have his back and offer encouragement, even though Bakugou had never asked for it.

And here he was again – years later – doing the exact same thing. Defending him, trying to protect him, even though Bakugou never asked and never wanted it in the first place. Even though he had put Deku through so much torment over the years.

“UGH.” Bakugou growled loudly, letting his legs fall back to the floor in resignation, rolling his eyes. “FINE. Look, I hate this. I hate it. But if it will get you idiots to leave me the heck alone – and as long as you swear not to breathe a word of this to anyone – then fine. Just do it. Get it over with already.”

“K-Kacchan…”

“Don’t make me repeat myself!” Bakugou snapped. “Just tell them and get on with it.”

Deku hesitated, but eventually the expectant looks from Kirishima and Kaminari coupled with the resigned face of his childhood friend made him cave, if nothing else just so Bakugou could be relieved of his suffering.

“I-It’s, um…y-you gotta…” Deku sighed, kneeling down beside them. “Here. Like this.” He didn’t dare look at Bakugou as he curled his hands into fists and drilled his knuckles into either side of the blonde’s ribcage.

“AAAGH!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Laughter exploded from Bakugou, his struggling coming back twice as strong as before. The atomic teen blushed so hard it spread to his ears and neck, but he couldn’t stop laughing, and Deku found he suddenly couldn’t stop smiling, either.

“Whoa! Dude, let me try!” Kaminari exclaimed, repeating what Deku did and making Bakugou unleash a new round of hysterics.

“GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!!”

“Me, too!” Kirishima reached over to repeat the action.

Bakugou writhed, lost in ticklish agony. “AHAHAHAHALL RIGHT ENOHOHOHOHOUGH ALREADYHEHEHEHE!! STAHAHAHAHAHAP!!”

“Just one minute,” Kirishima replied, beaming. “I promise.”

“NAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU IHIHIHIHIHIDIOTS!!” Bakugou shrieked and thrashed and dug his heels into the floor, but none of it saved him, and he was blushing so hard Deku wondered if he could even breathe. “FRICKING STAHAHAHAHAHAHAP!! YOU GOT WHAHAHAHAHAT YOU WAHAHAHAHAHANTED!!”

“What about here?” Kaminari asked, knuckling into the spot that had made Bakugou break the first time, and the blonde dissolved into silent laughter.

“All right, that’s enough,” Kirishima announced, climbing off of his friend’s arms. Kaminari hopped off as well, leaving Bakugou to curl up in a ball and catch his breath.

Deku sat back, watching his friend with a worried expression on his face. His heart was pounding. He had no idea what Bakugou would do to any of them now that he was free, and it terrified him. “Kacchan—”

“Shut up,” Bakugou growled, though he didn’t turn to face any of them. “Not a word. Not a single. Word. Understand me?”

“We won’t tell anyone,” Kirishima said with a nod.

Kaminari concurred. “We promise.”

“Definitely,” Deku added, feeling the need to reaffirm the vow he’d already made years ago.

Bakugou was silent for a long while. Then he took in a deep breath, let it out slowly, and sat up, climbing back up to where he’d been seated on the couch not five minutes ago. He snatched up his textbook and glared at its contents. “Ugh. Where were we?”

Okay I forgot to mention but yeESSSSS YAASSSSSSS EVEN ATHENA KNOWS IT'S TRUE DETECTIVE REYESSSSSS!!

Anyway about the last scene: -.- seriously bro. Hi, how are you guys?? Ugh. I mean, I'm glad we wrapped up a storyline, but c'mon, guys -.- . I am kinda peeved. Anyway, live reaction (reanactment):

Oh great (at them before they noticed lol)

Oh NO

OH NO

Oh DAAANG

Wait there's no way that's a human body right. It's just blood. RIGHT??

No no there's something there- I kinda thought pig a minute ago?? Idek

I S W E A R if it's a dead human body-

PHEWW hooo okay yeah it's just a pig

I mean AHHH still and :((( poor pig but dang still :/

Ohhh I thought it was about herrrr still. Like idk they just knew they were a thing or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They're not exactly subtle. Idk if I believe that though-

Ohhh okay nah nevermind yeah it's that fake police guy. Ahh nice, chillin'

Welp, I think I can survive another week without much Tarlos, since we'll have whatever the heck we'll get with 3x13 :)) I will miss them though - at least give me both of them separately 😭😭 (although then I'd probably say 'so they were both THERE but we couldn't see them together 😤😤 /lh' so eh there's no winning xd nah I'll survive though lol).

Anyway!! Time for the. . .

REVIEW

Okay! So, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

The CARLOS ANGST!!! Immaculate 🥰🥰❤️😍😍😤😤😤 (in a good way) 😭😭😍😍❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

Now, this review will probably be short (hopefully - and also because I might have my eye on writing something 👀. . . Maybe Carlos combined with spring break has done it for me xDD), but rest assured I adored it all :))

Well, okay, maybe not ALL of it - let's get into that :))

For a little bit, lol.

Anyway!! Owen. Eh, not my favorite storyline ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I've honestly even had ones this season that I prefer. But, it wasn't horrible. I mean, c'mon, we got Catherine c a l l i n g h i m t h e f r i c k o u t, yes, icon, even if she's not my favorite, we got some Mateo, Tommy, Paul, AND TK shoved in there at some point (Judd too, obviously, but my point is we saw him at other points :)) ), so that was nice :D. Not much Marjan ://. But, I did love her being there in the first bit, even if it wasn't for much :)). I miss her and I love her <33. And poor girl to have to see that :((. Any of them, obviously, I'm just talking about her right now lol. She doesn't deserve it, and none of them do :'( 😭😭.

Anyway! PAUL :DD. Literally my reaction lol. Glad we got to see a little bit of how he's doing :)), makes sense to do a follow-up, but this episode was already jam-packed (mostly with Owen 🙄🙄 - but again I say, at least he got put into his place 😌😌 twice xDD). Still very happy to see my boy though :DDD. I love him <33. Also, as I saw someone else mention, yesss!! His concern for Owen 🥰🥰. Even when he won't take care of himself lol. Also, him and Tommy ALSO calling Owen out, for various things XDD. Beautiful.

And, as a plus to the Owen storyline, we got to see a dead pig :D. The threat mostly is the fun part :)). That's the second- well, I guess third, since I just said Tommy and Paul did xDD, time somebody out Owen in his lace- . . . place 😌😌😌. Obviously it's not GOOD, and kind of annoying it's him, but still: epic :)). And also ~ drama ~ so, lol.

Aaaanyway!

CARLOS AND GRACE!!!!

CARLOS AND GRACE CARLOS AND GRACE CARLOS AND GRACE CARLOS AND GRACE CARLOS AND GRACE-

Yes I typed all of those out (not really painstakingly lol xdd) <333.

ANYWAY! I've talked about them plenty already, but just- they deserved more 😭😭😭. Or deserved better 😭😭😭, or both, I don't know. I mean more screen time, with this plot specifically (looking at you, Owen -.-), but I also just mean they don't deserve this paainnnn 😭😭😭😭😭 :'((( :((

AGH

Anyway 😘, I love how happy Carlos looks to see her 🥰🥰🥰🥰!! And him barely knowing anything about gaming/streaming - 😭 AUGH iconic. Also them reading those stream comments is my life lol. Thank you XDD.

Lone Star writers know what we WANT. The weird stuff, at least xD. And, sometimes. LOL, anyways :'))) (kinda suffering xDD).

Anyway, I love them so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰.

And ATHENA!!!

Hey girl :DDDDDD!!

Love you 🥰🥰 you're my child too 😘😙 Welcome, you're adopted 🥳🥳 (not that you weren't already, but you know :)) )

Now, I personally DID think that conversation was a bit awkward, but I'd definitely take it over no conversation 😌😌😌 :))). I just love them all so much :p. Also, I love the idea of them knowing each other, and Buck, Eddie, and Hen knowing the others, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY KNOW EACH OTHER XDDD. Or, the others, I guess. It's a whole complicated situation, but I hope you get what I mean XDD.

ALSO GRACE RYDER ICON EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!! AYYYYY HER!!! I KNOW THAT DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE BUT SHHH DON'T MIND IT 🥰🥰🥰

Anyway LOL that was hilarious XD. Also Athena "I like her" and Carlos "Me too", plus Carlos dying after Grace said it - iconic XDD.

Also, Athena has adopted two new children 🥰🥰🥰. Welcome guys, you're part of the family now. No questions :)), no arguments <33. Just go :'DDD. Ahhh, watching them go off like it's to college, with a tear in my eye :').

XDDD Anyway!!!

TARLOS!!!

THE NOD, THE STARING AT HIM, THE JOKING AROUND BUT MAKING SURE HE'S AWARE AND SAYING ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID BECAUSE BY GOLLY S O M E O N E HAS TO NOT QUITE EXPRESS BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN THIS MAN'S EMOTIONS FOR HIM!!!!

Anyway, I'm fine 😌😌😌😌😌🥰🥰🥰🥰 :))) <333.

:')))

(suffering but I love it, suffering from happiness almost 🥰🥰😍❤️❤️❤️❤️🥳😌😌😌😌😙😘😘😙😙 goodbye <33)

Anyway xDD. I love them!!! But I won't say much more on theme write now because, like I said, I may write something 👀👀👀.

ALSO JUDD BEST FATHER EVER YES THANK YOU <333

AND HUSBAND!!!

I JUST LOVE JUDD OKAY???!??!??? HIM <3333

Lol, also, I was gonna say, since I said best husband at the end of the post previous to my one about the scene in the loft, at the end of IT (the loft post), TK best boyfriend 🥰🥰🥰🥰. Or TK also best husband xDDD. Anyway, lol, love them all <333333 (all four of them). But yeah, Judd was amazing and nice and caring and all helpful as always :)).

Tbh, I know it isn't in high demand, but, waiting for a Judd storyline! He's always helping others people with their problems, having conversations with them, but when's it time for someone else to help him with his 🥰🥰👀🥰🥰? Also, I know there was Wyatt, but I kind of forgot that for a minute, and still - thst wasn't much, and it has been 5 episodes. Idk I'm just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm okay with the way we are right now, for now, I just love him a lot :)))

Lastly

Nancy Gillian's absence is deafening <3.

SKFHSKFKSLFKSLKJDLS

LOL

Anyway! Yeah :)). That's just about it, a nice good Nancy mention because I miss h e r <333 (not like I don't miss someone else just h e r <333 and also the fact that I miss her :')) - mostly happy there not suffering just kinda sad and happy and yeah I love her ❤️❤️❤️😍🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭🥰🥰🥰) to round it off.

Overall: I loved this episode! We got to see a little bit of everyone - except Nancy. 😒. Anyway! We got a Carlos storyline, AND a Grace storyline, and the Owen plot wasn't horrible either! Plus, it had the high points of his friends and others taking him down a peg, or trying to anyway, even through threats :)). And, uh, even if we don't like those >:(. No threats. Bad. Doo dee doo. . . But I'm just saying I think it's telling that I put >:) at first. That's all I'm saying!

Lol, anyway, I loved the episode. Not to even mention the background TK :)), and the RYDERS!! MMH, love them <33. And really, I can't deny Carlos was looking hot xDD <33. And also adorable lol <33 xD. Mostly because of his hair :') (happy). Ahh. Such a good boy :). Not like, in a weird way, just- idk like a blorbo kind of. Idk I keep thinking of Sausage from Empires 😭😭😭. XD. In general I think it might be better suited to Minecraft men lol. Anyway! Curls, adorable, him, adorable, Tarlos, adorable, Grace, adorable, Judd, adorable, Paul, adorable, Charlie, adorable, TK, adorable - yes, we love them all <333333.

And one more thing: ATHENAAAA!!! Girl I love you <333. Like I said, it was a little awkward, the conversation there, but I still loved it <333. And I love her, and her relationship (however new it is ;) - I'm sure we'll get more, which is mostly the meaning of that wink by the way, besides that just for fun lol) with them :)). And like I said - clearly (it better be that) Athena knows Carlos and Grace, and Buck, Eddie, and Hen, know TK, Marjan, Judd, Paul, and Owen <33. And maybe even Tommy, depending on if they met her there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Also, those hearts are not for Owen specifically lol - you need to share, Owen xdd. But not in a "Share my love" way, just a, not really for you xDD. Not exclusively anyway, and you're CERTAINLY not top for my favorites/loved most list lol. Anyway!!! I imagine they see the others and what not on social media or whatever, like Instagram, since they swapped some of those, and maybe a few (PLATONIC idk it's just kinda usually a romantic thing so I'm covering my bases, making sure xDD) phone numbers, but still, lol. Anyway, yeah, I love them all <3333.

Soo, yeah! I really loved the episode :DD. Even though it's hard to choose, definitely one of my favorites!! :DDDD! It's up there somewhere :))).

So yeah! It was absolutely great. This has been my review of. . .

Hey can I get a headcanon of any riddler of your fancy finding his partners hidden treasure trove of sex toy goodies after stooping around their home, probably while they're out and how they'd react?

oh ho! any riddler?! this is a blank check for mayhem!

i have naughty hands and no self control so ima do all my riddlers hahahah

this is only a lil ns fw so no below the cut this time

Arkham riddler

oh.

OH.

First response is he goes BRIGHT RED. H-He was looking for something else, like an allen key or a pack of batteries or something! He didn't mean to snoop! He’ll throw all the toys back in the drawer or box and hurry away like nothing happened. he did find batteries but was to embarrassed to use them.

his face is going to be bright red for hours, you’ll easily be able to tell something is up but he wont tell you what.

but that being said, hes not going to be able to stop thinking about them. he feels a little naughty for doing it but hes imagining you using them, on him, on yourself. the idea is filthy to him but very intriguing.

Don't expect him to EVER mention it again but if YOU brought up the idea or told him you had some toys to play with, he’d have a hard time hiding his excitement. He hasn't stopped thinking about them since and he has some IDEAS.

Blacklight Riddler

oh ho! rubbing his little fingerless gloved hands in glee. treasure trove is the right word to use, all his christmases have come at once when he finds this gold mine.

He knew you were kinky but he had no idea you were THIS kinky, why would you keep this from him???

hes like a child in a candy store. what does this one do??? ohh this one vibrates! ooh a purple and green one, did you get this specially for him?

Don't be surprised if you come home and find him elbow deep in your drawer or box still rummaging and exploring, possibly with condoms scattered around him like confetti and bondage rope around his neck like a scarf.

He’s going to ask right away to play with some of these. he might even sneak off to use them by himself but he will GLADLY let you do the hard work.

He’s going to want to go to the sex toy shop with you. can you get some couples toys? will you peg him?? OH! what about some of those cool remote control toys??? he can make some custom ones for you both to use if you want! Man is going to be bouncing off the walls, you're going to need to get him to calm down before you can do anything. he’s enthusiastic to say the least.

BTAS Riddler

oh? what on earth is th-AGH! *flings a wobbly pink dick across the room in a panic*. Que overdramatics . lots of “my eyes are SOILED! MY HANDS WILL NEVER BE CLEAN AGAIN!”

Will probably screech “WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE THIS?!” into an empty house.

i think its the shock more than anything. he’s a germaphobe and he wasn't wearing his gloves while he was rummaging and he wasn't expecting to touch something so...intimate with his bare hands. this has ABSOLUTELY been inside you and it feels...off for him to touch it. He hopes to god you are as particular about cleaning these as you are about the rest of your cleaning.

once the initial fright wears off, he probably feels a bit guilty for nosing about. He wasn't looking for your intimates specifically, he was just being inquisitive, maybe looking for birthday or christmas presents. I think like arkham riddler, he’d probably be unable to get the image out of his head. he'd probably have to go back for another look.

he has to work up the courage to talk about it. he’s probably expecting to get yelled at, he shouldn't have been rummaging through your things in the first place.he doesn't REALLY need to confront you about this. but he’s insecure as all hell and he needs to know, is he not good enough? is he not satisfying you? why do you need these toys if you have him? please be gentle in explaining, whatever your answer is.

Original riddler

so freaking blase about the whole thing. you could leave them in the fridge or something and he’d be like “hmm, cheese, ham, dildo....hey y/n we’re nearly out of milk!”

he doesn't exactly want dicks or fleshlights left out around his apartment but he’s not so insecure about you having them. he knows he cant be there for you 24/7. maybe your schedules are conflicting, maybe you just want some quite alone time, he’s not judging, he does it too.

might tease you a little about your taste in toys. like if you have massive dicks he’s going to call you a size queen, regardless of your gender. or if you like weird ones like that windmill oral thing he’s going to call you a kinky lil freak .

i don't think he has any of his own but he’d be quite happy to use yours on you if you wanted.

unlike the others, he probably respects your privacy enough to not go looking for them or even rummaging through your things. but he is childish as all hell. if you left them out in a shared space he’s going to mess around with them, like pretending to give you a neck massage only to bust out a hitachi wand or something.

despite his bravado and not really minding that you have them, his mouth will go a little dry if you bring up the idea of domming him by using them on him . that's....an intriguing idea.

Telltale riddler

well. hes not THRILLED about this discovery. But given how often he’s gone, either for work or running from the law, he cant exactly blame you. you have needs he’s clearly not meeting.

he’s pretty tempted to take your batteries away from you for badness.

he gets a devious idea looking at your toys. He’s offended! how could you replace him with plastic and silicone?! he’s much better than any toy. guess he’ll just have to prove it to you.

he’ll probably confront you as soon as you get home. something like “been keeping secrets from me?” but like. in a sexy voice, not an angry one.

He’s obviously a little ticked off but tries to keep it playful. you can definitely expect him to spend the day making it up to you. he’s going to tease you, hes going to ask if you think of him while you use them , maybe even use some of them on you himself but pulling away at the last moment as punishment . if you want relief you’ll have to ask him nicely.

he’d be absolutely speechless if you flipped the script on him. listen he might be 60 but suddenly he’s a teenager again, embarrassed and unable to form coherent sentences in the face of your exuberant confidence. once he gets his footing back however you two are going to be playing hella games. he’s going to want to sext while he’s gone, send you naughty photos and get some back. maybe the toys aren't such a bad thing after all?

Zero year riddler

you’ll for sure know if this riddler has found your stash. you’ll come home and he’ll be drinking out of a dick shaped straw, wearing those dumb penis glasses you see at bachelorette parties. he’ll have decorated with rope or feather boas , taken polaroid photos of him posing with your toys and stuck them to the walls. he’ll have a smug look on his face but play totally innocent like “something you wanna tell me, y/n?” Shame is not an emotion this riddler is capable of.

he was looking through your things on purpose because he’s a nosy shit. He likes knowing your secrets to mess with you later. He wished he had a camera to record his reaction upon finding THIS secret.sheer unfiltered joy .He’s for sure recording your reaction to him putting you on blast so you two can laugh about it later.

he might feel a LITTLE guilty depending on your reaction. if you react badly or really embarrassed he might feel bad for crossing a line and apologise . He’s still a little shit about it but he’s an apologetic little shit.

all of these riddlers pretend they're the most confident person in the room but , like the others, if you turn your charm and confidence on him, he’ll crumble like a dry sandcastle.

He doesn't want to admit he has NO clue what any of these toys do. like why is this one shaped like an egg?...it goes WHERE?!

rare moment of nervousness from him if you ask him to use them on you/ on him. again, he doesn't know what the heck he’s doing with toys but he’ll be damned if he admits that. feel free to mess with him as payback. this is what he gets for running his mouth and poking his nose into other peoples business

there you go nonnie! i actually got this one out pretty quickly, i wasnt expecting to do it that fast hah. i like doing asks like this, that are a little nsfw but not so much i have to hide them under a read more.

that being said, full nsfw asks are my jam XD

Got something you wana ask me? feel free to send me an ask or a dm! im always game to talk about our favorite curious menace 💚💜

15x16: Drag Me Away (From You)

The time has come!!

Let’s get some questions answered and see some young Sam and Dean! I’m pumped!

Oof. I can tell this episode is still gonna be pretty plot heavy just based on this “then” alone.

AHHHH my baby crying again. :’( :’( :’( :’(

Okay quick side note on Cas’s reaction to what Jack tells him: I read something from Matt Cohen that said he just kept the camera rolling for unusually long takes during that scene to see what Misha would do with what Jack was saying, and that, in the process, he totally saw a touch of Misha’s fatherly side when it comes to his own kids. I completely agree, and that is a hardcore acting point for Misha and a definite directing point for Matt.

YEAH CAS! TELL US!

UGH! Since it’s a MOTW, we have to wait and watch someone die in the first five minutes before we get resolution. Gosh darnat.

Also this is a very interesting music choice? XD

My Mom: “Doctor’s orders.” Do you think that means his shrink told him to go there?

Oof. “Long time ago.” Suspicious.

Nice cinematography. Cool shot of this hallway.

I’m gonna take a wild guess here and say that something happened in that room forever ago that traumatized him.

Wow. That is a swanky hotel room. (My mom and I said basically the same thing at the same time. XD)

Whiskey. Great start.

Ope. Music changed. Dude’s gonna die.

Hey, for future reference, if you’re trying to convince yourself it wasn’t real, it was probably real.

UMMMMM

LOOKS PRETTY REAL TO ME TRAVIS!!!

Wait a second...that’s one of the kids from the promo videos?? Isn’t that young him? As a...ghost?

I’D SAY THAT’S PRETTY REAL TRAVIS!!!

Jesus...

Okay finally! Resolution.

Ummmm...this doesn’t look like resolution!!!

Dude did not slit his own throat, but okay then.

Ummm...you have a lot to do??

Oh da**it...THIS AGAIN??! REALLY DEAN??!! DIDN’T WE LEARN FROM THIS BACK IN SEASON 9?? (No, of course we didn’t, because these two never learn anything.)

LIAR!!

Wait wait wait. Can we talk about the fact that Sam’s first thought was that Cas left because he and Dean got into a fight? *cough cough* The Destiel is real *cough cough*. XD XD XD

SAM YELLING AT HIM FOR TEXTING AND DRIVING OH MY GOD I’M DEAD!!!

ALSO THAT TEXT FROM CAS HOLY FRICK!!! “Did you tell Sam yet?” I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!!!

Because the thing is, I can totally imagine Cas just SAYING that, knowing full well that Dean probably didn’t tell Sam, and I read that text with so much sass and scolding in it and I’m dying laughing oh my god.

And no, of course he didn’t, because WE DON’T GET TO KNOW WHAT IT IS!

But also...if Dean hasn’t told Sam yet, this is making me think that Cas didn’t tell him about the Empty, but rather about what Jack told him...which means I was wrong.

Unless I wasn’t. But if it was about the Empty, why wouldn’t Dean tell Sam?

Although, actually, if it is about Jack, WHY wouldn’t Dean tell Sam?

DEAN JUST TELL YOUR BROTHER SO WE CAN HEAR WHAT THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION WAS GOSH DARNAT!!!

Also tell your brother because we should know by now that lying doesn’t get us anywhere.

Anyways. Moving on.

God that texting and driving interaction. XD XD

Ooh! Nice transition!

When do I get the backstory?? I want the flashbacks! If this is our last flashback episode, I want to revel in it gosh darnat!

OH WAIT HERE IT IS!!

LITTLE SAM AND LITTLE DEAN AHHHH!!!

DEAN’S WEARING THE SAMULET OH MY GOD!!!

I know it’s, like, not a surprise, but it’s BEEN SO LONG since we’ve seen him wearing it!! It’s SOOO good to see it back!! It’s such a subtle little detail, but man it’s a good one.

“I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.” XD XD EVEN AS A KID, SAM HAD SO MUCH SASS OMG!! XD XD

BROTHERS! XD XD

The way that actor just said victory was SOOO Dean omg. The casting on this show is INCREDIBLE. This kid is already ROCKING the Dean personality and he’s only been on screen for two minutes.

Young Sam’s actor is nailing it too, for the record. ESPECIALLY with that sass.

...ouch. That was rude Dean.

Very Dean (at least at that time), but still rude.

That music. Yikes.

DUDE THAT’S THE SAME SOUNDTRACK USED IN SWAN SONG DURING CHUCK’S NARRATION OH MY GOD!! THEY 100% DID THAT ON PURPOSE BECAUSE SAM’S TALKING ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE AND IT ALL CONNECTS BACK TO WHERE THIS STORY STARTED AND IT’S OUR LAST FLASHBACK EPISODE AND OH MY GOD I LOVE THE SUBTLETIES OF THIS SHOW!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

This small scene is so poetic wow. Between the music, and Sam setting down the college book to pull out his hunting gear...just...wow. Well done Supernatural. Well done.

THERE’S FLANNEL IN THAT BAG! It really is a Winchester trait!

...dude WHAT? I wanna be able to do that.

YEP! YOUNG TRAVIS!

Okay so...a monster who imitates their victims...as their younger selves? That...Sam and Dean have fought before? I’m just gonna let them tell me lol.

Dean has always been suave with the ladies. XD

Do...do kids of cleaning crew people usually stay in the hotels that their parents work in? Cause I didn’t know that was a thing, but okay. XD

HA! Yeah, these two were 100% a thing, even if it was a small thing.

Alright, I like her. She’s fun.

OOH! Nice transition into older Caitlin, with young Caitlin echoing in the background.

Okay something about those hugs just made me “awww” out loud. I don’t know if it’s because we haven’t seen them hug anyone in a while or what, but that just felt so sweet. <3

I would be too, girl. :(

WHAT DID HAPPEN?! (I know they’ll tell us, but I’m impatient.)

Oof. See, in most cases, I am all for immersion therapy, because I think it can be useful, but when it’s a monster we’re talking about, that is a hard pass.

Also my mom just said “ha! Called it.” about the shrink thing. She is significantly better at predicting things in this show then I am...sometimes anyways. XD

Wow. I loved their reactions with that. Dean knew, probably because he was older, but Sam seem confused. Plus, that change in music was great. It was just the right amount of dramatic.

She needs you to hunt it.

WHY DO YOU THINK, SAM?!

WHO IS “SHE”??!! Someone please tell me. The suspense is killing me. XD XD

Awww...poor Travis.

Ummmmm....

JESUS CHRIST!! HOLY FREAKING...

My mom and I both just screamed! AGH! WHAT THE FRICK IS THAT??!!

Yeah this episode is definitely digging into this show’s horror roots.

“You okay, kid?” is one of the most Dean lines to ever Dean.

Yeah okay I can understand how that could be traumatizing enough for him to need therapy.

Yeah that’s what they all say.

I mean, I believe you, because I saw it, but...

EVEN AS KIDS, SAM AND DEAN GAVE EACH OTHER THEIR LITTLE NODS I LOVE THEM!!! <3 <3 <3

The talk--simplified.

THE FAMILY BUSINESS! <3 <3

Also Sam not being old enough to be included in the hunting business yet, but old enough to know about it is a big oof.

Sam backing up his big bro. <3

Watching young Dean try to ask questions in order to figure out the hunt is great, because you can tell he’s super inexperienced compared to now in the way he says it, but also that he definitely knows what he’s doing and I love it.

Oh. Maybe that nod is just a general sibling thing, because Caitlin and Travis just did it lol. It’s still the best when Sam and Dean do it though. XD <3

Huh. Yeah, I’d call that pretty weird.

That was a great shot. Down the line like that. I’m really digging this half of the season’s cinematography.

THAT WAS SUCH A GREAT TRANSITION OH MY GOD! And it just proves how well that young Dean actor (Paxton Singleton) is doing, because young Dean and older Dean’s expressions matched EXACTLY. <3

Dean do you just not want to admit that you might have not actually killed it?

Oh. That makes more sense. The lore doesn’t line up. Okay.

...okay maybe it’s also him being a little overconfident.

NICE TRANSITION AGAIN!

I KNEW THAT PROMO PHOTO WAS OF ALL OF THE KIDS HUNTING!

Welp. That’s it then.

“Got a knife, got a gun. I’m good.” That is so Dean, and also so dumb.

“Dad wouldn’t like this.” “Dad’s not here.” Haha I love them. XD <3

Awww...Dean still protecting his little bro. <3

Goonies reference. XD

He does not got this. Calling it now.

Dean don’t get hurt.

Either Sam or Caitlin is gonna show up. Calling it.

Probably Caitlin, ‘cause Sam still listened to him at that age lol.

YEP.

Also the way he pointed that gun at her omg. Have I mentioned that Paxton Singleton is doing an AMAZING job as Dean? Because WOW.

Ha! Yeah these two totally had a thing. A small thing, but a thing.

Ha! Okay, I like her sass. She’s cool.

My mom is not digging the high-pitched tone that’s attached to this music lol.

Yeah okay this episode is scaring me (in the best way lol). I’m loving it! We haven’t seen a horror-based episode in a while. It’s good to have one.

Awww...little bros bonding.

“Whatever it is, my brother will kill it.” He’s always had so much faith in him. <3 <3 <3

Although...the fact that they’re showing us the two boys back at the motel pretty much tells me that the monster isn’t where Dean and Caitlin are, but where Sam and Travis are. So...that’s great.

Ha! Too true.

Nice shot with the flashlight and the cobwebs.

Okay, now your optimism and chattiness is a little unnecessary, girl. Dean’s scared because he knows what could be out there. So shush.

But also I like your sass. XD

Oh...frick. What’s under there? It looks like the stuff from the kids.

YUUUUP. Called it. The monster is with them. Friiiiick. Sam still knows...how to hunt, right? He can handle this, right?

Remains? Mangled bodies? Something like that I bet.

Wow. Dean you hid that panic REALLY well. He really has been burying his emotions for years. No wonder he’s so good at it.

FRIIIIICK.

FRICK FRICK FRICK!!

*screams* *jumps*

Yep. Horror based episode. Lots of jump scares. But it’s AWESOME.

...okay, that young Sam actor (Christian Michael Cooper) has been doing really well, but that “Travis!” shout was really bad acting...

FRICK! DO SOMETHING SAM!

Dude I LOVE how that just went down. Sam rescuing Travis even if it meant putting himself in harm’s way and Dean immediately coming to his rescue. It’s very characteristic of them.

Oh...so it has...fingers. That can be cut off. Which means it isn’t a ghost like I thought it was all this time.

Also great shot with the slicing off of the fingers.

Nice Dean!

Sam holding a protective arm in front of Travis I love it.

Oh frick. It’s the ring. That’s why she’s back. (And hey! We know who the she is now! Still don’t know what she is, but we’ve seen her.)

Wait a second...wasn’t Travis wearing a ring on his necklace? Could it be the same ring?

That’s...that’s weird though. Why would he have kept a ring from the most traumatic moment of his life?

I love that Caitlin’s a hugger and runs to her brother.

That look that Sam and Dena share there is awesome.

OOH! GREAT TRANSITION AGAIN!

Dean, why on EARTH would that have been Sam?

Okay yeah, so this monster is manifesting itself as younger versions of its victims.

Hey Dean, just a thought, but I’m feeling like your instinct that it wasn’t back is the wrong instinct.

OOOOOF.

Ummm...excuse me?

HEEEEEEEY HOLD ON!!!

WHERE IS SAM??!!

SAMUEL WINCHESTER COME SAVE YOUR BROTHER!!!

DEAN STOP!!!!

DEAN!!!!

OH THANK GOD!

HOLY FRICK THAT WAS TOO CLOSE!!

Wait..what? The knife...wasn’t even...real? And Sam didn’t see the monster at all...does this thing make you hallucinate? Cause that’s terrifying.

Yeah no DUH.

My Mom: Well, there’s only one of it, and it can’t imitate them both, so as long as they stay together, they should be fine, right? Me: Yes, theoretically, but when do they ever actually stay together? My Mom: True.

Ummm...our visual just cut out? All we’re seeing is the CW logo. We can hear it though.

Oh shoot it’s starting again. Hopefully this fixes itself soon. At least we can still hear it?

Feelings/hunches are valid, Caitlin. Especially with this kind of thing.

Dean that’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. I can hear you blaming yourself.

Oh good. Visual’s back. Phew. I was getting nervous.

“She’s scary.” Me too girl. XD

She 100% plays with people.

“Lore?” XD That’s hilarious. I’ve gotten so used to them saying it that it doesn’t even occur to me as a weird thing, but that’s a good point that normal people wouldn’t understand what he means. XD

Ope. That’s what he saw.

Yikes...though gotta admit, that was a little less gruesome than I was expecting it to be. Still sad and scary though.

Awww Dean. :( :( :( :( :( :(

God he really has been shoving feelings down all his life. That’s super not healthy, Dean.

Awww...poor Dean! :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(

“We used to keep a lot of secrets from each other.” USED TO? Sam where have you been for the last fifteen years? XD XD

Or is he just referring to this season? Because in that case, that’s a good point. There hasn’t been a lot of lying this season. Well, excluding the fact that Dean is hiding whatever Cas said to him from Sam....

Welp. I can already see that parallel...so you better come clean, Dean!

“Cause I know my brother’s gonna ask”.

HA! Me too, server lady.

BILLIE! JESUS!

“Working a case? Now?” HA! I said the same thing!

...hoh boy. That’s not good. They’ve spent so much time talking about how close he is to being done, but now he’s actually done. That’s...super not good.

Yeah no Billie. We’re not doing that.

So it WAS about Jack! GOOD! Then they’ll all know and they can all stop it! (So Dean tell your brother already.)

YES! Dean is upset about it!! That’s a good sign! Screw you and your plan, Billie!!

HEY!! HOLD ON A SECOND BILLIE! Are you telling me, that you’re the one who put that thought into Jack’s head?? WTF??!! SCREW YOU!!! THAT IS SO NOT OKAY!!! HOW DARE YOU!!! I don’t care HOW badly you want Chuck dead! That manipulation was NOT the way to go!!! I didn’t hate you, but now I do. Now I really really do. Screw you. We’ll find another way.

Yes. You were wrong.

...Dean you better tell her she was wrong.

HA!

Gotta be honest, I can’t believe we’re still having the conversation about Sam and Dean being normal--especially Sam. I mean, I can believe it, because it makes sense, but at this point, it’s just so hilarious to me. Like, “yeah no, that ship sailed a LONG time ago. Sorry girl, but there’s no way Sam’s getting out of it now.” XD XD

Awww... :( :(

Ummm...say what now?

SERIOUSLY Billie??!! SERIOUSLY??!! You’re just gonna...set up our beloved kid to be a bomb and then walk on out?? Wow. Yeah okay I’m really mad at you now, I don��t care if you brought Jack back. Not if this was the endgame. Screw you.

“One Messenger of God’s Destruction right here.” XD XD

YES we have a problem! TELL HER WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!

DEAN!!!

GOD DA**IT DEAN!!! It is not worth sacrificing your SON!! DIDN’T WE ALREADY GO THROUGH THIS??!! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO NOT LETTING ANYONE KILL HIM??!! TO THAT BIRTHDAY PARTY??!! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FORGIVENESS?? TO FAMILY!! HE IS YOUR SON GOSH DARNAT!! ACT LIKE IT!!!

Jesus Christ. This show is making it harder and harder for Dean to be my second favorite character...

He better not let it happen in the end. It better be like what happened with Season 14. No matter how mad he is, he can’t lose Jack. It better stay that way, or I’m gonna be super pissed at him all over again, just like in 14x19.

YOU HEAR ME DEAN?! STOP IT!! DON’T BE AN IDIOT!!

HA! Billie saw RIGHT THROUGH YOU Dean.

Welp. Now I know why Dean hasn’t told Sam. Because Sam is not gonna like it.

You know what Billie? Screw you. Shut the f**k up.

He doesn’t have his house in order. There’s conflict there, and it’s not gonna happen. Shut up, Billie.

Please Dean. Please help me out here. Don’t let your son die. :( :( :( :( :( :(

Wait wait...Baba Yaga? As in...that witch that that security friend dude Kurt is so afraid of in Ant-Man and the Wasp? (Look at me, mixing my fandoms. XD)

So that’s a yes then.

I CALLED IT! I KNEW IT WAS THE RING! (I mean, they kind of made it obvious, but still.)

Oh friiiiick. That’s why she disappeared for a while, but then came back...in time to kill him.

...she’s gonna go get the ring. She must have it.

But also TAKE SAM WITH YOU CAITLIN! ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!

Ummm....

...where’s the ring?

FRICK!

I TOLD YOU TO TAKE SAM WITH YOU!!

She dead.

SAM!

FRIIIIICK!

Oof.

My Mom: NO! Don’t split up! Me: I told you! They never learn. My Mom: They really don’t.

Alright, let’s take bets. Who’s gonna get attacked? Sam, or Dean?

Ope. Looks like it might be Sam.

CALL YOUR BROTHER FIRST GOSH DARNAT! Seriously. You two are the worst.

Oh! Never mind. XD XD

My mom just burst out laughing. XD XD XD

Okay yeah, that was a good comedy reveal. XD XD XD

So...it’ll be Dean then.

Better find your bro quick, Sam.

Oof. The vending machine. Original attack. Must be close.

Dean don’t roll your eyes and act like you never watch (or do) that kind of thing. XD XD

“I’ve seen this movie before.” PROMO! CALLING IT!

YES! I was right! XD XD

I love him.

Okay, so I’m mad at him for the Jack thing, but I still love him okay? He’s just too great. XD <3 <3

DEAN DON’T GO IN ALONE ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

You literally saw it coming.

YEP! EXACTLY!

Okay wait what??

...that’s not what I was expecting.

Wait...hallucinations, right? So that must be what this is.

But...I think he found her nest.

Oh yep. Definitely a hallucination.

One of my favorite things about this show is that any time Sam or Dean has a bad vision/hallucination/nightmare caused by a monster, the other brother is always dead in it. Like, it makes perfect sense for their relationship, and as sad and scary as it is, it works beautifully.

Wow. Yeah I can totally believe that that gave Dean nightmares for the longest time just on that acting alone. Now Dean was terrified even re-living it a little bit. :(

Oof.

Ummm...you know what she is, but CAN YOU KILL HER?

...welp. Guns don’t work. What’s Plan B, Dean??

EEP!

That feels very Pennywise yikes.

HURRY SAM!!

SEE?! THIS is why you shouldn’t split up!

Welp, at least their fighting is loud.

Yep. Hallucination.

Oh. Caitlin isn’t dead. That’s good.

Sam to the rescue.

YES DEAN!

WOW! Now THAT was awesome. The way he smashed that ring, and the shot--it was all beautiful.

WHOA! Green fire. That was cool.

Okay. I liked that monster, and how it went down. Very cool.

Ha!

“You tell the truth more because you know that lies...they don’t make anything better.” My Mom: I have never, ever heard anyone say that about getting older. XD

Yeah I’m with her on this one. Not a great line, but it was definitely in there intentionally to make Dean feel guilty about not telling Sam the truth about Jack. Which means...he’s going to tell him, RIGHT?!

Awww! A sweet little hug again!

THAT TRANSITION!!

I knew she was holding a business card in that promo photo!

...oof.

Yep. Dean’s definitely gonna tell Sam. They showed that scene of him lying to Sam as a kid about the bodies, and they keep talking about how he’s changed. He is definitely going to tell Sam before this episode ends. ...and I bet it’s not gonna go well.

“That I handled it.” XD <3

“WITH A LITTLE HELP!” <3 <3 <3 <3

AWWW DEAN!!! Still being a supportive bro!!

“We do make a good team, right?” “Yeah, we do.” I’M SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO CRY OH MY GOD!!! :’( :’( <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Awww...we don’t actually get to see a version of young John. Just an arm from a stand-in lol.

Nice shot of Sam, though.

AWESOME transition.

Ope. Here it comes.

OOOF!! Dean you better say something, or Cas will!

THERE WE GO!! FINALLY!!

Oooooh...this is gonna be rough.

Ummm....okay. Good start.

THERE YA GO!

Well...okay then. Just...come out with it I guess.

Dean...doesn’t sound happy about that. And he doesn’t seem to be handling it well. I really really really really REALLY hope he doesn’t let it happen. I’m gonna be really upset if he does.

Ope. Here it comes.

Uh-oh...Sam is mad.

Oh FRICK. Wrong answer, Dean.

Dean I’m with Sam on this one.

Oh god...this fight. :’( :’(

DEAN!!!

NOOOOO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!

Oh my god...the way Sam just yelled at him. :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(

That was even worse than I thought it was gonna be holy frick....

“Just drive.” :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(

...well....

God. That was a TERRIBLE ending, Jesus Christ. All the bonding and family teamwork that’s been happening this season just went out the window with that fight.:’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(

I‘ve always loved Dean, obviously, but Jesus Christ dude. Ugh. This better resolve itself. :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(

GOD! Could SPN please STOP with the emotionally charged endings that are hurting my heart! Because this was a DANG GOOD EPISODE, and then they just HAD to do that!! :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’( :’(

Welp...my heart hurts, but review here we come.

I really really loved this episode. I mentioned it already, but I’m really glad we got to see some of Supernatural’s elements of horror in this episode. It was genuinely terrifying at several points in time, and we haven’t had an episode like that in a while.

Also, as I often do, I loved the flashback scenes, and all the subtleties that came with it. One of my favorite things about flashback episodes is getting to see just how close Sam and Dean have always been, and I really love seeing them at different times in their life with how their relationship has changed over the years and how it compares to how they are now. It’s nice to see how much they’ve grown, but also how much about their relationship has stayed the same in the sense of that they still love and care for each other and have such a strong bond. It’s a beautiful thing, and this episode conveyed that really well.

Paxton. Singleton. Oh my god. What. An. Actor. I don’t know if he watched episode after episode of this show before being in this episode, but WOW did he NAIL Dean Winchester. I pointed out several specific instances in my reactions, but seriously, his interpretation of Dean was incredible. I was totally able to believe that that was a younger version of Dean, easily. It was amazing. This show’s casting team will always impress me.

All of that said....let’s address that ending.

Holy frick. God that hurt. First of all, as if I haven’t made this clear enough, I really really need Dean to acknowledge that he loves Jack and can’t lose him so that we don’t lose my precious baby, okay? That’s a thing that definitely needs to happen.

Second of all, I do not at all blame Sam for the way he reacted. In fact, I’m actually really impressed with how upset he got, because it plays so much into what’s been going on this season and what’s bound to come.

At the end of Season 14, our team was divided. Between Dean and Cas’s fight over Mary’s death, Sam and Dean locking Jack in the box, and then Sam and Dean fighting over Dean wanting to kill Jack, our boys were a mess. Then, Jack was dead, and Sam and Dean and Cas were grieving, which meant taking things out on each other and being angry and distraught. But within the first several episodes of Season 15, they started to latch onto each other again, and they stayed that way and only progressed further. For the majority of this season, we have seen them bonding and being a family again. We’ve barely seen them fight, and the only exception to that was Dean and Cas’s tension with each other. However, once they made up in 15x09, everything changed. That’s when the OG team was really back. And then when Jack came back, everyone was together again. They were all starting to learn to be a family and work together to take down their enemy. And, I already analyzed this, but after Last Holiday (15x14), even Dean and Jack’s tension was released, to a degree. Sam and Dean and Jack got to bond, and it felt like everyone was ready to take on the enemy together. And then SPN hit us with this.

With Jack and Cas’s emotional turmoil--Jack feeling like the only way to ever have Sam and Dean forgive him was for him to sacrifice herself. Cue the divide between Cas and Jack.

And then this. Dean hiding something from Sam again. After everything they’ve been through this season, after trusting each other more than anything, learning to communicate with each other again, and having each other’s backs every step of the way with no secrets...Dean hid something. And it tore them apart.

Our team is broken again, and right when we need them to be together the most.

And as much as it hurts my heart and made me break into tears and scares the heck out of me for what’s to come, it makes perfect sense, and it’s beautiful.

Because the next episode is called “Unity”. And that’s exactly the opposite of what we have right now, but the hope and the thought is that, when it comes down to it, they’re still a family, and they all still love each other, and they’re all going to be there for each other, and they’re not gonna let anyone go down without the rest of their family’s support.

At least, that’s what I’m hoping.

And maybe I’m over-analyzing. Maybe I’m being too optimistic or hopeful for my boi Jack’s future. But honestly, I feel like I’m right, because I feel like this is exactly what the writers are going for. And I’m excited to see it.

So, obviously, I loved that episode. It had horror, it had great representation of Sam and Dean’s brotherly relationship, it had flashbacks (our last ones :’( :’( :’( :’( ), and, at the very end, it had some very intense feels. But it was a great set-up, and beautifully done, and I absolutely loved it.

My Rating: 10/10

Okay, I want to pull together more detailed thoughts at some point, I think, because the sheer amount of material means I have about ten billion thoughts to sort out. But I’ve read all three of the mxtx novels now, and loved all of them, in different ways. Though I already tried to figure out if I can pick a Favorite, and tbh, I can’t. I love them all in ways that are too distinct to let me rank them easily. And... man, it’s lucky for my friends that social distancing is in place, or I’d be hassling them shamelessly to give these novels a try.

RIGHT. So.

The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System: Shen Yuan goes to bed full of rage directed at a trashy webnovel with a grimdark blackened hero who conquered the world and collected hundreds of women into his harem.... and wakes up in novel, while that hero is still an innocent youth. As the hero’s abusive teacher. Who is doomed for a horrifying death unless he can somehow turn things around.

I think I had the most fun with this one. I really enjoy self-referential stories, and stories poking fun at certain genres, and I’ve run into the concept of transmigration before (the idea being a person enters a fictional world, a la lost in austen), though I’m blanking on any media like that I’ve actually consumed. This was chronologically the first book mxtx wrote, and it has less of a sprawling cast with complicated relationships than the other two books, but it definitely has the thing where she lays early groundwork for later revelations that shatter my poor heart.

And there may be fewer relationships to play with, but my GOD, do I love the relationships we got. I’ve been rolling around in svsss fanfic since I finished the book, even more so than mdzs or tgcf. There’s a lot of good crunchy relationship content with the 79 ship (they destroy me, all day every day), Liu Qingge owns my whole-ass heart, and Luo Binghe makes for a fascinating love interest. I love that even at his best, he remains a needy, needy, manipulative boy, who’s so smart and strong and nEEDY. I don’t love how the book handled moshang, but mmmm the fan content is Good. And Shen Qingqiu does the unreliable narrator thing that is usually not my jam, but works so WELL in these books, in that his unreliable narration is hugely skewed towards not giving himself nearly as much credit as he deserves. Xie Lian takes this to UNBELIEVABLE heights in tgcf, but in Shen Qingqiu’s case, it’s done on such a casual, immediate, personal level that I’m fascinated by everything he does.

And, since Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu is a millennial fan of trashy romance webnovels who gets yanked into the universe of a novel he hates, into an old-timey xianxia setting, the prose is SO COOL. You swing between modern slang and old school high society courtesies at the drop of a hat, and I’m honestly awed that the translators were able to catch so much of that. Like, in-setting, I love all the nuance you can get in ‘qi-ge should give his a-jiu the scroll’ vs ‘yue-shixiong should give this teacher the scroll’ vs ‘you should give me the scroll’. But then it adds a whole new layer when the person ALSO has modern-day casual speech bouncing around in their head. It makes for a fascinating, fascinating reading experience.

The Grandmaster Of Demonic Cultivation: Thirteen years ago, Wei Wuxian died. And then he wakes up! In someone else’s body. I’m not going to try to summarize the premise of this one, go look up The Untamed if you want someone to do a better job of this than me XD

Ahhh, this was the book I read first. I still haven’t watched the show (only clips) and I’m not sure I ever will, because adhd is a hell of a drug. But it’s hard to purely evaluate the prose when there’s also this gorgeous, beautifully-acted visual adaptation all over my tumblr to bias me in its favor. I think this book benefits a lot from the MYSTERY of it all. From the very start, there’s the question of ‘what the fuck is up with this goddamn arm’ that the characters pursue, even as that takes them through flashbacks and other arcs within the story. It gives a thrust to the novel that I think isn’t exactly there in tgcf, though I’m torn on which one is “better.” This gave the story momentum, yes, but it also meant I was much more impatient in yi city and the 3zun flashbacks, because this isn’t what I was focused onnnnnn this is cool but how much longer will we BE HERE--

That being said, I think I’ll be more patient with those flashbacks on my next time through the book, now that I have a better picture of where everything is headed. I think the balance and structure of the book worked really well, I was setting myself up for self-sabotage because of the pace I was plowing through the thing. My reading habits didn’t lend themselves well to the nonlinear storytelling, and it speaks to the story’s strength that it held up that well despite me. And the CAST. My GOD. I went in not caring about anyone but Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji and maybe the jackass nephew, but... that Did Not Last. I didn’t intend to care about 3zun? Nope, too bad, you care so much now. Who cares about Xue Yang? Me. I care. Way too much. HECK!!!

And something that happens in this book and tgcf that was much less of a thing in svsss is that there are some meaningful holes in the story that I’d like to be filled, and I really care about filling-- and the story doesn’t go there. But it doesn’t leave me unhappy, it leaves me cheerfully scrabbling around in the throwaway details trying to piece together a picture of what happened when I wasn’t looking. What happened to Wei Wuxian in the burial mounds? How did Hua Cheng take control of the ghost city? Idk, but let us Rummage and theorize and roll around in ideas and have a fantastic, speculative time. Svsss might hook me more than the other stories from an au+shipping perspective, but mdzs and tgcf do a great job of making me want to roll around and create within the bounds of canon.

Heaven Official’s Blessing: 800 years ago, Xie Lian ascended to heaven. And fell. And rose again! And fell again. Now he’s ascended for the third time, and things are Awkward.

God, I just finished this, and I’m still reeling. This is the LONGEST mxtx book, that’s for sure. I also think it’s the most tightly edited translation. All the translators did an unbelievable job, I could never even approach what they accomplished, but I am genuinely stunned that a book this long was edited so well. I blew through this in about 3.5 days (if not for work, i could have made it in three dghsafdsgf) and my brain was cooking in my skull by the time I was halfway through, but I couldn’t STOP. I was ENCHANTED the entire time! I was reading so much my head was destroying me and I still sulked so HARD every time I had to put my phone down and sleep.

This book sprawls the hardest, I think, because it involves a cast made of mostly immortal/immortal-adjacent people, so time and space get... flexible. And I feel really bad saying this, because Lan Wangji is DEVOTED, but this is seriously the book with the most attentive and adoring and respectful love interest. Hua Cheng is..... god. I truly don’t think I’ve EVER read a character quite like him before, and I am so, so sad, because I don’t know how I’ll find one who lives up to these heights ever again XD I recommend reading this book just for the Hua Cheng experience, if nothing else. I was making audible noises at literally flailing at multiple points in the story, but most often, it was because of him.

Shipping is what usually drags me into a fandom hardest, and all of these books do pretty well for themselves, all of them have a nice selection of fluffy and crunchy ships to choose from. And this one... goddammit. I just realized, that the best, most crunchy ships are too spoilery for me to be willing to talk about them here. Hell. Goddammit. But I think tgcf has the crunchiest ship of all, even better than xuexiao. I was so invested, and then there were Reveals, and then I was like OH NO THIS IS TERRIBLE BUT MY INVESTMENT HAS EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED.

And something that I really, really appreciate, is that across the mxtx books, even though a lot of characters fit into strong archetypes, there’s nobody that is blurring together for me, either within or across the books. Liu Qingge isn’t Jiang Cheng isn’t Feng Xin. They’re all blunt, fighty boys, but all super distinct in my head, and what I want for each of them is distinct and character-driven. I want Liu Qingge to be properly cherished and I want Jiang Cheng to relax with his brother and nephew and I want Feng Xin to [goddammit i don’t want to spoil this book AGH]. It’s something I appreciated in the other books too, but I can really FEEL it in this book, with how long and luxurious it is.

And last thing I have to say, I think, is that tgcf is so long. It’s so, so long. But I would FITE if anyone tried to pare it down at all. I can’t think of anything I’d be willing to sacrifice. I enjoyed every last piece of it so much, and it was all ultimately SO well-constructed and interlocking, that any piece I can think of snipping out would take away significant emotional impact from what was left. It’s a nonlinear story, like mdzs is nonlinear, and I loved mdzs a lot! But the construction here is so, so, so elegant. I’m just in AWE of how well it was assembled. I was in Agony as reveals happened, because oh no no no no, now that they’ve told me this, that casts this whole other scene in a brand new light! The one I read hundreds of thousands of words ago! Literally, I need to go start the book over so I can savor the shitty teens in new ways, given [redacted] as revealed in like, the last twenty percent of the book. The book was a fun experience, but there’s so Much here that I know I haven’t even absorbed yet. I loved the other mxtx books a lot, and in many ways, they were easier to get a grasp on than tgcf was, but even before I finished tgcf I was already despairingly trying to figure out how easily I could fit a full reread into my life, and I think that says a lot

#tgcf #mdzs #svsss #long post/#[sad journaling noises as i realize that whatever ridiculous wordcount tgcf has still only counts as one completed book on my list]#i need to get an actual wordcount at some point #then stack up enough physical books to visually represent each of these monsters #i know i read a lot #enough that i very much want to know *how much* i read #because CHRIST

Don’t Trust a Foxowl...

How could a day go so horribly wrong, so fast? - Scott Tracy. (Okay, I’m doing more Tracy Elves! XD I hope you guys like the drawing and fic XD)

Scott pov.

He jumped between branches, making his way up to the high platform his family owned. There were easier ways to get to it, he didn’t need to climb but he found this more fun, more exciting.

Though his mother and father would have a fit if they knew, he thought to himself with a small grin as he made the jump from one giant branch to another, his leather satchel swinging about in the wind. He wasn’t stupid, he wasn’t climbing over open air, he was just taking a shortcut, nothing for them to panic about…

He was almost one hundred and forty,(14) he wasn’t a little Elfling anymore, he could look after himself, he thought as he dropped down onto the platform, dropping his bag on the floor, his parchment and bottle of ink spilling out.

He loved this place…He thought as he closed his eyes and took in the fresh air, his big pointy ears taking in the sounds of the birds singing and chirping. He grinned as he took in the wonderful view, this was one of the best places to watch a sunset…

There were a couple more platforms where the canopy gave way to this amazing view, one of them being within climbing distance to the one he was on now, he thought as he spotted his brother Virgil on the other platform, his art supplies scattered around him.

Should have known Virg would be out here, he thought with a chuckle as he sat down on the timber floor of the platform. He grabbed his parchment and opened his ink bottle, dipping the tip of his quill into the ink, getting to work on his homework.

———

He almost had his homework finished when he heard something landed on the platform. He looked up in surprise, his eyes widening as he spotted a foxowl sitting just a metre away from him, looking at him curiously.

He had heard stories and seen paintings of foxowls, his father said they could not be trusted, that they were sneaky little thieves. His mother said they were just very curious creatures, they didn’t mean any harm. They weren’t known to live around this area, so to see one right in front of him was a surprise.

“Um hi there..” he said softly, giving the creature an uneasy smile, feeling uncertain about the whole situation. Foxowls wasn’t known to be aggressive towards elves but they were still a wild animal and those teeth did look really sharp.

“Um, what are you doing so far from…from where you live, um little guy?” The bird wasn’t actually that little, it was nearly as big as him but he couldn’t think of anything else to call it, okay?

The foxowl cooed softly at him, tilting its head as it hopped closer to him. He swallowed nervously, his left ear starting to twitch rapidly, a nervous tick that he hasn’t grown out of yet…

The foxowl sniffed his bag, looking between him and it with a curious look. It cooed at him again and he could feel himself relaxing slightly, it was just curious, it wasn’t going to do him any harm, he thought with a small smile, having a good look at the beautiful bird, It was actually kind of cute.

The foxowl clawed at his bag slightly, chipping and cooing at him. He raised a confused eyebrow, “That’s my satchel bag, my dad got it for m-“ The Foxowl snatched up the satchel in its claws, preparing to fly away.

His eyes widened in horror, “Hey! No! Give that back!” He jumped at the bird, grabbing its legs and pulling it down to the ground before it could getaway.

But that turned out to be a mistake because a foxowl was a lot stronger than one little elfling and it had sharper claws and teeth than he did...

“Argh! No! it’s not yours! give it back!” He cried out as he struggled to hold the bird, sharp claws and teeth scratching at his skin, blood starting to seep out of his wounds. “Ahh! No! Stop it! Ow, give it bac-agh!” It scratched his cheek, barely missing his eye. The pain was intense, the cut was deep.

He needed help! This thing was going to get away or...or kill him, he needed help! Right now but who- “Virgil! Virrrrgggil! Virgil help!” He cried loudly, not being able to hide the fear that was in his voice as he tussled all over the platform with the creature.

His call didn’t go unanswered and only moments later, his brother and best friend appeared, “Scott, what the matte-what the heck is that?!” Virgil exclaimed, his brown eyes widening in alarm.

“Asks questions later! It has my s-Ahhgh!” The foxowl bit his arm, making him lost his grip as he cried out in pain. He made a mad dash after it, not caring that he was starting to bleed really badly now, “help me!”

Virgil tried to help him corner the bird but it was too late, the foxowl had flown out of their reach, steadily flying away from them, his satchel in its claws...

“Um, maybe it will come back?” Virgil suggested softly, trying to stay hopeful for him.

The Foxowl dropped his satchel, his bag starting to fall and fall until it hit the hard ground so very far below, hundreds of miles from their colony, in doom’s valley…

There was no way they were getting that back, he thought with wide eyes, gaping at where his satchel had fallen. Of all the places…

Dad was going to be mad…

He unintentionally whimpered out loud, just the thought of that place made him shiver with fear, though if questioned he’ll never admit to being scared of that place. He wasn’t scared by scary stories, no way…

Virgil glanced at him, deep concern filling his brother’s eyes.

His wounds were starting to sting now, making their angry presence known to him but at the same time, he was beginning to feel numb, fuzzy in the head. He couldn’t get his head around what had just happened…

What the heck had just happened?!

He jumped as Virgil touched his arm, startling him out of his thoughts. “Scott, are you okay?” His little brother’s voice shook slightly, “You’re covered in blood and ink..”

He was about to reassure his brother that he was fine but stopped short as he realised what Virgil had said.“Wait, ink?” He blinked at Virgil, that numb feeling really taking hold now.

He turned to look at where he had left his homework and found his neatly written homework covered in ink, completely ruined and un-legible. That had taken him hours to do! He was almost done!

He felt suddenly faint headed and violently sick to his stomach, swaying slightly on his feet. You know that feeling where you just want to start crying because everything has just gone so wrong, so fast? So fast that you don’t know how to react?

Yeah, he was feeling that…

“Virg, please tell me what just happened didn’t just happen?” He asked softly as he looked at the mess that used to be his almost completed homework, blinking rapidly to keep his tears at bay. “Please tell me a foxowl didn’t just fly away with my satchel…”

His little brother winced, taking a firm hold of his arm. “I think the scratches on your cheeks speak for themselves, Scooter..” Virgil tugged him towards the staircase that led down to their house and the other social spaces. “Come on, mum needs to have a look at those cuts!”

“But we can’t leave this mess here..” He protested weakly, starting to feel really horrible and sick. Maybe that was why he wasn’t putting up much of a fight as Virgil practically dragged him to their house, “We...we need to clean it up..”

“I’ll clean it up later, you’re bleeding!” Virgil frowned at him as he continued to drag him, “what the heck Scott? Why did you jump on that thing?! Dad could always get you a new satchel..”

He wrinkled his nose, even in the state of shock he was in, he still didn’t like being scrutinised by his little brothers. Even if they were right, that just made it worse…

“I couldn’t have just let it get away and...and anyway, He’s never going to believe me..” he muttered softly, his voice quivering as he ran a shaky hand through his hair, “a foxowl! A foxowl stole my satchel!? What the heck just happened?!”

“I would like to know that as well!” Their mother’s voice made him jump as he suddenly realised that they were home, and before he knew it, his mother was in front of him, fussing over him, “What the heck happened to you, Scotty?!”

A blink and the waterworks started full force, his walls crumbling to pieces.

“T-there was an f-foxowl…” he sobbed, ”-and it stole m-my sat-satchel! A-and m-my homework ruined!” He cried, salty tears streaming down his face, making his cuts hurt worse. “Everything hurts mummy!”

He was feeling every bit the young elfling, that he didn’t want to admit he was.

“Oh, oh my Scotty..” his mother pulled him into an embrace, stroking his brown hair gently as he sobbed into her collarbone, “Shhh, I’m here, everything’s going to be okay now..”

His mother gently guided him over to a wooden bench, sitting him down gently on it. Now that he had started crying, he couldn’t stop! Why couldn't he stop? He sobbed as his mother stroked a bit of hair out of his teary, wet eyes.

Her brown eyes looked at him with motherly concern, “Virgie, can you get me a wet cloth, please sweetheart?” His mother asked, a concerned and slightly teary-eyed Virgil, who had followed them over to the bench, standing slightly to the side.

Virgil nodded with a sniffle, turning and running to get that wet cloth.

He bit his lip, trying to make himself stop crying but the stinging pain of his wounds, plus now the guilt that he had caused his little brother to get upset, made that nearly impossible.

His mother lifted his chin slightly, looking at a cut on his cheek with a worried frown, “I’m going to have to call the healer, okay sweetie?” His mother sighed softly, gently stroking his hair back. “Those cuts and bites are way out of my medical expertise, you’re lucky you didn’t lose your eye, Scott..”

“I..I know..” he sniffled, rubbing at his eyes with his fist, starting to feel really sick now “I’m sorry..”

“Oh it’s alright, Scotty baby..” his mother gently kissed his forehead, bending down slightly so she was eye level with him, a feat that was not easy for a pregnant woman, “You didn’t mean to get hurt, those things just happen…”

Virgil came back a second later with the cloth, which his mother took and started dabbing on his wounds, cleaning them the best she could. He couldn't help but whimper each time the cloth made contact with his bleeding wounds, it hurt so much...

His little brother watched off to the side, his damp eyes filled with concern. He hated that he had caused his brother so much concern, why did he pick a fight with a foxowl over a bloody satchel?

He was starting to break out in a cold sweat, “Mummy, I don’t feel good..” he mumbled softly to her as his stomach flipped upside down. He was feeling really nauseous now…

”Shhh, I know dear…” his mother sighed sadly as she cleaned a particularly deep cut on the side of his torso with care. “Virgil, can you go get your father, please?”

He felt himself bite his lip at the mention of their father, Dad was going to be so mad at him, but worst of all, Dad was going to be worried. He was already worrying his mother and brother, did he have to worry his father too?

Virgil nodded, running off to find their father.

“I’m going to call for the healer now, okay Scotty?” His mother said gently, cupping his uninjured cheek tenderly. “You just stay there and try to stay calm, okay?”

He nodded with a small sniffle as he watched his mother write a quick note on a piece of parchment, before summing a small ball of blue energy, which flew out the window in the shape of a small bird with the message in its claws.

He hoped the healer would come quick, he thought as he tilted slightly to the side, feeling so ill now. He really was not feeling good...

A Clash of Ice and Storm

Well, this turned out really long, the longest Jackunzel short I’ve ever written, lol. But it’s finally done!! And I’m so happy with it!! I might need to tweak a bit here and there, but I’m calling this done and submitting it. XD Hope you all like it!! (Also, can you figure out who’s playing the powerful beings? It’s based on the Snow Queen fairy tale, and Elsa’s not in the role of Snow Queen. Hints are in the tags. ;P)

Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of Corona, lived a princess named Rapunzel and a peasant named Jack. Since his mother was a maid in the palace, Jack was allowed to partake in Rapunzel’s schooling. He became her closest friend and dear playmate because of it. They liked to play in Rapunzel’s little greenhouse where their days were filled with laughter and learning, that, is, until one year. Unbeknownst to them, there was an evil witch who lived in the sky and she delighted in bringing torment and pain to people around the world. That year, her cloud was traveling over Corona when she spotted Jack and Rapunzel playing in the greenhouse. With an evil grin, she picked her victim as the clouds began to darken. She sent a bolt of lightning and it struck Jack. Pieces of the lightning turned into glass, a piece getting stuck in his right eye and another becoming imbedded in his heart.

“Jack!” called out Rapunzel with worry as Jack yelped in pain. She rushed to his side. “Jack! Are you alright?”

Jack began rubbing at his eye. “I’m fine.”

“Is there something in your eye?”

Jack pushed her away. “I’m fine!” Rapunzel stared at him in shock. “I’m going home.”

“S-see, see you tomorrow?” Jack gave no reply as he stomped out of the greenhouse. Rapunzel had no clue what had happened and sat down in the greenhouse to process everything. They had been playing hide-and-seek when Jack cried out. Had he pricked his finger on a thorn again? He had always told her he was fine when she asked, but never as rudely as he did just now. Maybe a good night’s sleep was what he needed. Rapunzel went into the castle, thinking it best not to worry, but there was a nagging at the back of her mind that told her she should be worried.

She went to check up on him the next day, but she found to her dismay that he wasn’t there and his mother didn’t know where he was. His mother didn’t see him come home that night either. Rapunzel came back every day to check up on Jack, and his mother giving the same worried answer, though it had become evident that he would come back home after his mother was sound asleep. As soon as Rapunzel got the answer, she took to looking for him as quickly as she could before needing to get back to the castle. After two weeks of worry, her parents sent out guards to search for him, but Rapunzel kept up her own search in her free time. Finally, one day, she found him, and her heart sank. He was hanging out with the Stabbington twins, the most notorious and horrid people she had ever met. But all thought of them was pushed to the side when she saw Jack jumping into a lake. Since it was late autumn, the lake was very cold, and Rapunzel let out a scream as she rushed forward. He was going to freeze to death!

“Jack! Come out of that lake this instant!” she shouted. Jack swam to the shore and shot her a mischievous grin. There was something of an evil glint to his eyes that made Rapunzel shiver.

“Care to join me?” he said as he reached his hand out to Rapunzel.

Rapunzel snuck a glance at the Stabbington twins, they were getting closer. She turned back to Jack, and those blue eye, those eyes that had once been filled with love for her now seemed to be filled with hate. A rage filled her, and reached forward. Rapunzel grabbed his hand, but before he could pull her into the lake, she yanked him clear out of the lake and the two went sprawling onto the ground. The Stabbingtons took a few steps back as Rapunzel and Jack got up.

Jack growled as he glared at her. “So, you’re stronger than you look. Won’t help you again.”

Rapunzel returned the glare. “Jack, you’re coming home with me, right now!”

Jack laughed cruelly. “You can’t make me. And I don’t want to go back to your boring home!”

“Jack, please, you’re going to get yourself killed!” She let out a gasp as little flurries fell to the ground. The four teens glanced up at the sky. “It’s the first snow of the year,” whispered Rapunzel. She glanced back at Jack. “You really have to come with me now.” She grabbed his arms and began pulling him away from the lake. “It’s getting colder.” She turned and paused, the Stabbington brothers were standing in her way.

“You heard him, he doesn’t want to go back to your boring home,” taunted one as they stepped forward.

“He’d rather stay here with us,” said the other. “And have some real fun.”

“Real fun doesn’t involve nearly killing yourselves,” retorted Rapunzel. She let out a shriek as the twins grabbed her arms.

“Well then, you haven’t had much fun, have you?” said one with a grin.

Rapunzel wrangled her arms free and turned, running into Jack. “Jack, let’s go, please!” She grasped at his shirt, right as the Stabbingtons grabbed her arms again.

“I think a dunking will be good for you.”

“Are you sure?” They glanced at Jack. “She is the princess after all. Do you really want to anger the king?”

“Just a quick dunk,” said one twin.

“We won’t let go of her, promise,” said the other. They tried to drag her away, but she held onto Jack’s shirt.

“No!” she cried out as all three boys tried to wrestle Jack’s shirt out of her hands. There was a brief struggle, but the Stabbingtons yanked Jack’s shirt out of Rapunzel’s hands, the momentum sending Jack sprawling on the ground. This dislodged the piece of glass from his heart, for a little while. Jack yelped in pain, especially when the piece worked to get back into his heart. But he was in control of himself, if only for a little while. His head snapped up when Rapunzel screamed. The Stabbingtons had nearly dragged her all the way to the lake. He jumped up and ran towards them.

“Wait!” They paused and glanced at him, but Rapunzel knew she had her Jack back. “I think I should do the honors.” Rapunzel’s eyes widened, no.

The Stabbingtons grinned cruelly. “You have a point.”

“Go for it.”

Jack nodded before glancing at Rapunzel. His arms shot out, and the brothers found themselves flailing in the lake, while Rapunzel stood staring at Jack in surprise.

“Jack?”

Jack grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the lake. But they only got a few feet before Jack began to double over in pain from the shard trying to take back control.

“Jack! Jack, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”

Jack grunted. “I, I don’t know. But I know that, once this pain goes away, I’m going to hate you for no reason. That’s not me Rapunzel. And, and I don’t know how to stop it. I don’t even know how I can be me right now. The last . . . ungh!” Jack paused as he gasped for breath, fighting the shard with everything he had , though he knew it would win eventually.

“Jack!”

Jack put his hand to stop her from coming closer. “Just go, Rapunzel, please, go! I’ll draw them away.” He glanced at her. “You have to find a way to bring me back, you have to. I don’t want to be like this forever.”

“I’m going to kill you, Overland!”

Jack glanced back at the lake before turning and pushing Rapunzel forward. “Go!” He turned and ran in the opposite direction. He had a good head start before the Stabbingtons saw him and took off after him. Rapunzel, now determined more than ever, turned and dashed back to the village. She nearly ran into the royal guard on horseback, accompanied by her parents and Mrs. Overland.

“Rapunzel! Are you alright?” asked her father as he and her mother pulled her into the safety of their arms.

“I’m fine, but Jack’s not! Something is dreadfully wrong with him, and, and the Stabbingtons are going to kill him!”

“Wait, what?”

“Jack pushed them into the lake to keep them from harming me, but now they’re chasing him!”

“Go! Find the boy and bring him to us!” ordered the king.

“Yes sir!” chorused the guards before climbing on their steeds and raced off towards the lake.

Rapunzel broke down, now understanding that something was keeping her Jack away from her. Her parents and Mrs. Overland asked her what was wrong, so she told them everything as they made their way back to the castle. When they reached the castle, they were silent.

The queen broke the silence. “I think I have heard of such a thing, happening before.”

Rapunzel glanced up at her with hope. “Really?”

Her mother nodded. “Yes, my nursemaid told me tales of a witch living in the clouds who used thunderstorms as a cover to cause evil on the world. Not every thunderstorm hid her, but it was wise to be cautious, just in case.”

Rapunzel gasped. “There was a thunderstorm when this started!”

Mrs. Overland gasped. “Oh no.”

The queen sighed. “It is as I feared, she is real then. I had long believed that she wasn’t, but now . . . come, we should check the library to see if there are any tales of people breaking her curse on them.”

“Or if there is anyone out there who can help us find out,” said the king. The queen nodded before leading the group into the library to look. The rest of the servants served them dinner and coffee in the library, so they could keep searching. Rapunzel, despite her best efforts, eventually fell asleep. But the adults kept searching all through the night.

Meanwhile, three figures returned to the lake, two of them dragging the third.

“Come on, guys, I don’t know!” said Jack.

“Yeah, that’s the problem,” said one twin, keeping a tight grip on Jack’s arm, “first you’re all buddy-buddy with the princess.”

“Then you start hanging out with us earlier this month,” said the other.

“And today, you’re all sweet on the princess again, and you knocked us into the lake.” He paused as they reached the lake’s shore. “Only right to return the favor.”

“Yeah, well . . . agh!” The twins tossed Jack into the lake. The freezing temperature sent a shock through Jack’s body, and he swam back to the surface as quickly as possible. He came up for a second for air, but was shoved back under by two pairs of arms. He fought them as best as he could, but his arms were becoming numb quickly, as well as his legs. There was a pain in his chest as the lake chilled him to the bone. The pain made him fight as hard as he could, but the Stabbingtons were just as insistent as keeping him under water. He knew he wouldn’t last for long, his body was becoming numb quick.

“Let go of him,” said a voice. The Stabbingtons glanced behind themselves and saw a lone figure dressed in a red and white uniform. Dark hair fell almost to his shoulders and his pale skin wasn’t flushed red from the cold. His indigo eyes narrowed as he said threateningly, “Let go of him.”

The Stabbingtons glanced at each other before letting go of Jack, and charging the guy. But the guy jumped high and cleared their heads. He landed behind them and quickly pulled Jack out of the freezing water. The Stabbingtons turned and tried to rush the guy again, but he was already on his feet and facing them. With two well-aimed, strong kicks, the Stabbingtons were sent sprawling across the ground. The guy turned back to Jack as he coughed up water.

“Is he alright?” asked a woman from the other side of the lake. She was standing beside a pure white sleigh with blue frosty designs that was pulled by two large wolves.

“He’s alive, but barely.”

The Stabbingtons stared in shock as the woman walked across the lake, the lake freezing to ice under her feet. She knelt by Jack, and kissed his forehead. Jack seemed to be able to breathe easier. “That should keep the shard from getting any further into his heart.” She stood up and glanced across the lake. “Take him to the sleigh and bundle him up.”

“Yes ma’am,” said the guy as he picked up Jack gently and carried him across the frozen lake to the sleigh. The woman turned towards the Stabbingtons, and walked gracefully towards them. They could see her better now, and stared in awe. Her skin was as dark as wood, her hair looked as white and as fluffy as newly fallen snow, and her eyes were as blue as a clear, winter morning.

“Wow, you’re beautiful,” one twin finally said. The two yelped as two icicles grew quickly, aimed at their faces.

“And deadly,” she said. “But don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you. I need you to take a message to the princess.”

“But, but, who are you?”

Her blue eyes seemed to flash as she answered, “The Snow Queen.”

The next morning, the Stabbingtons were in an audience with the royal family and Mrs. Overland. The guards had found them in the wee hours of the morning and brought them immediately to the castle. The Stabbingtons quickly gave the message that the Snow Queen had Jack, that Rapunzel could find her castle in far north where the snow never melts, and that she was to come alone. Rapunzel was frightened by the idea of Jack being with the Snow Queen, but she was determined to help her friend, no matter what. There was a flurry of activity in the castle that day. Provisions were made, clothes were packed, goodbyes were said, and a horse was saddled. Rapunzel was thrilled that her parents were so supportive of her. A guard would travel with her through the forest a ways, but they would leave her at the border of the country. After that, she would be completely on her own.

Early the next morning, Rapunzel left the castle after some final farewells from her parents and Mrs. Overland. She and two guards rode on for several days, the guards eventually staying with her for a little longer. But soon, they had parted, and Rapunzel continued on alone. Things were going pretty well, until a freak storm scared her horse away. Rapunzel realized it had to have been the witch’s doing, as the storm seemed to chase after her rather than her horse. Rapunzel began to panic, the witch was determined to stop her! Not only that, but it was the same lightning. Rapunzel hadn’t noticed it before, but the lightning that hit Jack and the lightning that was chasing her now, had a purple hue to it. She screamed as she ran helter skelter, trying to keep the lightning from hitting her, until one came straight at her.

“Stay down!” A young man with a shield lept in between her and the lightning. The lightning bounced off the shield and cracked a tree in half. “Come on!” The young man grabbed her arm and, keeping the shield between them and the witch, the two ran all the way to a gate. The gate was opened by a lady in a green dress and long, brown hair.

“Hurry!” she called out to them. The two made a mad dash for the gates, and jumped in. The lady in green quickly closed the gates behind them, right as another bolt of lightning came screaming through the air towards them. The bolt hit the gates with a thunderous crash, but the gates held, and the assault seemed to stop.

“Why . . . why has she stopped?” asked Rapunzel, panting for breath.

“This is one of a few places that she can’t touch,” said the lady in green as she helped Rapunzel to her feet. “My power is protecting it.”

“Um, OK . . . and you are?”

“The Summer Lady,” she said with a smile. She held out her hand to the young man as he rose to stand next to her. “And this is my guard, and dearest friend, the Sun Prince.”

Rapunzel curtsied as the Sun Prince bowed. “A pleasure to meet you, your highness.”

“The pleasure is all mine,” said the Sun Prince with a wink and a grin. Now that Rapunzel wasn’t running for her life, she could get a better look at her two saviors. The Summer Lady had brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, brown eyes, was about the same height as Rapunzel, maybe a little shorter, and had a crown of flowers on her head. The Sun Prince had tan skin, brown hair, blue eyes, a lopsided grin, and was taller than both the Summer Lady and Rapunzel. He was wearing a blue and white guard uniform. Rapunzel began to tear up, he reminded her so much of Jack.

“Oh, um, what’s wrong?” he asked.

“You remind me of Jack!” blurted Rapunzel before breaking down and sobbing.

The Summer Lady bent down and hugged Rapunzel. “Your friend Jack?”

“Is with the Snow Queen!”

“Oh yes, I know.”

Rapunzel stopped crying and glanced at the Summer Lady in surprise. “You, you know? How?”

The Summer Lady smiled. “Oh, the Snow Queen and I are friends, actually, and we send messages by mice as often as possible. Don’t worry about Jack right now, he’s safe with her. Just like you’re safe with us.”

“But, I have to get to him, and save him!”

“I know, but I have to get you ready.”

Rapunzel blinked. “Ready? Ready for what?”

“To enter into the Snow Queen’s kingdom. There’s no way you would be able to survive that harsh land without her or my help.”

Rapunzel sniffed. “Then, how can I enter?”

The Summer Lady patted her shoulder. “I have a very special flower that not only will it keep you warm, it will also protect you from that witch. But, you must eat it first and wait a while for the flower to become a part of you.”

“How, how will that work?”

The Summer Lady shrugged. “Guess we’re going to have to wait and find out. You’re the first person to do this.”

“Is it safe?”

“Oh, perfectly. See, this flower has the power to heal and protect, so you’ll be perfectly fine.”

“Oh, um, alright. How long will it take?”

The Summer Lady and the Sun Prince glanced at each other. The Summer Lady glanced back at Rapunzel as she let out a sigh. “A few months, at least.”

Rapunzel’s eyes widened. “A few months? But what about Jack?” she exclaimed.

The Summer Lady placed a hand on Rapunzel’s shoulder. ‘He’s in the safest place he can be at this moment. I can assure you the Snow Queen is taking good care of him until you arrive.”

“Ugh,” muttered Rapunzel, “why couldn’t she have just brought him to me instead of me having to go to her?”

“Because through this journey, you will find the key to saving him.”

“Wait, you mean, you don’t know what it is?”

The Summer Lady shook her head. “No, you have it. You just need to pinpoint what it is within you that can save him. Only you can find the key to saving him.”

Rapunzel let out a sigh. “Alright, let’s get this over with.”

The Summer Lady nodded as she took Rapunzel’s hand and led her towards a quaint castle followed by the Sun Prince. The castle was small, smaller than Rapunzel’s castle. “Yes, let’s. The faster we can get you to Jack, the better. The Snow Queen will do everything she can, but there’s only so much she can do.” Rapunzel nodded as she followed her into the castle. She gasped when they entered the sitting room. There, sitting on the coffee table, was a glowing, golden flower in a pot.

“What, what kind of flower is this?” asked Rapunzel in awe as she stepped forward to inspect it.

“It’s a drop of the sun,” replied the Sun Prince as he approached the table. “It, unfortunately, was used by some people to keep them young and they kept it hidden from the rest of the world so they can keep using it for themselves. So, I brought it here, and we’ve been looking after it ever since,” he said as he draped his arm around the Summer Lady, “waiting for the right person to give it to, and for the right reasons. Looks like it’s you, Rapunzel.”

“Me? But, but why?”

The Summer Lady took her hand. “Because you are not thinking about yourself, but your friend.”

“And as long as you only use the flower’s powers to help others,” said the Sun Prince, “you will never lose its powers. But the instant you start using it for your own gain, the flower will revert back into a sundrop and return to me. Are we clear on that?”

Rapunzel nodded vigorously. “Yes sir.”

The Sun Prince grinned. “Good.” He turned to the Summer Lady. “Shall we prepare the tea?”

She nodded, smiling. “Yes.” The Sun Prince picked the flower while the Summer Lady got a pot of water boiling.

“Um, do you need my help with anything?” asked Rapunzel.

The Summer Lady shook her head. “No, we’re good. Why don’t you go lay down and rest for a bit. We’ll let you know when the tea is done.”

“And we’ll be having supper soon,” said the Sun Prince with a grin.

“Are you sure?”

“We’re good,” said the Summer Lady and the Sun Prince in unison.

“Alright,” said Rapunzel. She went to sit down on the sofa and watched the two practically dance around each other in the kitchen. She smiled as the Sun Prince began teasing the Summer Lady. It wasn’t long before peals of laughter echoed through the house as the two continued to dance around each other in the kitchen. The Sun Prince then got into some hilarious antics, and Rapunzel wanted to laugh and cry. He really reminded her so much of Jack. If it weren’t for the fact that the Sun Prince had darker skin than Jack, she would have thought they were twins. A few minutes later, when dinner was on the table, the three sat down almost out of breath. Rapunzel finally gave into her cheer and laughed as long and as hard as she could. But though she still worried about Jack, there was a smile on her face, and she was glad. Jack always liked to see her smile. The three chatted gaily over dinner and until Rapunzel finished her tea. They chatted for a little while longer before Rapunzel was sent off to bed. The next morning, the beginning of the effects of the flower could be seen, Rapunzel’s hair had turned golden.

Rapunzel stayed with the Sun Prince and the Summer Lady until they were satisfied that Rapunzel’s hair had the full effects of the flower. It took a good two years. During that time, the Sun Prince and the Summer Lady taught her many things about plants and how to use the powers that now resided in her hair. The Summer Lady would show her the science behind caring for different flowers, while the Sun Prince showed her the art of arranging the garden and bouquets. Also during that time, the Snow Queen would send them mail, telling them of Jack’s condition. It kept Rapunzel steady, happy to know that he wasn’t in any danger of being completely taken over by the shard of glass in his heart. The Snow Queen had managed to get the shard out of his eye, but it was up to Rapunzel to get the one out of his heart.

When Rapunzel left, it was a teary farewell. She had become quite close with the Sun Prince and the Summer Lady, and they with her. But she needed to continue on to save Jack, and so she left, with a bag of supplies and her now golden, magical hair. They did promise to help her whenever she called for them.

Rapunzel continued on north for several weeks without seeing anyone. Until the day two men stepped out from behind a pair of trees. She stopped in her tracks and glanced between the two, feeling quite uneasy. The two looked practically identical, except one had sideburns. There was something else, they looked oddly familiar.

“What do we have here?” said one. Rapunzel’s eyes widened. She knew that voice. These were the Stabbington brothers! What were they doing all the way out here?

“What’s a pretty little lady doing all alone in the forest?” said the other as the two circled her. They paused as they got a really good look at her. “Wait, do we know you?”

“Ugh, will you two quit it!”

Rapunzel let out a soft breath of relief as another young man, much better looking than the Stabbingtons, appeared on the scene. He paused when he saw Rapunzel.

“Well hello there.”

Rapunzel gave a nervous smile and a shaky wave. “H-hi.”

“What’s a little lady like you doing all the way out here, and all alone?”

The Stabbingtons groaned. “We just asked her that, you idiot,” said one.

“She was about to answer when you interrupted.”

“Oh, well I’m sorry I couldn’t hear your whispers ten feet away. But that’s not why I’m here.” The Stabbingtons glanced at the newcomer. “Nick wants everyone back at the base. He has new orders.”

“What about her?” said one of the Stabbingtons as he pointed at Rapunzel.

“She’s coming too.” Rapunzel blinked in surprise. The guy sighed. “Come on blondie. The least we can do is give you a place to sleep tonight.”

Rapunzel brightened. “If it’s not too much trouble for you, that would be wonderful.”

“Well then, come on, we don’t have all evening.” The four traipsed through the woods until they came upon a rather large campsite. There were dozens of men sitting around the campfire. Upon getting closer, Rapunzel could see that they were all ruffians. Go figure, this was the type of crowd the Stabbingtons liked. She glanced at the guy leading the way. But why would such a good-looking fellow be in with this crowd? Her concerns quickly shifted to the fact that several pairs of eyes were watching her intently. She felt the very sudden desire to disappear and tried to shrink as small as possible. But, if anything, that managed to draw more attention to herself.

“Who you got there, Flynn?” asked one ruffian as he stepped into the group’s path.

“A girl we found wandering in the forest,” said one of the Stabbingtons.

“Your name ain’t Flynn,” snapped the ruffian as he raised his hook and glared at the twins. The twins glared back. Rapunzel noticed this and wondered if the Stabbingtons really were as welcome there, and if this group of ruffians was really all that bad. Whatever the case, thinking that the ruffians might be willing to help her and that they didn’t like the Stabbingtons made her feel a little more confident.

“But he is right,” said Flynn with a shrug, “a girl wandering in the forest. Told her we’d set her up for the night.”

“OK, as long as you said it, not them. You know what Nick said.”

“Uh, yeah, that’s the reason why I went out to find them. Didn’t need another one of you starting a fight with them when Nick did say he wanted us all here for the new orders.”

“Yes, speaking of, shouldn’t you four get to the campfire?” said a woman as she joined the group. She had brown hair that flowed past her shoulders, a white fur-lined hat, and a fur lined coat. She glanced at Rapunzel. “You can’t join them, but I can take you to my tent and get you settled for the night.”

“That would be wonderful, thank you.”

Flynn kissed the woman’s cheek. “That would be perfect, Katherine, thank you.”

Katherine smiled. “Of course! Just, be sure to come and get me if Nick wants me in on it.”

“Will do, sweetheart,” said Flynn with a wink before giving her another kiss. Katherine led Rapunzel towards the tents while Flynn led the ruffian and the Stabbingtons to the fire. Rapunzel let out a gasp when they entered the tent. It was decorated rather fancily for someone living in a tent. A little walkway that encircled the bed was made out of colorful stones. There was a dresser and a bookcase situated on the far side of the tent, the bookcase just about overflowing with books. As Rapunzel got closer, she could see that the bed frame, the dresser, and the bookcase all had little engravings of dragons fighting knights, dragons guarding treasures, wyverns guardings hordes of books, princesses looking out of tower windows, and lions fighting unicorns.

“Wow, these, these are amazing! And done very well,” said Rapunzel as she tried to look at every carving.

“Thank you! Nick made them for me. He made all the furniture we have,” said Katherine, a hint of pride in her voice as she surveyed the wooden pieces with a smile.

“Has he tried selling some of his work?” asked Rapunzel. Katherine glanced at her oddly. “These carvings are done so well, it would be a shame if such talent was hidden.”

Katherine seemed to relax and smiled again. “He has, a few pieces. But each one takes so much time, and not everyone wants to wait.”

Rapunzel nodded. “I understand that. Making art does take a lot of time.”

“Do you carve too?”

Rapunzel shook her head. “Oh no, but I do paint!”

“I’m sure everyone who sees your art must enjoy it.”

Rapunzel glanced down as she nodded sadly. “Yes, they do.”

“What’s wrong?”

Rapunzel let out a sigh before telling her tale, including the part with the Stabbingtons. Katherine only interrupted her to say, “We knew we shouldn’t trust them. Nobody likes them.” But no other word came out of her mouth until Rapunzel finished her tale. Katherine stared at her in shock for a few minutes before speaking. “Rapunzel, that’s . . . you’re . . .”

“Please don’t tell anyone, not yet, anyway. I wouldn’t want the Stabbingtons to get any funny ideas.”

Katherine nodded. “I understand that. Our men are completely trustworthy, but not all can be trusted with a secret, I’m afraid.” She chuckled. “I’m afraid I found that out the hard way.”

“Oh, what’s your secret? If you don’t mind me asking?”

“Well, your highness . . .”

“Oh please, Rapunzel, just Rapunzel, until I leave.”

“Of course, Rapunzel. Well, my secret is, or was, now that everyone knows it, that I really like Flynn.”

“Oh, and he likes you back!”

Katherine grinned. “Yes. I was afraid that Nick wouldn’t like it. He’s always acted like my brother, you see, and told me that only the best guy could ever become my husband. But, you know, I think I shouldn’t have worried, Nick does think Flynn is one of the best guys out there.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Katherine glanced at Rapunzel with a hint of sadness in her eyes. “I do hope that you can get your friend Jack back.”

Rapunzel smiled sadly. “I hope so too. But the Summer Lady did receive updates from the Snow Queen about him, so, there’s a chance, I just have to get to him.”

Katherine nodded before giving Rapunzel a hug. “Well, if there’s any way I can help you on your journey, let me know.”

Rapunzel smiled warmly as she returned the hug. “I will. You know, I’ve always read and heard tales about ruffians. I think your gang should be in more stories, you’re the nicest ruffians! Except the Stabbingtons, of course.”

Katherine chuckled. “Of course. Now, I suggest you get some sleep, you still have a long ways to go to get to the Snow Queen’s palace.”

Rapunzel nodded, right before she let out a yawn. The two chuckled. “I guess it is time for bed. Good night, Katherine. Thank you for everything.”

“Oh, I didn’t do much, just giving you a place to rest your head. Good night, Rapunzel. Pleasant dreams.”

Rapunzel nodded as she let out a another yawn and laid her head down on the pillow. The next instant, she was sound asleep.

Rapunzel felt like it had only been a few minutes since she fell asleep when someone was shaking her awake. She slowly opened her eyes and the figures of Katherine and Flynn came into focus, a third figure standing behind them with his arms crossed.

“Five more minutes, please?” mumbled Rapunzel groggily before turning over in her bed. . “No, you can’t stay here another minute,” said Flynn rather sternly.

Rapunzel’s head snapped up as she glanced at Katherine with concern. “Wh-what? Why not? What’s going on?”

“The Stabbingtons, they, they figured out who you are!” blurted Katherine as she almost pounced on Rapunzel in the bed.

“What?”

“They’ve gone to a rival gang with this information. We need to get you out of here, immediately,” said the third man.

“Nick has one of our horses saddled up to take you,” said Flynn, nodding at the third man.

Nick nodded. “And it would be best if you left now. I’m sorry to have to turn you out like this, but it’s best that you aren’t here when the Stabbingtons returned.”

Rapunzel quickly got out of the bed and began putting on her shoes. “But what about you?”

Nick shot her a grin. “We know how to handle them, don’t worry about us. You get to your friend and set him free from the witch’s curse.”

“How can I ever thank you for letting me stay the night?”

Nick rubbed his beard. “Well, you are a princess. I’ll think about it and let you know once you’ve returned home.”

Rapunzel nodded as she stood up. “Sounds fair. Just, don’t get killed before then.”

Nick burst out laughing. “I like you. So don’t worry, we definitely won’t get killed. But first, we must make sure you do not get killed. Come, quickly.” Rapunzel followed the trio out of the tent. The rest of their gang were bustling about, breaking camp.

Rapunzel began to wring her hands. “Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean for you to have to go through all this trouble!”

Katherine laid a gentle hand on Rapunzel’s shoulder. “It’s not your fault. You probably wouldn’t have even come across the camp if the Stabbingtons hadn’t stopped you and brought you here.”

“But now we must get you out of here. Come, quickly!” Nick led the way through the camp towards the largest tent Rapunzel had ever seen. She wondered how she hadn’t seen it when she entered the camp. But she put that thought aside when she saw what it held. There were several horses housed in the tent, looking quite warm and comfortable. Except for one grumpy-looking one. His whole demeanor changed when he saw Rapunzel.

“Max!” exclaimed Rapunzel as she rushed forward and wrapped her arms around the horse’s neck.

“You know this horse?” asked Flynn.

“Yes! He was my horse! We got separated by the witch before the Sun Prince and the Summer Lady found me!”

“Then we shall let you have him again for the rest of your journey,” said Nick as he quickly saddled Max. “He didn’t really like anyone here.”

“He did like us more than the Stabbingtons, though, which makes sense now,” said Flynn as he jumped in to help. Within seconds, Max was ready to go. Flynn helped Rapunzel into the saddle. “You keep going north, go save your friend!”

Rapunzel nodded. “I will! And I expect to come back to find you all alive!”

Nick chuckled. “Your wish is our command, your highness. Farewell!” Max took off.

“Farewell, and good luck!” shouted Katherine with a wave.

“Farewell!” Rapunzel was able to wave back before she lost sight of them. Max understood the importance of their mission, which was why he was chosen to be her steed. He also seemed tireless, even now as he galloped through the forest, going at a speed Rapunzel didn’t think was possible. But the trees were whizzing by them as they left the encampment far behind, their faces to the north. Max galloped all day, only breaking once for a midday break, and then again for the night. The power of the sundrop in Rapunzel’s hair provided them both with enough warmth that they didn’t have to worry about keeping a fire going through the night. They got up at dawn and ate a quick breakfast before Max galloped all day, stopping for a quick lunch, and going again until night when they had a quick dinner and slept until dawn. After two weeks of the same routine every day, they came across something different. When Rapunzel saw it, she knew the time drew nigh to her completing her search. Before them stood a magnificent castle that looked like it was made of ice. Five towers spiraled into the sky, the middle one being the tallest, and several points sparkled like diamonds in the waning sunlight. An unearthly blue glow seemed to radiate around the door and one of the towers.

Rapunzel let out a breath. “We’re almost there Max!” Max neighed as if to agree. “Let’s save Jack!” Max huffed before taking off. He seemed to speed up with every step closer, as eager as Rapunzel to get to their final destination. When they got close enough, Rapunzel realized that the blue glow around the door was from the inside, the door was open, meaning the Snow Queen was expecting her. Max slowed down as soon as they were inside. There were lanterns filled with a soft blue glow, but bright enough for Rapunzel to see the exterior. The front hall had a grand staircase in the center, but there was no furniture. “Hello? Snow Queen? It’s Rapunzel! I’m here!” She heard nothing but a slight echo. “Hello?” No answer. “M-maybe they’re in the throne room.” Max nodded and they went off in search of the throne room. They found it, but there was no sign of the Snow Queen still. Yet something in the middle of the throne room caught Rapunzel’s attention. “Wait, is that . . . Jack!” she tumbled off of Max and rushed to the figure lying on the floor. She rolled him over, panicking. He was cold and his hair had turned white. “Oh, Jack, please be alive.” as if to answer her question, a puff of air escaped his mouth. She began to shake him. “Jack, Jack! Wake up! Oh please, wake up!” She only got another puff of air. Hot tears began to fall from her face. No, she couldn’t lose him, she didn’t want to lose him, she realized at that moment that she loved him. “Oh Jack! Please!” She pressed her sobbing face into his chest. “Please Jack, come back to me! I . . . I love you!” She sobbed for a minute before a cough interrupted her. She quickly looked up, scanning the room, but she didn't see anyone but Max standing in the doorway. He neighed and pointed at her, clearly excited. “What?” She turned, and gasped. Jack was waking up! He coughed a couple more times before letting out a groan as he sat up. “Jack! You're alright!”

“Rapunzel? What, what's going on? Where am I?” He glanced around the room before his eyes widened with recognition. “Oh wait, I do know.” He turned to Rapunzel and pulled her into a tight hug. “I'm so sorry for everything I said and did to you! I . . .”

Rapunzel put a finger to his lips. “It wasn't you, I know. You were being controlled by that witch.”

“Yes, and you just saved me!” He got up and helped Rapunzel up. Something fell off his jacket to the ground. Jack picked it up. It was a piece of glass. “Why I think this is . . .” A purple-hued face with yellow eyes and white hair appeared in the glass.

“You think you’ve seen the last of me?” Jack and Rapunzel screamed while he dropped the glass. They backed away from the glass, clinging to each other in fear.

“Um, Snow Queen? Snow Queen!”

The witch cackled. “You think she can defeat me?” With wide-eyed horror, Jack and Rapunzel watched as the glass morphed into a lightning bolt and the witch stepped out. “She can't even destroy my glass, only prolong the inevitable.” She raised her hands and purple lighting shot out towards them.

“Jack!” A figure darted out between them, the lightning bouncing off his shield.

He turned to Jack and Rapunzel. “Are you two alright?” He was clearly in his thirties, but he had white hair, just like Jack had now.

“We are, thanks to you,” replied Jack.

“You!” They looked at the witch. “Did she really think she could keep my glass from your heart?”

The man growled. “She's kept it from my heart for this long, I’m sure she can keep it away long enough to find my one true love!” The witch sent out another volley of lightning, but the three were safe behind the shield. The man turned to Jack and Rapunzel. “And thanks to you two, I can finally hope again that I will be free of her curse.”

Rapunzel smiled. “You're welcome.”

“Leave them alone!” A wall of ice sprung up between the three and the witch.

“Well well well, if it isn't the Snow Queen herself. Finally come to face me? You’ve avoided this for so long.” Rapunzel gasped when she saw the Snow Queen walk elegantly in a blue, pink, and white dress.

“Wow, you're beautiful!”

The Snow Queen gave her a small smile. “Thank you, princess. But she is right.” She turned to the witch with rage in her eyes. “I have avoided this for too long.”

“You couldn't help it though,” said a young man who looked to be around the Snow Queen's age. He was dressed in silver armor with a red bandanna. His violet eyes seemed to look upon the Snow Queen with love. “You were gathering information on how to stop her, she did cover her tracks well.” He looked at the witch with the same rage. “But we have all the information we need now to stop you once and for all.”

“Oh, is that so?” sneered the witch. “And what makes you think you have all the information?” The two looked at her, a worry starting to seep into their eyes. The witch cackled.

“Don’t listen to her, Snow Queen, Wind Lord! She’s just trying to weaken your resolve!”

“Thank you Captain,” said the Snow Queen, “but please keep Jack and Rapunzel safe. Those are your orders.”

The Captain nodded. “Yes ma’am.”

The Snow Queen and the Wind Lord took a step towards the witch. She cackled. “You two can’t defeat me!”

“That’s why we’re here,” came a male voice. Rapunzel gasped as the Sun Prince and the Summer Lady stepped out from behind Max. Another man was with them. He was chubby and seemed bigger than the Sun Prince. He had the darkest skin of the group, brown hair, brown eyes, and was wearing an orange and yellow suit.

“The Sun Prince, the Summer Lady, and the Stone Lord!” exclaimed the Captain.

“How did you get here?” asked Rapunzel and the witch at the same time.

The Sun Prince grinned and pointed at the Stone Lord. “Travelling underground is pretty fast.” He shot an apologetic look at Rapunzel. “I’m pretty sure you had the answer to saving Jack this entire time, but we needed you to know it. Otherwise, we would have used the Stone Lord’s fast method of travel.” He then turned to the Snow Queen and the Wind Lord and bowed. “We’re here, let the party commence!”

Jack grinned. “I like you.”

The Wind Lord groaned and rolled his eyes. “Just as I figured.”

Rapunzel giggled. “I did too.”

“Now’s not the time,” the Snow Queen ordered. “We have a witch to take care of. Get in position!” The witch realized that she was in trouble as the five surrounded her. She began to let loose volley after volley of lightning, but the Wind Lord and the Snow Queen used their powers to keep her bolts from hitting the other three while they got in position around her. The Captain began inching Jack and Rapunzel towards the door.

“You can’t defeat me!” shouted the witch, but she looked worried as she glanced at the five surrounding her.

“Oh I think we can,” said the Wind Lord with determination in his eyes and voice.

“Ready!” The five raised their hands at the Snow Queen’s shout, their hands shrouded in a soft glow. “Aim!”

“No!” shouted the witch as she raised her own hands. A swirling, black cloud began to form above her head. Max got behind Jack and Rapunzel as the Captain raised his shield.

“Now!” Beams of light shot out from their hands, first yellow from the Stone Lord, then blue from the Snow Queen, Green from the Summer Lady, red from the Sun Prince, and finally a deep purple, almost black, from the Wind Lord. The Witch screamed as the beams of light hit her. Bolts of lightning burst from the cloud, hitting the five. They screamed, and their beams of light began to flicker.

“Stay strong!” shouted the Snow Queen after she got her scream out.

“We can do this! We have to stay together!” shouted the Wind Lord. They pushed harder, the light grew brighter. The Captain ushered Jack, Rapunzel and Max out of the room. They heard the five yell with determination and the witch screamed out in pain as the light grew even brighter.

“Close your eyes!’ shouted the Captain. Jack pulled Rapunzel in tight while she held onto Max’s reins, the three squeezing their eyes shut tight. The Captain raised his shield as high as he could before closing his own eyes shut. There were a few moments of silence before they heard the Snow Queen’s voice.

“It’s alright now, everything’s over. We’ve defeated the witch!” There were hugs all around as they jumped and shouted for joy.

“Now, I think we should get Jack and Rapunzel back home!” said the Sun Prince. “I know their families are getting very worried.”

The Stone Lord rolled up his sleeves and grinned broadly. “Alright, everyone, gather around! We’re taking the Cave Express!”

“Wait, that’s what you call it?” asked the Sun Prince incredulously.

The Stone Lord shrugged. “Eh, it works.” He glanced at everyone. “Well come on, get a little closer to me, please.” They got closer to him.

“Wait, why do we have to get close to you?” The Stone Lord grinned at Jack before tapping the ground with his right foot. A giant hole appeared beneath them.

“That’s why.” Everyone screamed as they fell through the hole, sliding this way and that. Rapunzel let out peals of laughter, but she hung on to Jack. A minute later, they fell out of the hole back onto solid ground. They took a moment before getting up.

“Whoa! How did you do that?” asked Jack.

“A little trick I learned from the pookas,” said the Stone Lord.

The Wind Lord walked around slightly dizzy. “OK, I am never doing that again.”

“Oh come on, it was fun!” said the Sun Prince.

“That’s what you think.”

“Alright, you two, knock it off,” said the Captain, stepping between them. “Let’s get these two home first, then you can argue as much as you want once we’ve left Corona.”

Rapunzel gasped. “We’re home! Oh, Jack, we’re home!” The two hugged before dashing through the gates of Corona, Max right behind them. The sun was just rising over the horizon, and people were getting up and about. A murmur began softly as the group made their way towards the palace and grew until they realized the whole town was following them, talking excitedly. The king and queen came out to meet them.

“Mother, Father!” cried out Rapunzel as she ran into their arms.

“Oh Rapunzel, my dear Rapunzel, you’re alright!”

“Jack!”

“Mom!” After the happy reunion, the whole story was told several times, Rapunzel emphasizing the promise she had made to the bandits who were so kind to her. It was once they were finally all sitting down at the dining table that Jack let out a yelp.

“Rapunzel! Your hair! It’s, it’s brown again!”

Rapunzel looked at her hair. He was right! She gasped when she looked at him. “So is yours!”

The Sun Prince chuckled as he set the flower on the table. Everyone gasped as it bloomed. “If your majesties permit, I would like to present you with a drop of the sun. If any other threat should arise, this flower should protect you. If it can’t, it will allow you to contact me and the Summer Lady for aid.”

The Snow Queen then placed a round stone upon the table as well. “And I would like to give you this drop of the moon. Like the drop of the sun, it should protect you from most harm and grant you the ability to contact me should the need arise.”

The king rose and bowed. “Why, why thank you! You are too kind! You have destroyed the evil witch and returned my daughter and her friend home safely. And now this? How can we ever repay you?”

The Snow Queen smiled. “Just be kind to others and help those in need.”

“But if these tools were ever used for ill intent, they will return immediately to us,” said the Wind Lord. The others nodded.

“Well, then, may I persuade you to stay for a party?” said the queen.

The Stone Lord raised his hand. “Can I help cook?”

The queen blinked. “Oh, but . . .”

The Sun Prince interrupted her. “Oh, you really should let him. He’s one of the best cooks around!” His friends agreed.

The queen shrugged. “Oh, well, if you insist.” The party was a blast, everyone had a fantastic time. Later, when it was over, Rapunzel took the sun drop flower into her greenhouse and planted it at the request of her parents. When she finished planting it, she found Jack’s arms wrapped around her.

“So, I never got to reply,” began Jack, nuzzling his face in her hair.

“Reply to what?” asked Rapunzel.

“You told me you love me, I didn’t get a chance to reply.”

Rapunzel turned and placed her arms around her neck. “So, what’s your reply?”

Jack smiled. “I love you too.” With the sun drop flower glowing at their feet and the moonlight streaming through the skylight, they shared their first kiss.

I rewatched Eternal Diva and this time I took notes as I went through

Dive under the cut if you dare to experience my mad in-the-moment ramblings (warning for spoilers for pretty much the entire prequel trilogy)

- Don Paolo’s voice sounds like what Papyrus’s voice probably should

- Winter Layton is precious in that giant coat

- Janice is so pretty omg an angel

- Layton geeking out over the Detrogan is goddamn adorable

- I love how everything is greyed out in Janice’s flashback

- Suuuuuuuuper subtle indication that maybe “Janice” seeing how young this little girl was is what prompted her to find a way to put an end to this whole thing

- Whether it’s a moped or the Laytonmobile, Emmy drives like crazy XD

- Bitch you ain’t on Top Gear

- God her big sister relationship with Luke is adorable tho

- Aaaaaaaaaaaah Layton smiling at their banter dad’s so happy for his son

- They did such a good job reusing the game’s music for this movie

- The opera house looks so cool but so precarious – my first thought upon seeing it was “when is this thing going to sink”

- I MEAN IT’S ON A CLIFF

- Janice’s voice is so pretty TToTT

- I like that they kept the Japanese vocals for her singing

- SONG OF THE SEA-SHADOWING

- I hate that Layton and Luke were the ONLY people to honestly applaud the performance. Everyone else is a DICK

- First time I saw this dude, I thought “that’s a puppet, no ordinary person moves like that even in animation”

- Once again, Layton putting a polite and gentlemanly spin on “fucked if I know, my dude”

- Lol I love that even the people who didn’t applaud and thus apparently knew what they were in for weren’t down for dying

- Fuking cowards

- Layton is always DTF (down to fight)

- GROSKY OF THE YARD

- FUCK YES

- This dude’s manliness is infectious

- “Gee, I wonder who’s behind this-“ *Descole’s theme starts playing* “-oh well never mind”

- Honestly who else but Descole would be this fucking extra tho

- Gotta admit I love the twist of the opera house being a ship, I was totally expecting it to just go plunging into the ocean at a moment’s notice

- Aaaaah the CG in this movie is really well done

- Layton’s angry face is kinda ridiculous but I love it

- I love that it’s pointed out like “where tf did all these sharks come from”

- I prefer Cartoon Saloon’s Song of the Sea, but this one’s pretty too

- Lol as if a MAN-EATING SHARK could keep down GROSKY OF THE YARD

- I’m surprised he can see over the top of his chest hair

- God, the detrogan is such a cool instrument and I really wish something like it existed irl

- Ah, it’s only like fifteen sharks, Grosky will be fine

- I love the air of mystery surrounding Oswald Whistler

- Layton’s hat is made of 100% pure uncut husband material

- AAAAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE HOW PUZZLES ARE USED IN THIS MOVIE IT’S SO GOOOOOOOD

- I’m so glad they didn’t scrap it entirely coz I mean they’re so integral not only to the Layton games, but Layton himself

- This music box tune kinda gives me Gravity Falls vibes tbh

- I think the backing melody sounds pretty identical to the tune’s intro

- I love that this movie actually lets us see inside Layton’s head and his thought process, it’s so much better than just having him put everything together seemingly offscreen

- Tbh any puzzle where “the night sky” is the solution is bound to be a good puzzle

- I just fucking love the implied MASSACRES in this movie

- God Luke is so goddamn precious

- Pffft pumpkin dude is so subtly duplicitous

- Okay I have ot pause for a bit to rant about layton’s design because it’s SO GOOD. Warm colours make him seem welcoming and kinda comfy and the simple facial features, while a bit Ditto-esque, do combine nicely with his overall shape to scream “friend”. Professor Layton is friend shaped. And of course there’s the popped collar to show that he’s cool, the high collared shirt gives a scholarly vibe, his shoes which I stg are plimsolls show a practical side and of course the quintessential top hat shows that he’s a Gentleman first and foremost. Add the amazing voice to that and BOI I DIE

- Although I can’t help imagining that gif with the teddy bear slapping eyebrows onto its face to look angry whenever he gets mad

- Luke is not friend shaped. Luke is son shaped.

- Precious bab shaped

- Wpw a sea captain I would never have guessed other than the “sailor” accent and the fact that you’re wearing a sailor’s uniform

- Ugh I love these quiet moments where things can sink in and characters can just talk to each other, I really wish more movieswould do this

- I love that even if you don’t have a literal look at his thought processes, you can still see Layton THINKINg

- Agh Amelia is SO CUTe this series is so good at designing beautiful women and cute girls while also making them look DISTINCT

- I like that they hinted at her intelligence by having her solve the puzzles by herself

- One advantage a film has over the games is that the visual novel format kinda limits the dialogue, coz it’s hard to convey one charafter talking over another

- I really like the side characters. They’re simple, yes, but they don’t really need to be complex

- I will admit that the limits of Layton’s simple facial features means it can be hard to tell who/what he’s looking at sometimes…

- “that man” asked me to write an opera, huh

- WHY DOES NOBODY ASK WHO

- Fuck descole’s theme is SO GOOD

- WHERE DOES HE GET THE FUNDING FOR ALL OF THIS THOUGH

- And Grosky boards the ship just in time for it to blow up XD I love this dude

- I can only imagine his gigantic pecs act as a flotation device

- Layton preventing Luke from looking at the exploding ship THIS MAN IS SUCH A DAD HE’S SO GOOD

- I love this scene with Emmy investigating because these parent’s appearances are just enough to make it ambiguous whether they’re Nina or Amelia’s parents

- Seeing them all wrapped up in blankets is kinda cute tbh

- LET. THEM. SLEEP.

- I wonder what Layton uses to keep his hat on?

- Lol Emmy pushing a fossil aside to look at the map

- I can only assume, given that they set off from the White Cliffs of Dover, that this island is SOMEWHERE off the coast of mainland Europe in about the same region as Spain

- Ugh I LOVE Emmy’s uppercrust accent, the fact that she sounds like such a refined lady is such a fun contrast to her literal arse-kicking

- Also this is totally BBC news lol

- I love the detail of the historian’s scrapbook being kinda hodgepodge with bits falling out

- And I love the Ambrosia Seal being super detailed but the subtle incorporation of a sheet music design

- Gotta admit I totally thought this little banquet was poisoned on my first watch

- Lol I love that pumpkin guy just KEEPS POURING THE WINE

- Ugh that beach looks SO PRETTY, I want to go there

- Janice is totally crushing on Layton, pass it on

- D’awwwwww luke trying to befriend ‘melina’ is SO CUTE this boy must be protected at all costs

- Layton how did you hear what she was humming from all the way over there

- Why do so many anime characters have inexplicable super senses

- Those wolves’ eyeliner is on point lol

- “I’m not built for running” lol mood

- FUCKING HELL DESCOLE WHO IS FUNDING ALL YOUR SHIT

- HOW MUCH DISPOSABLE INCOME DO YOU FUCKING HAVE

- Admittedly on my first watch I wasn’t as familiar with descole’s theme, but I saw that castle and I just thought “it’s descole, only he can be that extra”

- The twist of using the cages for personal protection rather than to trap the walls is simple, but so clever

- I love that Mr Whistler was one of those accidentally trapped outside. Keeps suspicion off

- And I love Layton saying “well that solved PART of our problem”

- YOU SHUT UP LADY THE PROFESSOR IS AMAZING

- And then he trips and falls lol that’s what you get for wearing old man shoes

- “Even a good gentleman needs to get some exercise!” pfft

- Oh hey, they found the starter house that Descole was using while he was building that castle. I wonder what texture pack he’s using?

- And here Layton puts MacGuyver to shame in the most Ghibli way possible

- I’d love to see someone try to build this thing XD someone call the Mythbusters

- Bjut I adore how even LAYTON isn’t sure how this fucking thing works

- Fucking NERD

- Yeah, these filmmakers were TOTALLY influenced by Ghibli

- This is so Castle In The Sky, it hurts

- “Hang on tight! NOT TO THE PILOT!” – best line in the movie

- You can’t escape it, Layton. You is a dad

- DID YOU GUYS NOT SEE LAYTON LAPUTA-ING HIS WAY IN

- It’s great how all those puzzles seem like they could be ripped straight out of the Layton games, complete with outside-the-box bizarre thinking required to solve em

- I’m so proud of Luke for solving it!!!!! Such a good boy

- RUDE

- Yeah, just stand in the middle of the suspiciously empty room, I’m sure nothing will go wrong

- That’s what you get for shoving Layton aside, bitches

- Lol I guess luke could just step through the bars if his head was a bit smaller

- DESCOLE HOLY FUCK YOU ARE THE KING OF EXTRA

- “humble scientist” GOOD GRIEF WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT YOU DRAMA QUEEN

- I love that Emmy can FLY A PLANE

- Holy shit grosky there are better ways to signal for help

- And LESS GROSS WAYS TO DRY YOURSELF OFF IN A PLANE

- Yeah, see, you lost your knickers

- Ugh, god. I adore this scene with Layton in Melina’s room. It’s so quiet, the soft evening lighting… aaaaaaaaaaah so peaceful, but you can still feel the tension in the air, especially after Melina comes in

- Oh my god, Layton plays like an angel *swoon*

- The lack of background music in this scene is what makes it so perfect, the tension is so REAL

- Lol I love the historian just standing there like ‘welp there they go’

- NOOOOOOOOO LUKE DON’T CRY

- BIG SIS IS HERE

- Oh fuck yes

- EMMY I LOVE YOU

- God she and grosky are so fantastic XD

- WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO FIGHT LIKE THAT EMMY

- Somehow emmy gives me Michelle of the Resistance vibes

- God, I kinda love it when you can tell Layton’s already put it all together and is just biding his time

- AAAAAAAAAAH I love the subtle resemblance between Layton and what you can see of Descole’s face

- In hindsight, that… stole? Is that what it is? The fur thing isprobably to hide his face shape because it most likely ups his resemblance to Layton

- But he’s totally wearing black converse like the extra hipster nerd he is

- God, I can’t even imagine the nightmare of having your memories overridden and personality suppressed

- Aaaaaaaaaaaand here’s the summation. I love this part in pretty much every Layton thing

- “Assisting you was the scientist, Jean Descole!” Descole: lol hi

- LAYTON YOU ARE SUCH A DAD I LOVE YOU

- Him being gentle with kids is so sweet

- Also damn this backstory is a lot. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a loved one, but I’m not surprised a father would do anything he could to keep his daughter alive

- “When did you realise I was involved” “ur an extra bitch who lives for drama, who else could it be”

- That brief bit of Luke without his hat just makes him look even more BABY BOI MUST PROTECC

- Okay real talk when did Janice get hold of the key

- I’m guessing it was in the commotion when Mr Whistler grabbed Luke

- SUCH A GOOD TWIST I LOVE IT

- My heeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaart goddammit

- In hindsight, the hint of Janice wearing Melina’s pendant was really subtle and clever

- GODDAMMIT DESCOLE CAN YOU STOP BEING EXTRA FOR LIKE TEN SECONDS

- It’s kinda cool that he’s an archaeologist too though. It really does run in the family.

- The way Descole and Whistler’s schemes intertwined was really cool

- Yeah, it just wouldn’t be Descole if there wasn’t some over-the-top machinery

- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MAGIC MUSIC THIS IS MY SHIT

- When escaping from a crumbling castle, do be sure to grab your boy.

- AAAAAAAAAGH THE SCENERY IN THIS MOVIE IS SO FUCKING GOOD

- Good lord, there it is. Descole just can’t function unless he has some ridiculous Humongous Mecha at his command

- This thing looks especially monstrous and I love it

- I don’t think I’ve seen ANY faults in this movie’s animation, jesus Christ

- Descole, did you learn nothing from the attempted excavation of Troy? It’s very possible that your efforts to unearth Ambrosia will be what destroys it!

- Aaaaaaaagh this flying scene is intense as FUCK

- Layton and Luke are SUCH A GOOD TEAM

- WHAT IS THIS MUSIC I LOVE IT

- Luke you are SUCH A GOOD BOY

- Sorry but you’ll never be mob tho

- Mob is perfection

- JESUS CHRIST DESCOLE ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL A CHILD

- I was about to ask where that explosion came from but then I realised it was probably a petrol-powered chainsaw

- Layton who told you that you could look this goddamn epic

- But I love that he’s taking on the sword-armed Descole with a PIPE

- That footwork tho

- Layton must be an amazing dancer

- So cool that he’s patiently explaining why Descole was wrong

- Sun, stars and sea. I feel like that’s a Dothraki term of endearment meant for oceanfairing

- MORE MAGIC MUSIC I AM BLESSED

- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THIS IS THE FUCKING COOLEST

- I’M SUCH A SLUT FOR MAGIC MUSIC GODDAMMIT AND THIS IS DOUBLE TEAMING ME WITH SINGING AND PIANO

- I do enjoy that despite its emergence, Ambrosia is still partially submerged. Some movies would’ve had it rise from the sea completely

- Lol at Descole losing his shit because SOMEONE ELSE found the answer

- Yeah, bad idea attacking someone right on top of your humongous mecha’s control panel

- “DESCOLE!” dude he’s fine you really think he’d die

- I was going to ask why Emmy didn’t use her plane but she probably couldn’t get to it in time

- Yeah, this is SO Ghibli. The gigantic industrialised machine self-destructing on the ruins of an ancient civilisation lost to nature

- Noooooooooo don’t do this to me movie, nothing kills me like sad flashbacks

- Ow my heart

- This hurts

- “I’m sorry, Father. I’ve only ever brought you grief and sadness, haven’t I” as someone who’s struggled with depression this is a whole-ass mood

- NO THIS HURTS STOP IT

- Also the lil detail of Whistler’s waistcoat being the same shade of purple as Melina/Janice’s dress

- NOOO DON’T MAKE LUKE SAD

- “I’m so glad all of you were my very last memory.” Damn that line hits hard

- GIVE THE GIRL A HUG, LAYTON

- I said a hug, not a hand on the shoulder, she needs a HUG

- Seeing the destroyed detrogan really hammers it home, huh

- It’s very kind of Grosky to let Whistler play one last time in memory of his daughter

- When I got into the Layton series, I was no expecting to be hit so hard with the FEELS

- “Do you know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”

- GNU Ambrosia, I guess

- Ugh it’s so PRETTY tho

- Fucking sparkles and shit

- D’awwwww, I love the image of Luke patching up the wolves, he’s so sweet

- Knowing the truth about Emmy and seeing her being so happy with Layton and Luke makes it really painful :’(

- The world needs more of Layton with a big, happy smile

- Awww, Author Lady and Pumpkin Dude kept in touch

- GROSKY GOT HIS UNDIES BACK

- Ugh seeing Layton and Luke peacefully listening to that music is SO CUTE and SOFT

#professor layton and the eternal diva #professor layton #hershel layton #luke triton #pl #The Amazing Adventures of Rainy Meadows #this movie is so good holy shit #delicious finally some good fucking video game movie

miki-13 reblogged your photo and added:

Okay wow, they all look friggin’ amazing! Agh, I’ve already got so much I wanna draw and now you’ve added yet another picture I want to put on paper! @lythecreatorart’s looks so pretty in pink and it goes well with the black and white and brownish-orange, @che1sea-xiao-long’ looks so demure and lovely with the light green and orange and of course, @littlemisssquiggles‘ looks absolutely stunning in red.

I find it interesting you gave Ruby white as her main color scheme with some red on the side, as opposed to Rose who is in all red. It reminds me a bit of Utena, who used the white rose and was represented by white, as a color of purity. Which fits in with her being a simple soul and Blake’s description of her character (”Purity”)

It’s also interesting that you gave Ianthe a darker color scheme with this one. I’ve never pictured her in black or darker colors, but now I see she pulls it off quite well. (Oh my gosh, you made her so tiny and smol XD)

By the way, how did you figure out the dresses for everyone here? I’m curious of your thought process for them.

Squiggles Answers:

@miki-13 Thank you so much Miki-chan!

My thought process into the dress designs? Oh gee, not sure I have much to say on that but I shall do my best *salutes*

Well if I must admit off the bat, I went into this squiggle sketch work already knowing the type of dresses I wanted the first three Roses: Rosaline ‘Rose’ Fox, Ruby Rose and Rosalind ‘Lindy’ Fox to wear. With Ianthe Regem and Rosaline ‘Hoody’ Hood, I sought out the almighty power of Pinterest to aid with inspiration for their gown designs.

Let’s start with Ruby Rose: our leading Rose. Actually I’ll have to correct you, Ruby isn’t wearing white. Her dress is actually silver with just a pop of red. As I was telling Ly, I knew I wanted Ruby to wear silver instead of her more traditionally red outfits. Silver is another signature colour associated with Ruby that we don’t often get to see her rock so I figured why not give her a nice silvery lace dress made with a glittery material that made Ruby appear as if she’s dressed in starlight. I know you can’t really see here since these were more meant to be sketch concepts but you get the idea. Plus my main reason for having Ruby wear silver is based on a Rosegardening headcanon of mine where Oscar thinks Ruby looks more beautiful in silver since it matches her eyes. Again, red may be Ruby’s main colour however should she ever step out in a silver dress, I think she’ll turn heads. Especially Oscar’s. Buuuuut that’s just my idea XD

Next is my girl Rosaline Fox: As I mentioned in ‘Defining Rose Fox’, Rose is known for her beauty. Rose is a gorgeous and vivacious vixen who is fully confident in her looks. So I knew for a definite fact that I wanted her to rock a dress that shows off her splendour in a striking colour that would make her the apple of every man’s eyes.

For Rose’s gown, I actually drew inspiration for the style from Jessica Rabbit from ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’. When I think memorable lovely characters, Jessica Rabbit was the first one that popped to my mind.

So Rose’s gown is influenced by Jessica’s from the slit that’s supposed to be up the side (pardon my sketch for not illustrating that better) to the open back to the gloves even down to her dress having a kind of shine to it. As a matter of fact, this is a cohesive characteristic that I decided to share with all the other Roses. So technically each Rose has one part of their dress that is glittery. Each Rose also wears a rose detail to their outfits, be it an accessory or detail of their dress. Like in the case of Rose where the single strap of her dress in an array of roses along with the belt around her waist. Not to mention the frills of Rose’s dress as supposed to represent rose petals.

Rosalind Fox: For Lindy, I’m not sure what type of personality @che1sea-xiao-long has in mind for her Rose but for me, I pictured her being the very sweet and gentle-hearted type. So I gave a dress to reflect that appeal. With Lindy, her green hood was one of the most signature parts of her design so I gave her this sort of green shawl to mimic that detail from her huntress attire. Everything else about her dress just fell fittingly into place. I knew I wanted the end of her dress and shawl to be decorated with orange roses since I dubbed her the orange rose (will explain that later). If I’m being honest, I just rolled with the first ideas that popped into my head with the rest of Rosalind’s dress and the end result just turned into a cute gown that I think suits her. I think it even got the Chelsea seal of approval.

Ianthe Regem: Yes, this is where things got a bit tough for me. With Ianthe, I wanted something cute but somewhat regal for her; if that makes sense. However I wasn’t sure the style I wanted to go with for her. This is where I sought good old Pinterest and found this really nice art of an anime girl wearing a dress that I thought would look lovely on Ianthe. Artist is Tobi Kotetsu

So I based Ianthe’s outfit off of that design. I figured a style like that would look adorable on her and my assumptions seemed to be proven right with your reaction to the look. Mind you, this is only a sketch. I may change this design later to maintain my original ‘regal’ style for Ianthe’s gown. But we shall see.

Lastly we have Rosaline Hood: She was the other Rose I needed a little help designing for. Ironically the two roses I went in blind to design ended up being the ones to rock black as part of their attire. Not intentional but it works. With Hoody, I also drew inspiration from Pinterest for the style of her dress. I found this really nice design for a dress with same kind of frills that sort of drape down from the torso like rose petals.

It reminded me of the way Ly designed Hoody’s huntsmen attire so I figured, why not add that detail to her ball gown. She certainly looks lovely with it. As for making her rock pink. Well as I told Ly, making Hoody the pink rose in the bouquet was a bold choice based on a whim. I understand that there were other rose colours that I could’ve used for her. I considered making her a peach rose. However the instance I slapped that hot pink on her dress, that was it. That won me. It looked absolutely gorgeous on her especially with the black. Not sure if Hoody is the type to wear pink but she looks lovely in it. Plus according to Ly, Hoody’s dress reminds her of her prom dress which makes my choice even more perfect.

So yeah, that was pretty much my thought process behind all. As I was telling @lythecreatorart and let me tag @che1sea-xiao-long in here as well, these were mostly just rough sketches of dress designs for a potential project I’m considering of doing with all the Roses including Ruby when I get the time to spare.

I called it ‘Bouquet of Roses’ and the gist of it is, Oscar Pine is basically our handsome Yellow or more fittingly Gold Rose Prince with eyes as radiant as the sun and a kind and benevolent heart to match. Prince Oscar owns a bouquet comprised of an arrangement of roses of different colours. The key roses are red, lavender, orange and pink roses and it is those roses that are represented by our Garden of Roses.

Ruby Rose and Rose Fox are our two red roses locked in a rivalry for the Prince’s affection to be his one true red rose (although Ruby could arguably be more of a white rose with her silver dress which could be used to symbolize her purity of heart as you pointed out. Not to mention that it’s a way to connect her to her mother Summer who was the original white rose). Rosaline Hood is the pink rose. Rosalind Fox is the orange rose and lastly Ianthe Regem is the lavender rose.

Seeing you and Ly create such great illustrations with the whole Garden squad has inspired me to do my own lil pet project to draw all the Roses together in my style. It’s also meant to be my shameless excuse to draw Oscar as a fairy-tale prince with Ruby featuring Team FRHR and everyone gets to wear dresses. That was the idea.

What happens After Cars 1/ Cars Fanfiction

So I figured I would write this considering they did not show what happend after cars the 1st. So enjoy! <3

Sally and Lightning Mcqueen were racing back to radiator springs.

Sally: Bet you can´t catch up to a Porsche!

Lightning: Oh, You bet I can!

Lightning Caught up to her and started to giggle and sally did the same. They both smiled at eachother in a flirty way. Soon they reached Flo´s V8 Cafe.

Sally: Funny how you can win a Piston Cup but you still can´t catch up to me!

Lightning: Thats mainly because you had a headstart.

Sally Chuckled and so did lightning.

Lightning pulled up to a gas pump and sally pulled up next to him. Then lightning starts blushing.

Sally: Oh c´mon stickers! I know you´re blushing but I just can´t see it.

Lightning: Good thing my paint is red, Hehe.

Flo: Hey honey! I wasnt expecting you to come back!

Lightning: Well.......Considering I di-

Mater shows up.

Mater: Hey buddeh!

Lightning: Mater, Weren´t you flying in the heli?

Mater: Well, Hehe....I kinda jumped off and it was fun!

Lightning started to put on a weak smile and sally notices.

Sally: Stickers, Whats wrong?

Lightning: Oh, Nothing! Just.........

Sally thought.....If mater would have had not shown up, Lightning would have had kissed me! | Sally was very astonished at mater. But she couldn´t get mad at him.

Mater: Miss sally are you lightnings girlfriend?

Sally: Well uh Hehe.......I Am really No-

Lightning: WELL WE ARE NOT TOO SURE......YET.......

Sally Glared at lightning while he was blushing so much he was turning into a tomato!

Sally starts to Chuckle.

Chick: Well Well Well. What do we have here?

Lightning: Go away chick. Nobody wants you here.

Chick: Oh I see. You just want me to leave so I don´t fall in love with your Slutty ass girlfriend.

Lightning: YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU BETTER TAKE THAT BACK!

Sally: Stickers! Chill out!

Sheriff: CHILL OUT ON THAT LANGUAGE BOY!

Sally Put on a worried face that lightning might Try to kill him or something.

Chick: Wow Mcqueen. I did not think you would rage that much over some pathetic words.

Lightning: WELL MAYBE IF YOU WOULD LEAVE ME THE HELL ALON-

Sally: LIGHTNING! She yelled.

Lightning started to worry that she would not like him anymore for being a jerk.

Chick: Oh whats wrong Miss Carerra? Are you worried your Pathetic ¨Stickers¨ Might get thrown in jail for Being a stupid ass idiot? HAH. Chick started to put on a evil grin.

Sally drove over to chick and kicks him between is Two rear tires.

Chick: OH MY GO-

Lightning: You deserved that chick.

Chick started to drive away.

Lightning: Sally, Im sorry but I can´t control myself around chick.....Lightning started to frown.

Sally: Its okay stickers. And I feel the same way. She says in a calm voice.

Sally Starts to nudge lightning on his fender. Lightning starts to nudge her back. P.S/ Idek I would have had put nuzzle but I didnt really think that would have had made sense, XD.|

Doc came over to lightning Ruining sally and lightnings moment.

Doc: Kid, Wanna go down to Willy´s Butte and run some more laps?

Lightning: Maybe later doc.

Doc Sighed.

Doc: Maybe if you do it now, You can have all the time with sally later kid.

Lightning Looked very Unhappy.

Sally: Doc. Why can´t My stickers do it later?

Doc: Because I said so. Doc said sternly.

Doc: NOW LIGHTNING!

Lighting. Okay! Okay! Im going.....

Sally: Started to sigh.

10PM At night.

Lightning drove over to the lobby of the motel and saw sally doing more paperwork.

Lightning: Hey sal!

Sally: Stickers! Hehe, You startled me for a second.

They both started chuckling.

Lightning: So uh...Shouldn´t you be in bed?

Sally: I could ask the same for you.

Lightning: Well....I thought maybe we could watch a movie tonight in my cone.... Lightning started Blushing so hard he thought his fenders were going to blow off.

Sally: Hehe. Well I guess. But......

Lightning: Whats wrong sal?

Sally: Stickers.....She started to tear up.

Lightning: Sal....? Lightning was very confused.

Sally: I......Can I tell you a secret?

Lightning: Sure sally, You can tell me anything.

Sallys FLASHBACK In LA

Sally was going to bed. But she didn´t realize her date ¨Storm¨ that night was following her. She turned her light off and pulled the blankets up over her roof.

Then Storm Got Into the bed and she knew.

Sally: AGH!

Storm: Hey baby. Wanna have some fun?

Then he tried to rape her. But she got out in time.

Storm followed her but then she ran into a pole And got knocked out.

Then she woke up, Somehow in the middle of Radiator springs.

END FLASHBACK.

Lightning: Sal....I would never try to do that to you.

Sally Was crying.

Lightning moved up next to her and started to nuzzle her fender.

Sally: Im sorry stickers....Its just...Just....Im scared okay!

Lightning: I understand sal. Its okay if you don´t wanna come into my cone.

Lightning drove over to his cone. And sally Was following him.

Sally: Stickers......Can you please promise me you won-´t do it?

Lightning: Sally. Unless you want to have sex. I promise you.

Lightning wiped away her black tears. He backed into his cone, And sally followed.

They were watching Fast and furious.

Lightning Noticed sally was falling asleep and so he glared at her in a flirty way getting butterflies.

Lightning: She looks like an angel when she sleeps....... Lightning wanted to kiss her so badly but he was to afriad he would mess it up, So he turned off the Tv and feel asleep next to her.

Sally: *Yawns*

Lightning: Morning Sal.

Sally: Huh? Oh...Hehe....I must have feel asleep with you.

Lightning: Im glad you did. Because you were a sexy little angel. He blurted out loud accidentaly.

Sally: Wait...What?

Lightning: OH. Uh hehe. Eh....Look what time it is hehee...

Mater was spying through the window watching lightning and sally.

Lightning: So. I was wondering if you wanna go to wheel well later?

Sally: Sure!

Lightning drove closer to her. And sally did the same until mater started to bang on the door.

Lightning Grew very aggervated.

Lightning: Mcqueen groaned. Why does everytime I try to make love with you mater has to interrupt!?

Sally: Im not sure stickers. Im really not sure.

Lightning: Well. Better go train with doc.

Sally: Alright. Ill see you later stickers!

Lightning: Ready to go?

Sally: Yup!

Its got dark so sally turned on her headlights, But they went out. But good thing lightning got his headlights.

Lightning: So it looks like Ill be guiding you this time.

Lightning and sally finally arrived at wheel well enjoying memerable moments and the view.

Lightning: Sally......Ya know. Ive always ya knw.... Hehe

Sally: Stickers....I really want to....UGH! Im to shy to ev-en tell you!

Lightning: Its okay sal. Hehe. Im the same way.

Then a Severe thunderstorm came.

Lightning: We better get going.

Sally Agreed. It was raining to hard the mud was falling off the canyons like a waterfall.

Lightning: Sal!

Sally: Yeah stickers!

Lightning: There is a mudslide, we can´t go through!

A mudslide came down off the canyon and a Gigantic rock fell right on sally.

Lightning: SALLY!

Sally: Stickers! *She was crying so hard*

The rock landed on her rear right Axle and left several dents in her side.

Lightning: SALLY! SHHHH! Its going to be okay!

Lightning started holding her tire to comfort her. But the thunder and lightning kept scaring her.

Back in radiator springs.

Doc: Where are them 2?

Flo: I thought i saw them head up to wheel well.

Sheriff: Doc! A huge mudslide came off the canyons and I think sally and lightnin´ are stuck there!

Everyone Gasped.

Doc, Flo, Mater, And sheriff drove up there and saw sallys side stuck under a rock.

Lightning: Doc?! HELP!

Sally: Stickers its hurts too badly!! *She started to cry even more*

Lightning Started to cry himself.

Doc and sheriff called over a heli to lift up the rock to free sally. And she did.

Doc put her in a ambulance.

Sally Still cryin very hard.

Lightning: Shhhh........ Its going to be okay.

Sally: Tryed to lean against him but doc wouldn´t let her.

Soon they reached docs clinic.

Doc told lightning to get some rest but lightning refused.

Doc: Go lightning!

Sally: But...I....Wan lightning! *She stuttered in her tears*

Doc: No! Mcqueen, you must go.

Lightning was so mad, sad, and aggervated.

Lightning still refused to leave. So doc told mater to tow him out.

Sally: Sticke-s!!!! * She cried*

Lightning: Sal!

4 in the morning.

Lightning had been up all night thinking about sally, And sally was up all night As well thinking about lightning.

Lightning: I cant! I must go see her! He cried.

Lightning Sneaked into the clinic past doc.

Lightning glared at sally and sally glared at him back. Sally: Stickers?! She *Whined*

Lightning: Shhhh..... He drove up to her and layed on her good side.

Sally Started to cry

Lightning held her tire and started to message it.

Lightning: I am so sorry sal. It was my stupid Idea to take you up there.

Sally: No. Stickers. Its nobodys fault. Please don´t say that. *She teared up*

Doc: Huh? Mcqueen!

Lightning: Oh no.......

Doc: Lightning Mcqueen get out right now otherwise you won´t be seeing her at all!

Sally: No doc! * She held onto lightning crying into his door.

Doc: Ugh!

Lightning: Why can´t I be with her doc!

Doc: Because I said so!

Sally Started Crying hard again.

Doc tried pulling her away but she was too weak to hold onto lightning.

Sally: Stickers!

Doc Forced him out once again.

Lightning couldn´t stand seeing her in pain crying.

Lightning Pushed through doc agressively and got back to sally.

Lightning: Im not letting her go!

Doc: KID WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!

Lightning: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU MEAN!

Sally: Pleas- Stap fighting! She cried.

Lightning: Please doc!

Then 80 mile per winds came through with a severe lightning storm.

Lightning struck and scared the shit out of Doc, Sally, And lightning.

Lightning: Please doc?

Doc: Kid...Im sorry. But I think we have something else to worry about.....

Sally started to cry even worse.

Doc: Listen Kid. Give her a hot wax. Okay?

Lightning: Okay.....

Lightning rubbed the wax all over her body besides her damaged side.

Lightning: Sally....I know we have not....You know..... But I feel like....I just.....

Lightning blurted out, I LOVE YOU SALLY!

Sally was in shock.

Sally: Stick-rs, I lo-e you too *She said crying still*

Lightning Wiped away her tears and smiled.

All the sudden the whole ground shook because the wind was so bad.

Sally Started to tear up again.

Doc was working on her side bandaging her up.

Doc: Alright sally. You can leave but on one condition. You must sleep with lightning.

Lightning looked at doc and smiled. Oh. I think I can do that.

Sally: Oh your so horny! *She giggled*

Lightning Turned his headlights on and lead her into his cone.

Sally: Stickers?

Lightning: Yeah sal?

Sally: I love you. <3

Lightning: I love you too. <3

Lightning cuddled with her until it started storming so badly sally started to tear up.

Lightning: Sally? Are you afraid of storms?

Sally: Stickers....Please don´t tell anyone but....I am *She said sadly*

Lightning: Sal. I don´t care what your scared of. And what your not. I will still always love you.

Sally Smiled and kissed lightning on the fender. Lightning almost fainted.

Lightning: Are you okay?

Sally: Im.......

Sally was so shook up she couldn´t speak.

Lightning: Nuzzled her Until she was getting a little calm.

Sally: Im sorry stickers, Im a lot more than you can handle! * She started crying again*

Mater knocked on the door and 2 in the morning.

Mater: Hey uh buddy!

Lightning: Yeah mater?

Mater: I uh.....Hate to admit it but uh. We think there is a tornado.

Sally Got very scared.

Lightning: We will be okay sally.

Mater heard him calming her.

Mater: Sorry buddeh. I didnt know Miss sally was upset.

Lightning: Its fine mater.

Lightning drove out of the cone.

Sally: Stickers! Where are you going? *She sounded very scared*

Lightning: Im not going anywhere sal.

Sally: Then what are you do-

Lightning: HOLY!

Lightning sped back into the cone and grabbed sally and went to the Motels basement where everyone was.

Sally Started to cry again.

Flo: Honey, You alright?

Lightning: She is fine. Just a little shook up.

Luigi: I feel-a Very Bad-a for her.

Ramone: Same...... And a bunch of other cars Agreed.

Sally Held onto lightning,

Lightning was worried for her more than anything else.

Sally was crying even harder.

Mater: Oh c´mon Miss sally! Cheer up!

Lightning:Mater! Shh! Just let her get some rest for Chrslyer Sake!

Everyone was asleep but lightning and sally.

Sally was shaking and freezing to death. Lightning wrapped her up in his warm blanket.

Sally: Was gripped onto lightning very hard.

Lightning Kissed her on the fender hoping thing will get better, But finally she fell asleep and everything went back to normal in the morning. Next chapter coming soon!
