Zoe Fioravanti is a rising, self-taught singer/songwriter and pop artist, who can trace the origins of her musical career to her childhood: Fiovaranti’s father, who managed bands in the ’90s gifted her a toy piano that she learned to play by ear when she was just eight. Early on, her self-taught style was heavily influenced by Billy Joel, Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Michael Jackson.  As a…

Papas Caring For Hospitalized Reader

Spawned from pure self-indulgence. I've been through more hospital visits these last four weeks than I have my entire life. I want someone to bundle me up and make my hand better. I hate hospitals and operations *sobs*. Enjoy nonetheless!

Content: 2k words, Papas x gn!reader, SFW, bullet-pointed format, mentions of hospitals, needles (only mentioned), mention of general anaesthetic, angst, hurt/comfort, anxiety, lots of sweetness, you're getting pampered, no beta we die like nihil!)

This man will do everything in his power to make sure you’re looked after and relaxed. 

Tea for days! He will try different flavours until he finds the one you like.

Dives headfirst into deep research as to which herbs help your injury heal, as well as calm your nerves. He knows his plants well, but he wants to know more. You deserve the best of the best.

Insists on going with you for infirmary visits even when you tell him you’re fine (you’re not really, but you just don't want him to worry.)

He will anyway. 

Chronic worrier, especially given his age. 

He takes his health VERY seriously, yours too! The Ministry has the best medical care around. 

If you need a wound cleaned, stitches taken out, or other medicines, it's the place to get it. 

Primo will be with you as much as he’s able to, even if that means he’s sitting for a long time while you’re being treated. 

When you’re free and discharged—bandaged, bruised and probably feeling sore, he’ll take you back to his room for some TLC. 

Will have a bath or shower with you, (in his jungle of a washroom), depending on what you prefer and smother you with all your favourite scents.  

He’s a deeply caring individual and shows it openly. 

Will speak gently to you, whisper sweetly and ensure you’re not overstimulated more than you have been. 

“Shh, I know. I know amore. It’ll be over soon, just breathe for me.”

He knows how much you hate hospital/doctor visits. 

You can squeeze his hand if you want. 

If you need space for a bit after everything, he’ll gladly give it. 

If not, prepare to receive a lot of kisses, especially on your forehead (a lot of them, like… SO many.)

He will help you bathe if you’re unable to, running a foaming washcloth over your skin carefully. 

Let him wash your hair! It’s one of the things he adores doing for you!

Once you’re washed, warm and feeling more relaxed it’s time for more tea in bed with a snack if you want one!

He insists. Even if you don't feel like eating, try to drink something for him <3

“It will help you feel good and relax, Il mio fiore.” (My flower)

Fluids are important (wink-wonk).

Reminds you to take your meds like clockwork (always with tea and water)

You’re his petalo (petal) and he loves you dearly. 

Will wrap you up in the mountain of blankets and faux furs he has on his lush bed. He’s old, he feels the cold more than others. At least he has you to keep him warm.

Secondo hates when you’re hurt/hurting in any capacity. 

Even if it's something minor, he’ll worry about it to the point where he loses sleep over it. 

He’s a big, brooding mother hen. 

The Emeritus curse of being a chronic worrier doesn’t stop at Primo.

This man wants you to be okay and it kills him when you’re not. 

Will also go with you to the infirmary and stay with you. 

The staff always find him a little intimidating, but they know he’s just worried sick. He’s kind to everyone, but honestly, he won't speak much unless spoken to. 

“Are you alright, mio tesoro?” Is what he mainly asks, his voice so low it's close to a rumble. 

Tries his best to make you feel relaxed. 

Will make really, god-awful dad jokes that are so bad you do laugh. 

He will quietly hold your hand the entire time, rubbing his bare fingers over our knuckles. 

You rarely see him remove his gloves in public, but he HAS to be touching you. He insists. 

He’s had enough knocks and breaks in his life to know how fragile the human body can be, but also how incredible it is at self-repair. 

That doesn’t mean he views you as a fragile thing that needs to be wrapped in wool, but he loves you so deeply he would if you let him. 

He admires your strength and resolve as you put up with being poked and prodded (by needles or with doctors.) 

Once you’re released from care, good luck getting him to be anywhere less than within touching distance. 

You’re getting a kiss. Lots of them. Mostly chaste and gentle. 

You can tell it's because he worries about hurting you. 

He relaxes a bit more when you kiss him HARD and bite at his bottom lip. 

Will also help you bathe and shower. Again, touching distance. Just let him be near you for his own sanity. 

Though he wouldn’t be upset if you need some space. He’s very understanding if you’re overstimulated. 

Will linger outside the door in case you need anything. 

Let him dry you off and dress you in comfortable clothes. He can see you that way. 

He can see you’re still with him and that you’re safe. 

He’ll touch you slowly, running his large hands over your skin. 

Will spoon you once you’re in bed or let you curl into him. 

He’ll bury his nose in your hair, breathe you in and say a wordless prayer to Lucifer that you recover quickly. 

“Ti amo.” You hear him whisper as he presses a kiss to your forehead and strokes your hair.

Only falls asleep once he’s sure you have, holding you close the entire night. 

Terzo. Oh, Terzo. 

Emeritus curse of being a chronic worrier? Check. Turn it up to eleven. 

Unlike Secondo, Terzo is open with his worries. 

He’s a fair mix of his brothers, both gentle and occasionally stoic given the shape you’re in. 

If it's something minor, he’ll try to play it off with a bit of humour like he tends to do. He’ll make bad jokes (oh ho, you thought Secondo’s were bad just wait for this.) 

If it’s something you need an operation for, this man will be silently out of his mind. *insert any internally screaming gif here*

He takes pride in his appearance, but you’ll start to notice cracks—dishevelled hair, a button not done up or a smudge of his paint. 

It would worry you more if he didn’t have Omega or one of his brothers to make sure he’s drinking and eating regularly.

Tries to hide his stress. Fails. Rinse and repeat. 

He doesn’t want you to worry about him, you’re the one in pain, about to be put under and Lucifer… What's he going to do if something happens?

He loves you. Adores you. You’re his life.

He knows how much you hate being stuck in hospitals and it pains him to see you stressed. The last thing he wants to do is add to that, so he’ll play it cool. 

When you go in he’s pacing the halls.

Rest assured, the healthcare of the Ministry has you in safe hands. 

It puts Terzo at ease, but don't expect him to leave your side when everything is over. He will sit at your bedside, kiss your knuckles and stroke your hair. 

Let him touch you. Just let him. 

He’s been through so much heartache in his life. 

Will kiss each of your fingers and whisper sweet words to you. 

“You’ll be okay, vita mia. Cuore mio. I’m here. I’m with you.” (My life. My heart.)

Maybe he’ll hum some songs too. 

You’re his everything. 

Once you’re ready and well enough to leave, you’re getting pampered to hell and back. This man worships the ground you walk on. 

Whatever you want it's not too much. A bath? A shower? Just to get into bed and fall asleep? Terzo’s right there with you.

Dinner in his massive, plush bed with your favourite movie.

When you’re ready to sleep he’ll plaster himself to you. He would crawl inside your skin if he could. 

Fitful sleeper. Wakes up a few times just to make sure you’re ok. 

Eventually sleeps soundly once you kiss his worries away. 

Stroke his hair. He’s a sucker for that!

*Copia is not Nihil’s son in my verses/AUs unless explicitly stated.*

He’s learned bad habits from the Papas it seems. 

Worrier. Yes, it's chronic. Seriously, are we sure this isn’t like the flu?

Paces a lot. 

Good luck getting him to sit still. 

If he's not pacing, he’s as close to you as physics will allow. 

Lots of touching. Will rest his head by your hip if he’s tired from all that pacing. 

Perfect opportunity to run your fingers through his hair.  

He’ll hold your hands and kiss your knuckles. 

All that stress tires him out. 

“Mi dispiace, amore. Non sto aiutando,” he’ll whisper brokenly. (I'm sorry, amore. I'm not helping.)

You two probably end up curled up on the bed of the infirmary together if you have been waiting a while. A nap won't hurt. 

You kiss slowly as you get comfortable, limbs tangled.

The angle is a bit awkward. 

The sleep helps but he’s still going to be stressed when he wakes up. 

Will get you anything you need. A drink or food, perhaps one of the really nice yogurts they do at the visitor's cantine. 

Will ask the nurses and doctors SO many questions. He likes to be informed. Gets stressed if anything is unclear. 

Maybe he should be in this infirmary bed and not you. 

Prepare to be coddled once you’re discharged. 

You’re both taking a long, hot bath or shower. 

He wants to wash you down so he can see you and make sure you’re ok. Lots of tender kisses to your skin. 

Ends up with you in his arms under the hot water just swaying together. 

You’re wearing his clothes. No, not just because he likes how they look on you but because they’re baggy and won't irritate your skin *cough*. Sure Copia. 

He’ll order your favourite food and you can watch a movie in his room together. 

Will mother hen you, constantly ask if you need anything, and make sure your water glass is full. 

He probably will cry. It’s just been so much. 

You can cry together if you want. You both understand. 

Also like clockwork when it comes to medication (if you’re taking any.) 

Curls up in bed with you. You both sleep like the dead after such a long, stressful day. 

Breakfast in bed when you wake up.

*Copia is not Nihil’s son in my verses/AUs unless explicitly stated.*

Copia might not be of the Emeritus blood, but unholy shit does the curse of being a chronic worrier catch like wildfire. 

He’s Papa now he’s gotta be strong. 

Will put on a brave face. But underneath he’s still the cardinal he was years back. 

He’ll worry and fret and pace. There's no changing some things. 

While he’s outwardly less anxious, this poor man has so much weighing on his shoulders after he took over to front the band. 

Inwardly it's chaos. 

His hair is never quite as smoothed back as it normally is and his paint is a touch worn. 

There are some things you can't change about a man. Not really. 

Prepare to be coddled, again. The mother hen has never left the coop. 

He’s going to pamper you when he gets you back to his room. Of course, you’re staying with him, he’s not letting you go. 

So. Many. Kisses. 

This man loves kissing you. He adores you so. 

A bath in his spacious tub is just what the doctor ordered. You lay against him and relax in the dim with only the light of candles. 

Finally lets himself cry. 

You shush him, kiss him and remind him that you love him and that you’re ok. 

He loves you so much he can't even express it. The thought of losing you kills him. 

He tries to push your hands away when you take a cloth to his paint. You’re the one who's been hurt and poked at all day, he’s supposed to be caring for you!

Eventually relents because you both know you need this. 

More kisses and mutual washing. You love seeing how his skin pinkens across his cheek, arms and back. It brings out the pretty freckles all over his body. 

When you both get into bed, tangled up again, Copia will whisper how much he loves you until he’s too tired to talk anymore. 

You both sleep like the dead.

WIP Wednesday Game

It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

Requested/Friend event mentions under the cut! If you'd like to be pinged next week, let me know!

Flawless

pairing: tangerine x reader

cw: alcohol, strong language and violence

word count: 1,486

‘i fell in love today,

there aren’t many words that you can say that

could ever change my mind.

she’s enough for me, she’s in love with me

you’re a doll, you are flawless.’

════════════════

You open your car door once the taxi pulls up outside of the bar, you step out the cool air wrapping around your body making you shiver. You walk towards the bar door, show your id and enter. You scan the area for Tangerine and Lemon, you spot them in a booth and approach them.

“Hi!” You sit down beside Tangerine. Lemon on his other side.

“Hi love.” Tangerine replies, passing you a drinks menu. Your attempt to hide the blush of your cheeks by looking intensely at your menu.

You pick your drink, vodka cranberry and Lemon goes to the bar to order. Tangerine asks you about work whilst Lemon gets the drinks, you go off on a slight rant about your boss who very clearly overworked you because no one else was as dedicated as you were to rising up the ranks. You were a starting out art designer and this was your first firm placement. Tangerine just listened, that’s what you liked about him. He never told you to shut up when you rambled on about anything, he listened and responded with exactly what you needed to hear every time.

Lemon returned, gave you your drink and settled back down on his seat.

“So why didn’t either of you let me know you were leaving the city for a week?” You raise an eyebrow whilst eyeing them suspiciously.

“It was last minute work stuff,” shrugged Lemon.

“What did you have to go on a super secret mission to kill the Mafia or something,” you tease.

“Not the Mafia but something like that.” Tangerine says casually. You still couldn’t believe their jobs, you definitely should’ve been scared of them but you’ve know them for a long time, enough time to trust them with your life.

“And we found our Diesel,” Lemon says. You laugh at how proud he looked. “Right under our noses the entire time, playing us like fools.”

“Only time it’s ever been beneficial.” Tangerine mumbles.

“So you admit that it isn’t childish and stupid.” Lemon responses.

“It is childish and stupid. I’m sick of hearing about it,” Tangerine grumbled, finishing his drink.

“Oh come on Tan, it does no harm.” You nudge him. He just rolls his eyes at you, “you’re so grumpy. Lighten up.”

He just shakes his head, but you see him crack a smile. It makes you smile in return, you couldn’t be more of an opposite from Tan, he was a little grumpy and sometimes too serious. And you were the opposite, you were too friendly and extremely spontaneous. You talked he listened, he was neat you were all over the place at times, he was calm and you were lively. But somehow that was literally everything, and Lemon was the glue that held you all together. He was the perfect mix between them both and your metaphorical partner in crime (Tangerines literal one).

However you knew that a few drinks made Tangerine much chirpier and that you used to your advantage. So now you all sit absolutely wasted at the bar, Lemon orders the fourth shot. The three of you finish another shot, then just order a drink. The bar around you was busy and lively, the music was pumping through your veins and you felt electric.

You were mid conversation with the guys when you hear some intense ranting. A man is giving off about the bartender yet no one is listening, which just urges him to continue.

“Oi. Can you hurry the fuck up and take my order,” his voice fumes from behind you.

“I’ll be with you in one minute I’m serving a customer.” The bartender responds.

“I told you to take my fucking order. Are you stupid?”

You turn around in an instant to the source of the demands, you make eye contact with him and he just scoffs at you. “And she told you to wait a minute.”

“Who the fuck was talking to you?”

“Oh get over yourself. Piss off and leave her alone, it’s busy in here just wait.”

The man only ignores you and turns back to the bartender. “I swear to fucking god you’re such a useless bitch. I want a drink, so hurry the fuck up.”

“Please let me sort this couple out first.”

“Fucking ridiculous. You’re ridiculous.”

You stand up and come to face like him, you were livid by the vermin he was speaking. “You’re the ridiculous one here. She told you she’s busy! Just fucking get out you dickhead!” You shouted. He crossed his arms, trying to assert power in the situation.

Tangerine and Lemon both instantly turn around to look at what’s going on, Lemon was extremely taken aback by your confidence but he was impressed. But Tangerine was fascinated, he had never seen you riled up before.

“This has absolutely nothing to do with you, turn the fuck around again no one cares about what you have to say.”

“Im sure they care a lot more than watching a shallow waste of space cry because he’s not the top priority.”

“You fucking bitch.”

“What the fuck did you just call me?! A bitch. You think I’m a bitch? Well I think you’re a greedy spoilt little prick.”

“Oh my god she’s brilliant.” Tangerine says, completely starstruck. Lemon only nods in agreement. They couldn’t believe the fire you had inside of you, it was so intense. The man you were arguing with looked threatened, but he couldn’t accept defeat.

“That’s rich coming from you sitting there with two men, like a fucking whore. Look at you,” he looks you up and down, you suddenly feel extremely self conscious of your outfit, even though it was barely showing cleavage. “You look like a fucking prostitute.”

You don’t even take a moment to think and before you knew it your fist collided with his nose, sending him to the ground. People watched in shock, no one not even you knew what just happened it was all so sudden.

Tangerines mouth falls open, as he watches everything go down. There was something about seeing you like this that made everything click. “Fucking hell I love her.” He says, dead serious yet dazed.

Lemon does a double take and stares at Tangerine. “What?” He looks at you, prouder than ever but knew him and Tan needed to get you out of the bar before the man attacks you.

They both speedily usher you out and the three of you sit curb side outside the bar.

“What the fuck just happened,” Lemon floundered, you shake your head in response. You anger was settling and you were just calming down.

“If I see that bastard I’ll tear his fucking head off,” Tangerine says, you could tell he was mad, rightfully so considering what the man had said to you.

“I’ll vouch to that.” You respond.

Lemon inspected your hand of which you used to punch him. Your knuckles were swollen and inflamed.

“I’ll go get you ice.” Lemon goes off to get ice, leaving you and Tangerine.

You look up at the sky admiring the stars, they were one of your favourite sights and looking at them always grounded you. The alcohol was slowly wearing off, leaving you just over tipsy.

“Sorry for not setting in back there,” Tangerine says, his voice comes out soft. You look at him and shrug.

“It’s no big deal,”

“I would’ve have thought you’d argue with someone in the bar, I was impressed, you were slightly terrifying.”

You softly laugh, Tangerine just smiles. “Well his attitude just pissed me off. But.. I feel terrible for causing a scene. I seemed like a crazy bitch.”

Tangerine turned around so he was basically facing you, “you didn’t cause a scene you done what needed to be done.”

“I guess, but everyone probably thought i was some flawed psycho who’s violent.”

“No. No don’t say that,” Tangerine puts his hand on yours and looks at you; his expression is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. His eyes are soft yet fierce, but they hold so much value to his words. You’ve never seen or heard him be so considerate before. His voice was gentle, not grumpy and his touch was comforting, but you liked this side of him.

“It’s true.”

“Believe me, you’re flawless love. You fought that man to help someone else, that shows how kind you are. Anyone who saw everything go down acknowledges that.” He stroked your hand with his thumb, you smiled at his words, a blush dusting your face.

You rested your head on his shoulder and you knew there was a shift in your dynamic with Tangerine from there onwards. You’d always secretly wanted him but you thought you were too boring and too average for him, but the way he spoke to you and the way he looked at you made you feel like you were on fire.

Sending a headcannon and I got carried away:

Our Dragon-Parented Dragonslayers needed to learn modern Fioran (or whatever languages Earthland X777 had) after arriving in the future and Natsu's the one with the biggest grasp of it.

These kids were from 400 years in the past when there was a huge dragon-feud going on. If Nirvana and Dragnof are any indication, multiple civilizations fell during that time and with it the loss of several languages. Whatever language they had been taught (which was likely at least one form of dragonic at the time...because dragon parents), it's probably considered extinct in X777.

But thing is I think Natsu may have been the only one to get lessons on how to read and write Fioran.

Gajeel? He got stuck in Phantom Lord, which (to put it nicely) had a sink-or-swim philosophy towards it's members. He probably picked up on a bit on his own, but likely also struggles reading job assignments and won't let anyone know he is (side headcannon: our favorite linguist Levy helped him out once she found out he was struggling).

Wendy? The kid who first got adopted by a runaway prince from another dimension and then by a 400 year old ghost? I don't think either of them know Fioran themselves, much less could teach it. On the bright side, she probably also knows ancient Nirvit.

The Two Sabergoofs? Same case as Gajeel. Rogue's hit with a double whammy since he supposedly hung around Phantom Lord before getting yeeted to Sabertooth's guildmaster. Though this probably leads to a few complications once Sting is guildmaster and has to start filling out paperwork.

So much to everyone's surprise, out of all of them Natsu - who got seven-years worth of supportive family at the orphan daycare - is the one who can read/write in modern language best.

It's not a unique headcannon by any means but one of my favorites. Thoughts?

Y'see this is what im talkin bout, some good ol' analysis stuff.

I had a post aaaaagggeeees ago (if i find it back i may link it) bout like a crack situation where the team got forced to speak their first languages and natsu n wendy got stuck speaking their og ancient fioran languages and no one could understand wtf they were saying (and they couldnt understand each other neither bcus i had it that they were speakin different dialects of ancient fioran but details.). But i am gettin off track.

I always hc that most of the slayers didnt end up in Fiore when they got shot to the future, itd be kinda boring if they all ended up on the same continent. So Gajeel for me landed in Bosco so he learnt Boscan first as his modern language before he made his way to fiore to learn the language there by osmosis. I think Gajeel as a character especially to me with his spying skills and generally personality is super discerning with his desire to know information. So i think he's largely self taught with everything when he was on his own and knows 2 languages fully- Boscan and Fioran- but his fioran is weaker especially when it comes onto the writing part. And he vaguely knows phrases and terms from a bunch of diff languages.

Wendy landed closer to the border of Fiore and Seven before mystogan picked her up. I'd like to think that the language in Edolas and Earthland is largely the same orally (but it'd have a whole different written language) so he managed to teach her how to speak modern fioran but write in modern edolas. Which was a weird disconnect when the team found out down the line lmao. When he left her with cait shelter she picked up that additional language (which is a purely oral language) and is probs the only person left in modern fiore who can speak it (Levy loves her for it)

Sting got yote to Caelum before somehow making his way over to Minstrel then Fiore, he speaks a weird combo package of slangs from all 3 and he's not fully fluent in all of em (fioran is his best) and sometimes when he can't remember a word in one he'll supplement it with a word from another. He's ironically better at the written languages with them than speakin em.

Rogue met Sting in Minstrel briefly (didnt stick around with each other and then ran into each other again in fiore) but Rogue never picked up on Minstrel's language easily so he only picked up on fioran when he eventually made his way over. He knows brief smatterings and terms from other languages from his time hanging out with phantom lord but is only fluent in just the one.

Natsu's the only sucker who landed squarely in Fiore and was picked up by Makarov who had him fluent enough in speaking modern fiore before he got him back to the guild. He didn't get around to starting him with writing so that was a task for the others to teach and get him up to speed (to varying success. His handwriting sucks ass). I also like to think he hung around a decent amount with Levy when he was younger (he liked listening when she read her stories aloud) so he has a weird mixed bag of being able to read and understand a whole bunch of random language bits despite not actively trying to learn em.

Ok byyyyeeeeeeeeeee

Ruben Dias - Lost in Sardinia Part 1/8

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who helped me pick the name of the heroine in this story, I had so many to choose from. However, my co-author has spoken and Fiorella will be her name.

Thanks again and enjoy! ❤️

Fiorella beat the sunrise as she was already out of bed. She draped on the summerdress she wore yesterday, picturing her nonna's taunting voice, "Ladies never wear the same attire twice Fiorella. It's important that you learn this if you wish to find a man to marry someday."

To that Fiorella would say, "Nonna, does a man wish to marry a dress or the woman wearing the dress?"

"Don't be silly Rella, a man is marrying the woman wearing the dress."

"That decides it then. I will marry a man wearing nothing but my birthday suit. That way I'll be sure he's marrying me and only me."

Her grandmother would then shush her out of the house, muttering "That girl. Why can't she be more like her sisters?"

Fiorella tipped her way down the stairs in an attempt not to wake her family. Her black labrador, Pluto, raised his head at the sight of her.

"It's time, Pluto." She whispered.

He rose to his paws, tail swiping in the air with his excitement. The two left the house, Fiorella on her bike with Pluto running alongside it.

Fiorella had always loved the thrill of diving into the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Growing up in a tiny village on the west coast of Sardinia, she had spent countless hours exploring the underwater world, searching for hidden treasures and discovering the secrets of the sea.

On this sparkling morning, as the sun began to rise, Fiorella ventured into the depths once again, her heart filled with the excitement of what she might find. As she weaved through the swaying seagrass and the playful fish, she spotted a small boat floating above her. Curiosity piqued, Fiorella swam closer, her dark curls trailing behind her like ribbons in the water. She peeked above the surface and saw a man sitting in the boat. He appeared to be gazing intently at the horizon, lost in his own thoughts. Fiorella surfaced gently, trying not to startle the man. She suspected him to be a tourist, drawn to the beauty of her village's coast. But as she swam closer and looked upon his striking features, she knew he was no ordinary visitor. His hazel eyes sparkled with hidden stories, and a subtle smile played on his lips. He possessed an air of mystery that fascinated her.

Without thinking twice, Fiorella impulsively decided to make him feel welcome, embracing the Sardinian hospitality that ran in her blood. She emerged from the water onto the docks, her petite frame dripping water onto the aging wood.

The man turned his gaze towards her, startled by her sudden appearance.

"Buongiorno." She smiled.

His eyes traveled from her head to her toes, stopping to stare at her dripping curls. "Can I help you?"

"It's a lovely morning, no?" The man spoke to her in English. However Fiorella didn't mind. She liked speaking English with tourist, it was the best way to learn. "And, you're suppose to say Buongiorno."

"Huh?" The man looked puzzled.

"It means good morning." She said, taking a look around as she stood on the docks. It was a nice boat, not suitable for fishing, but still nice.

"I know what it means." The man muttered, he looked tired, perhaps not an early riser like her.

"So why didn’t you say it?"

He raised his brow, startled by how frank she was. Her parents hated when she did that, teasing the tourist, but it's what all the locals did.

"Perhaps we should try again? Buongiorno, I'm Fiorella, who are you?"

The man watched her from where he sat on his boat, unsure if she was teasing him again.

She chuckled "Go on, it's your turn."

He shook his head. "Buongiorna, I'm Ruben."

"Last name?"

He frowned. "You didn't tell me yours."

"I'll let you know mine after you tell me yours."

He rested his hands on his hips. "Sanchez, Ruben Sanchez."

"Nice to meat you Ruben Sanchez, these are for you." Fiorella presented the man with her bountiful catch of clams, fresh from the depths of the sea. "Here," she said, tossing him the small fishing net.

He caught it with one hand.

"Welcome to Sardinia." She smiled.

Ruben's surprised expression transformed into a wide grin as he accepted Fiorella's gift. "Thanks."

"I'm Fiorella," she said, her voice filled with excitement, "Fiorella Costa, and this is my dog, Pluto."

The dog barked his welcome.

"My family herds sheep on a farm bellow the village." She pointed to the green hills behind them. "If you're ever on your way, make sure to visit my uncles restaurant on the same road. He makes the best gnocchi, no matter what the Italians say."

Ruben frowned. "Aren't people from Sardinia considered to be Italians?"

He pronounced it like the tourists usually did, heavy on the "I" instead of soft on the "D".

"We are, but I'm also Tunisian, so my family is special."

He nodded. "Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure to check it out."

"Or you could just cook the clams I gave you and call it a day. Come now Pluto!"

She turned her back on the man, not bothering to see his puzzled reaction. She was like that, Fiorella, a horrible tease.

"There she goes again." Her grandmother sighed as Fiorella parked her bike down the road to her house. It was a beautiful yellow house, surronded by acheres of green land scattered with sheep. Fiorella's grandmother (nonna) was seen picking fresh tomates from their garden alongside Fiorella's four year old brother Dino.

"Wet from head to toe. Aren't you getting tired of running down to the docks, diving for treasure?"

"Nope." Fiorella smiled. She kicked of her sandals and stepped into the garden to help with the tomatoes.

"If I hear that you're bothering those tourists again..."

"I'm not, nonna."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

"Good, because you know what your father thinks of them."

Fiorella's father believed that the locals should leave the tourists alone, let them explore our beaches and purchaise our goods, however, that is where we should draw the line. He thinks that never should we invite the tourist to our properties and let them bother us in our homes.

"It's funny coming from him, no?" Fiorella said, helping her brother top his basket with tomatoes. "If it wasn't for nonno... " Fiorella's grandfather on her dad's side, "...being welcomed by a Sardinian family, Dino and I would never be considered local Sardinia's. We'd be Tunisians, wouldn't we, nonna?"

"Stop it with your foolishness child. There is no way for us to know what could have been if your grandfather hadn't married your grandmother. Just be glad that you are considered a Sardinian. We are very proud people you know."

"But our nonno is Tunisian, doesn't that make Dino and I at least a third or a quarter Tunisian?"

"No, now basta."

Nonna grabbed the basket of tomatoes and began marching towards the house. Fiorella lifted her little brother into her arms and did the same.

"We have alot to do this week, with your sister's wedding and all. I expect you to be on your best behavior, Fiorella, meaning no running off to the docks. Your sister needs you here, helping with the wedding."

"But Nonna..."

"No buts. Did I make myself clear?"

Fiorella rolled her eyes, muttering "All clear."

She was curious as for how long she'd manage to stay away. The docks and the sea was her sanctuary. It's where the Mediterranean sea welcomed the land beyond Sardinia and where Fiorella met the most handsome man she had ever seen.

How could she stay away?

*Note from author: Yes, Ruben did give Fiorella a fake last name. Find out why in these upcoming chapters!

Ciao! 😜

[definitelynotriana]

Hey we just got the Disventure Camp All Stars Intro!

It was so good and they improved so much when it comes to animating the scenes :D

Let’s see what we found..

- So it starts off with Emily pushing off Oliver, Marcus and Nina. So by that I’m guessing that Emily is going to be an antagonist, she doesn’t seems very nice. And will probably cause more drama between the contestants.

- And JAMES AND LAKE LETS GO!! These two seem to get along pretty well. I reckon Aiden, James and Lake are going to be a power trio like Hunter, Ally and Tess last season.

- Speaking of Hunter and Ally, I think they might’ve had an issue that happened before the season started. They also could’ve started dating are now becoming extremely toxic and hostile towards each other. And they must be really loud for Fiore to making them to shut up.

- Also I reckon that Fiore and Alec’s arguments and issues haven’t been resolved, from this photo I predict that he’s just telling her all the things that make her a “mistake”, and I don’t think Fiore cares just by seeing the look on her face

- Miriam is on the look out immediately, considering that she was the winner of season 1, and her age. She’s probably thinking that people are going to target her, (which I don’t blame her for) and is probably looking for an immunity totem. I don’t think she’ll make it far though.

- Now the 2 antagonists, Yul and Grett. From the poster of Grett we can already tell that this will discuss weight loss, and her happiness and stuff. This relationship will most likely be toxic since well, Yul’s in this relationship. It’s either that Yul forced her to lose weight to keep dating her or Grett did it for her own happiness and Yul and Grett are actually a good couple, (though I doubt it.) Most likely, Yul will probably use Grett to get further in the game.

- The look on Jake’s face! I really hope he gets a redemption arc this season and makes it far this time, I thought Aiden and Jake would be friends but from this intro I really don’t think so anymore, hopefully I’m wrong? Anyway, seems like Tom and Aiden become friends, although I don’t think Tom and Aiden will start dating considering Aiden already has a good boyfriend. And by Ashley’s concerned face (not this photo), I reckon she’ll try and help Jake from getting jealous.

- We got a new trio!! And Ellie and Gabby! I never thought that Tess would be into painting, but it would be great for these three to get along this season. Especially away from the Ally and Hunter drama.

- Also the way James looks at Aiden!! So cute, also since when were Aiden’s eyes so round?? It looks different, or is it just me?

- And the season 1 cast! I think Jake is going to have some insecurity issues about Tom, considering that his trust has been broken many times. But I hope that Ashley and Miriam would help them (especially Jake) to be a better couple ❤️

- Connor and Riya being center stage! I bet they’re the main couple, I think over the time before the season Riya got famous and became rich, although from this shot she seems to be fame hungry or whatever you call it.

- Also James and Aiden are holding hands! I love them, Ellie and Gabby have their usual stare and stuff, and Grett and Yul as a couple too.

That’s all for now! And also congrats on finishing reading my very long predictions based on the amazing intro! Thank you Odd Nations Cartoons for working so hard!

You won’t hear from me for a couple days because I’ll busy for the next few days so I hope you understand if I don’t reply to anything for the meanwhile. I’ll maybe post again after Christmas next week!

See you next time!

_____________________________________

The streets were almost deserted.

As you reached Piazza del Duomo, the three of you stopped to take some pictures of the beautiful Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore at night.

You were walking together and admiring the right side of the cathedral glowing in the night like a diamond, when Josh asked you information about a statue nearby.

The three of you were standing in front of it and you started to explain the story to them.

"This statue portrays the architect Filippo Brunelleschi. He is the one who designed the dome of this majestic cathedral. He used an outstanding technique to make the structure less heavy and invented extraordinary systems to build it. Here he is portrayed with his gaze directed towards the dome, forever admiring his most famous work." You told them.

They were looking at you with their beautiful brown eyes glittering, surprised again by your knowledge.

"So romantic" Jake said and you smiled.

"And a bit sad, too" Josh added.

"What do you mean?" You asked curiously.

"He is doomed to admire from afar his love, while others admire it, too" Josh said as a lone couple kept taking selfies, picturing the Cupola.

Suddenly, you heard a distant rumble of thunder.

"We better go, before the storm begins" Jake said looking up at the sky.

The three of you started walking back towards the hotel chatting and laughing together.

The twins were a bit tipsy and kept making jokes to make you laugh.

Just when you were a few minutes away from the hotel, big drops of rain started falling.

The three of you started running.

They grasped your hands as you sprinted towards the hotel, that was already in sight.

Josh was leading the way, dragging you along, and Jake was behind you, talking nonsense and cursing the rain with his stupid makeshift British accent.

Once inside, Jake left your hand but Josh didn't. He slowly guided the three of you towards the lift to reach your floor. You were panting and a bit disheveled from the run, clothes and hair damp and sticking to your skins.

When the lift dinged, you exited and slowly started to make your way towards your respective rooms.

Jake was a bit ahead of you.

Your room was the first one, right around the corner.

You and Josh slowed down in front of it, but you noticed that Jake kept walking towards his room, a few doors down the corridor.

Without thinking, you suddenly reached for Jake’s wrist, circling your fingers around it and making him stop in his tracks and turn with a surprised expression.

His skin was burning under your fingers.

"What about a drink in my room?" You suddenly blurted out, cheeks pinkening every second more, looking between the two of them.

Josh squeezed your hand and agreed straight away. His smile was absolutely calm and relaxed.

Jake, instead, looked taken aback and confused.

He shared a long glance with his brother and then smiled, showing his perfect teeth.

"I am not one to turn down a drink, am I?" Jake said, imitating his British alter ego, immediately regaining his footing after a moment of hesitation.

You slowly guided them into your room, and headed straight to the minibar.

You grabbed everything and placed it onto your bed.

As you turned around and saw both of them there, in your room, looking intensely at you, so similar and yet so different, you started to panic.

Your heartbeat accelerated and your skin flushed.

You wiped your sweaty palms onto your dress and excused yourself to the balcony to get some fresh air.

You gripped the cool metal of the railing with your shaky hands and started to take deep breaths.

You noticed the two bracelets they had placed around your wrists in the dim light and smiled.

The smell of rain onto the pavement and the distant sound of thunder helped you center yourself a bit and you managed to ease your heart rate back to normal.

After a few minutes, the door slid open but you didn't turn around.

You felt a hand on your shoulder and you already knew who it was.

Still, you didn't turn.

The hand squeezed your shoulder lightly and you closed your eyes, inhaling sharply.

You turned and Josh was there smiling, beautiful as always, with his rosy cheeks and that dimple you always wanted to bite.

"Hey, baby. How are you?" He asked, placing his hands onto your waist and squeezing.

"Fine" you answered and he chuckled.

"Have I ever told you that you are a terrible liar?" He said playfully and you hid your face behind your hands with a groan.

"How are you really? You don't have to lie to me" He asked again into your ear, this time.

"A confused mess" you whispered, embarrassedly

He chuckled and you hid your face into his neck.

He kissed your shoulder and spoke.

And he never sounded so confident.

"Are you opposed to it?" He whispered, avoiding stating the obvious topic of your conversation.

You mulled over it for a bit and felt a piercing headache slowly creeping up on you.

"Don't overthink this, baby, just…it doesn't matter what other people think, or even what I think. Just do what you feel like. It's the only thing that matters" He said, genuinely.

After a while, he spoke again.

"I am going to ask you again. Are you opposed to it?" He said, holding your cheeks into his hands and keeping eye contact with you.

You surprised even yourself when you shook your head no.

"Words" he said tracing his thumb onto your bottom lip.

You swallowed and answered him.

"No, Josh, I am not opposed to it" you confessed.

He slowly started to back you up against the nearest wall, but yet again, when you were ready to feel the concrete dig into your skin, you felt nothing but warmth and softness.

Before you could say anything, Josh kissed you, making the gasp that was about to escape from your mouth die onto his warm lips.

Josh’s hands stayed onto your cheeks, but you felt another set slowly circling your waist, making you gasp and whine into Josh’s mouth.

As Josh kissed you, a hot breath tickled your ear from behind.

"Hi, angel. Did you miss me?" Jake purred behind you, making your entire body flush with heat.

"Are you ok with this?" Jake asked and you nodded.

One of his hands snaked to your front and reached your throat.

"Say it out loud, I wanna hear it from your lips" Jake whispered into your ear, nibbling at your earlobe with his teeth gently, keeping you in place with a delicate grasp on your throat.

"I want this, please" you whispered, breaking the kiss and looking into Josh’s eyes.

"Already begging, angel? We must have done a great job at teasing her, then, Josh" Jake bragged about.

The smirk that spread on Josh’s lips could have put Jack Nicholson in The Shining to shame.

A shiver run down your spine, when Josh kissed you again, pushing you further into Jake’s body.

The kiss deepened immediately and his hands nestled into the hair at the back of your neck, keeping you in place for him.

He tasted a little like the whisky from the minibar he probably drank when you were outside and cocoa from the dessert. It was intoxicating you in the best way.

Jake’s lips started placing featherlight kisses on your shoulder, right where his fingers had been in that bathroom, when he had fixed the strap of your dress.

You pressed even further into Jake and heard him groan.

You felt both of them starting to stir in their pants and your eyes rolled back.

Jake's lips caused one of your straps to fall from your shoulder and you shivered, making Josh part from the kiss.

He observed you for a bit, with an enigmatic expression, then you saw his gaze lock behind you and you knew he was looking at his brother straight in the eyes.

Then he spoke.

"Let's go inside, shall we?" he said curtly and you nodded, adding a little please.

"Kiss me, first." Jake asked in a whisper.

You turned around and looked at him closely.

His eyes were dark and his lips parted.

He had discarded his hat inside and his white tshirt was damp with rain and sticking to his skin.

You observed mesmerized as his medallion necklace rose and fell with the accelerated rhythm of his breathing.

He didn't dare moving, too afraid to scare you off, so you decided to take the matter into your own hands.

Without thinking, you grasped the neck of his tshirt along with his necklace and dragged him towards you.

Your lips locked with his and you pressed him further into the wall. A little breathy whine that you wanted to hear again escaped his lips.

He was quick to regain his composure, immediately wrapping his arms around your waist and squeezing you even closer against his body.

Your hands slowly untangled his hair from the hair tie and he groaned as a knot made you pull it a little.

The feeling of his warm tongue caressing yours and fighting for dominance with yours made your knees weak like nothing before.

Before you could fall, Josh, who was still behind you, grasped your hips and pushed you further into his brother's front.

When Jake broke the kiss, Josh grasped the hair at the back of your head and guided your mouth against his, making you crane your neck backwards, giving Jake full access to it.

The feeling of Josh’s hard cock against your ass paired with the feeling of Jake’s arousal against your hip had you moaning in the middle of the kiss.

When Josh’s lips freed yours, he was panting heavily.

Jake stopped sucking onto the skin of your neck to whisper against your slick lips.

"We better go inside, wouldn't want to give a show to the neighbors, would we?" he whispered breathlessly.

You let them drag you inside.

"Are you ok with this? Are you ok with him touching you?" Josh said once inside, eyes bearing a slightly worried expression.

"Are you ok with him touching me?" You retorted struggling to truly comprehend what was happening.

"I am, and you?" He answered quickly.

"I am" you said firmly.

"Jake, are you ok with this?" He asked, then, looking at his brother with calmness.

"I am" Jake whispered simply.

A shiver of excitement run down your spine.

"Then, let's stop overthinking this, ok?" Josh asked.

After a quick glance, the three of you agreed and suddenly Jake’s lips were onto yours again.

Every ounce of insecurity dissipated.

His fingers traced your shoulders and dragged down the other strap making your sundress fall on the floor with a soft sound.

Now, you were standing in front of them in your simple black strapless bra and panties, completely at their mercy.

Jake lips didn't leave yours. The kiss was making you feel dizzy already.

You jolted a little when you felt Josh’s lips latch on the skin in the middle of your shoulders and his hands grip your hips from behind.

Jake broke the kiss with a whispered curse, taking in your beauty before him.

He started to back you towards the bed, causing Josh to walk backwards behind you.

Suddenly, you were on the bed, with your back pressed flush against Josh’s front. He was leaning against the headboard and Jake was in front of you, kneeling on the bed.

"Please, say something" Josh begged you from behind you.

Your mind was completely blank so you said the first words that your brain could form.

"Take off your shirts, I don't want to be the only almost naked one." You whispered.

You didn't even have to finish the sentence before their chests were bare.

You whined slightly at the sight of Jake's soft tummy, reaching out with a hand to touch him and you gasped when Josh pushed you backwards, making the skin of your back collide with his flushed chest.

Jake crawled towards you, making his necklace dangle obscenely from his neck, in front of you.

He stopped closer to you so you managed to grab his plush hips with your hands and squeeze him, making him groan.

You were distracted by Josh’s hands as they caressed your inner thighs, helping you position them on either one of his bent legs.

In doing so, he spread them open and you whined.

You couldn't take your eyes off Jake, on his knees between your spread legs in front of you.

He cursed when Josh’s hands crawled back on your body to reach your covered breasts.

He squeezed them, making you arch your back.

"It's ok if I take this off?" He asked kindly.

"Please" you begged.

A growl coming from Jake made your attention focus back on him.

His eyes were darker and his cheeks flushed with heat. His linen pants were doing a poor job at conceiling his evident state of excitement. The outline of him was crystal clear in front of you.

When Josh unhooked your bra and the item fell from your body, you watched, mesmerized, as Jake’s eyes squeezed shut and his head dropped forward.

Josh’s hands started caressing your breasts carefully and you bit your bottom lip not to moan.

When his thumbs started playing with your hardened nipples and pinched them, a muffled cry escaped your lips.

Jake’s eyes were smoldering as he admired your exposed body and you shivered, grasping the sheets between trembling fingers.

You had never done something even remotely close to this, so your brain was having a hard time settling down.

Josh trailed his fingers downwards and skimmed them along the waist of your panties.

Then, you felt one of his hands move closer to your center, cupping your heat over your panties and making a groan leave your lips.

"Josh" you gasped out of breath, arching into his touch and feeling his hard member poking your ass.

All the while, Jake observed his every move and every minuscule change in your expressions.

His hands opened and closed into fists rapidly at his sides, itching to touch and grab more skin possible.

"Jake" A whisper of his name escaped your lips and his hands flew to your knees, keeping them spread open.

"Jake, help me take these off" Josh whispered, hooking his thumbs into the fabric of your panties.

A growl left Jake’s lips, but his hands hooked on the sides of your panties, too.

"Are you-" Jake started to say, but you interrupted him.

"Please, Jakey" you whimpered through gritted teeth.

"Fuck" he whispered and slowly dragged the fabric from your body.

Josh gasped and whined as he observed the little string of the arousal connecting you to your wet panties break, as his brother peeled them away from your body.

"Have you been this wet all evening, baby?" Josh asked and you choked on your answer.

You nodded and they both groaned.

Jake couldn't take his eyes off from between your legs.

He seemed hypnotized.

"Really, Jakey? Stunned to silence? Are you sure you are going to last long enough to taste her, or are you gonna do that with ruined pants?" Josh taunted his brother with a devious smirk on his face you could hear in his voice.

Jake’s burning eyes locked with his brother's and suddenly, with the grip he had on your knees, pushed you downwards against his brother's crotch, making him curse.

"Fuck, what was that for?" Josh retorted to his brother, who just shrugged and locked eyes with you.

You were panting and shaking. Being in front of them like this was making your brain short circuit in the best way.

Jake’s eyes trailed slowly down your body and stopped between your legs, again.

At the same time Josh put his hands on your knees and pressed them further up, towards your chest, managing to spread you open even more that you already were for his brother to see.

Jake’s eyes rolled back as he took in the wetness covering you as it slowly trickled down towards your ass.

He pressed his face against the inside of your knee and moaned your name, unable to peel his eyes from your glistening lower lips.

His hands started caressing the back of your thighs.

His lips were slightly parted and he was panting heavily, his gaze was still locked between your legs.

He was mesmerized and didn't notice Josh’s fingers slowly trail down your chest.

His brother glided his fingers through your wetness and spread it all over you, making you mewl into his neck.

Jake immediately swatted Josh’s hand away and bit his own lower lip with a groan.

Josh, behind you, brought his fingers to his mouth and moaned around them.

"So fucking sweet, baby" He growled into your neck.

Jake cursed and leant his head further against your knee. His hair tickled your skin.

You slowly dragged a hand into his locks and his eyes met yours.

They were burning but his expression was tired and pleading.

You understood that he was holding himself back, but, in reality, all he wanted to do was to bury his face between your legs.

"Please, angel, I need to taste you. Please, let me have it, please." He begged you with a strained edge to his voice, that had your breath catch in your throat.

He couldn't hold back anymore, the torture of having to wait was making him twitch incontrollably into his pants and his hands were shaking slightly.

So was his voice when he started to beg you again.

"Please…" he whispered, sounding on the verge, already.

You placed your fingers onto his mouth to stop him, easing his torture.

"Please, Jakey, touch me, taste me, whatever you want" you trailed off, granting him the permission to have what he and you so desperately desired.

He cursed and lowered towards your face.

His lips connected with yours in a searing kiss.

The feeling of his warm tongue curling against and caressing yours, exploring your mouth, was making you feel dizzy.

After a moment, he detached from your lips and spoke.

"May I touch you, angel?" He whispered onto your lips, caressing your cheek with gentle fingers.

"Please, yes" You whimpered as Josh started sucking a mark on your shoulder, nibbling at your skin.

Jake’s hand trailed down from your cheek to your throat, squeezing lightly and making you moan.

Then, his fingers started tracing a line down to your breasts, where he massaged your sensitive nipples, making you hiss.

With a devilish grin on his face, he started licking and sucking them into his mouth, making you arch your back against Josh’s crotch.

Josh growled onto the flushed skin of your neck as you whined at the feeling of his hardness poking your backside.

When Jake’s mouth moved downwards, goosebumps started littering your skin.

As you felt his warm breath against your core, you visibly shivered.

His eyes connected with yours and he held your gaze, in search for a change of mind, but saw none.

So, he winked and lowered his face.

The moment his tongue made contact with your center in a slow broad lick, your brain blacked out and your body fell slack against Josh’s body with a high-pitched moan of relief.

You granted Jake whole control over your body.

The moan that escaped his lips reverberated onto your skin and your legs threatened to close around his face, trapping him.

Josh noticed and pushed your knees further apart trapping your hands underneath his on your kneecaps.

"Fuck, you are perfect" you heard Jake whimper onto your skin as he tortured your clit with quick kitten licks.

When he decided to suck your bundle of nerves into his mouth, you couldn't help but trash around against Josh, trying to free your hands.

You needed to grab at something to ground you.

"Shh, baby, stay still, let him make you feel good" Josh whispered into your ear and you whimpered.

Jake kept eating you out like the only goal in his life was to make you come.

It felt like he was making out with your pussy. The indecent wet sounds coming from your center as he kept working with his skilled tongue, paired with the absolute hungry grunts and huffs coming from him were making you blush, as they echoed into the otherwise silent room.

Without realizing how close you already were, as his teeth grazed against your clit, you came screaming his name into Josh’s neck.

Jake grunted and slowed down the movements of his tongue, helping you ride out your orgasm as he kept grinding his hips against the mattress.

But he didn't stop his torture.

His movements didn't stop and you started to squirm against Josh’s hold.

He decided to take pity on you and freed your hands.

The moment you were set free, you buried both of your hands into Jake’s locks, gripping them so strongly, your knuckles turned white.

Josh kept praising you, his sweet words making you shiver.

You whimpered Jake’s name as he started stroking your clit with the soft pad of his thumb.

"Oh angel, you are being such a good girl for us" Jake whispered onto your cunt before burying his tongue inside of you.

You arched against Josh, who cursed and tensed behind you, grinding his crotch against your back.

Suddenly, you felt Josh’s fingers trace down your chest, lower and lower.

Your eyes widened and you moaned his name when his fingers reached your center, spreading your lips with pointer and middle finger even more for his brother.

You jumped lightly when you also felt Jake's fingers against you.

His eyes met yours from between your legs and he held your gaze as he gently pressed a finger inside of you.

You arched your back and a scream left your lungs. One of your hands was still buried into Jake's hair, while the other clawed at the muscle of Josh’s thigh, making him hiss.

You were so close.

Jake pushed another finger inside and curled them, making you see stars.

He looked into your eyes and winked as his sleek lips encompassed your clit, sucking it into his hot mouth.

With a last strong curl of his fingers, he pushed you over the edge.

You blacked out completely and you didn't hear yourself screaming both their names as you rode out your orgasm.

But, suddenly, you felt something hot and wet coat your back and you heard two similar grunts of relief, one into your ear from behind, and one on the wet skin between your legs.

You didn't even notice that Josh had removed his pants and underwear.

The three of you were panting messes and for quite some time, nobody said anything.

When finally, you had calmed down, you managed to regain consciousness on reality.

You were still pressed against Josh’s chest, his cum slowly drying between your bodies.

Jake’s face was pressed against your tummy, his hot breath hitting the skin between your legs and making you shiver.

The first one to speak was Jake, his chuckle echoed into the room, followed immediately after my another chuckle, Josh’s one.

"Shit, angel. You made me come in my boxers." Jake said, still laughing.

Josh chuckled at his brother's expense but he was immediately shushed by his twin.

"I wouldn't laugh if I were you, brother. I see that your predicament is no better than mine now, is it?" Jake retorted, raising on his arms to look his brother in the eyes.

You almost moaned at the sight.

His face was flushed and still very much wet. Your arousal was glittering with the orange glow of the bedside lamp.

His hair was completely disheveled because of the strong grip of your hands, but his eyes were shining with so much satisfaction and pride.

"I hate to say this" he started whispering onto the sweaty skin of tummy, "but he was fucking right, angel. You taste so much better than that fruit" Jake finished, biting at your skin playfully.

Then he stood and went to the bathroom to clean up and remove his ruined boxers.

"Baby, I need to get something to clean us up, do you think you can manage to roll over?" Josh asked sweetly.

You nodded but your body felt like jelly.

After a first failed attempt, Jake, who came back with just his linen pants helped you with steady hands and you found yourself in his arms laying on the bed with your face leaning onto his chest.

Josh came back with two damp towels.

He handed one to Jake who gently cleaned up the mess between your legs, making you shiver, and, with the other, Josh cleaned up his drying cum from your back first and then himself.

He discarded them on the floor and came back to lay in bed again.

A sigh of relief escaped the three of you as Jake draped the soft cool bed sheets onto your bodies.

You were out as a light, even before Josh turned off the bedside lamp and rested his head against your back, in the middle of your shoulders.

~

You woke up an indefinite amount of time later to the feeling of something soft and wet grazing your shoulder.

You opened your eyes, but closed them again.

You couldn't keep them open, sleep was still encompassing you in its peaceful embrace.

The feeling didn't fade away, but it moved to the middle of your shoulder blades, making you shiver.

Sleep was slowly leaving your body.

You were conscious of the faint glow of a bedside lamp somewhere behind you.

Another shiver rippled through your body and you became aware little by little of your nakedness.

Images of what had happened not so long ago intruded your brain and, suddenly, you were wide awake, goosebumps covering your body as you recognised the soft wet feeling of lips kissing your spine.

Featherlight touches that had you arch your back unashamedly.

"The night is still young, love" you heard a voice behind you, whispering onto the skin of your back.

You could feel how every syllable rolled off his tongue and landed onto your skin, making you whine.

Strong arms wrapped around you from behind and you were pulled flush against his front.

A light groan escaped your mouth.

You felt his hips grind subtly against yours and you pressed further against him.

He nipped at your lobe and whispered again into your ear.

"You were talking in your sleep, again" he said, a smirk evident in his tone.

You gasped.

His curls tickled your cheek as he grasped your face and kissed you roughly keeping you still on your side with a strong grip onto your hip.

You felt him stir behind you, pressed flush against your back.

His fingers traced over your tummy and slowly dipped between your legs, making you mewl.

"It was a beautiful dream you were having, wasn't it?" He whispered and you moaned his name.

"Josh, please" you whined.

His fingers slipped into you and you sighed.

You felt his cock twitch again at the feeling of your wetness already coating his fingers.

He brought his fingers to his mouth and groaned.

You felt his tip graze your entrance and you arched your back further to allow him to slip into you.

The moment he slid into your warmth, you caught a movement in your peripheral and froze.

Sitting on an armchair in front of you, manspreading, with a smug smirk on his face and his chest bare, there was Jake.

Your eyes widened as you assessed his heaving chest and the hand he had down his undone linen pants, moving in a languid slow rhythm.

When he noticed your eyes on him, his head fell backwards against the armchair and a whiny little breathy sound left his lips.

You clenched around Josh abruptly at that sight.

Behind you, he was keeping a deliciously slow rhythm, savoring the feeling of your body pressed flush against his in a hot embrace.

Josh gasped and whined just like his brother did.

One of his hands pressed on your tummy and you moaned a little "please".

You couldn't keep your eyes open, the pleasure was already blinding you.

So, when you blinked and saw Jake standing next to the bed, you thought your mind was playing tricks on you.

But when you felt the mattress move under someone's weight, your eyes flew open and focused on Jake, glowing like a renaissance painting, laying on his side, facing you.

He still had his left hand in his pants, his rhythm slow like Josh’s thrusts.

"Hey there, doll" his fingers caressed the flushed skin of your cheek, and your eyes fell shut.

He spoke again.

"Is my brother treating you right?" He asked and Josh delivered a particularly sharp thrust making you moan and move slightly up the bed.

"I'll take that as a yes," Jake said, smirking.

"What are you doing, Jake?" You asked, your voice coming out raspy and breathless.

"I am admiring you, doll, you look so pretty when pleasure is making your body shiver and your mouth hang open like that. I wish I could watch you all night." He said, making you clench around his brother.

"And I am assuring myself a first row seat" he added, winking.

Your face twisted into a puzzled expression and he went on.

"I wanna watch your beautiful face contort in pleasure when he makes you cum, angel. Earlier I didn't get that pleasure, remember? I was a little busy with my face buried between your legs to see you." He said, playfully referring to the earth-shattering orgasms he had gifted you earlier that night

You clenched again and Josh groaned.

"Keep talking her through it, brother, she loves it. She is clenching so fucking hard around me" Josh whined.

Jake chuckled and smirked.

"Don't worry, I am not planning on stopping." He said to you.

"I better keep my mouth occupied, angel, before I do something stupid" he whispered onto your lips.

"What do you mean?" You asked in a sliver of voice, as his brother's rhythm quickened, making you move slightly up the bed with every thrust.

His smirk deepened.

"I was thinking about my mouth spoiling your little clit, while my brother fucks your pretty cunt… but on second thought, I have something better for you, angel, since you are being such a good girl for us." Jake whispered onto your lips.

Then, he captured your lips in a heated kiss that had you moaning into his mouth.

When he detached from you, he had a devious expression on his flawless face.

He stopped touching himself and grasped one of your hands in his.

He brought it gently between your legs, making you glide your fingers through your wetness and you shuddered.

Then he guided it towards his face and encompassed your sleek fingers into his mouth.

He moaned around them, sucking your middle and ring fingers into his mouth and tasting you.

The warmth of his tongue licked and soaked your fingers, making you let out a fucked-out breathy moan, that had Josh thrust up harshly into you.

You screamed his name but, you couldn't detach your eyes from his brother in front of you.

He looked absolutely sinful while keeping your fingers in his mouth with a strong grip on your wrist.

He hollowed his cheeks to suck your fingers deeper into his mouth to soak them and his eyes fluttered closed as he moaned around them.

You clenched in a vice-like grip around Josh, who groaned and cursed loudly.

But Jake wasn't finished.

He dragged your fingers out of his mouth and you watched mesmerized as the little trail of saliva that was connecting his rosy lips to them broke, glittering under the feeble light of the room.

They are going to be the death of me, you thought

Then, he guided your hand downwards, with a gentle but steady grip on your wrist and without breaking eye contact.

The moment you understood what he was going to do, it was already too late.

With his grip onto your wrist, he made you glide and circle your fingers against your clit at the slowest pace.

You released a high pitched moan at the different kinds of pressure with which he was making your fingers work.

"Fuck, baby" Josh gasped into your ear from behind you. "So fucking tight."

Jake kept guiding your hand against your heat.

It was becoming too much for you, to the point that you couldn't keep your eyes open.

"Are you close, aren't you, doll?" Jake cooed onto your lips.

"You look so pretty with your eyes rolling back and your mouth agape. This fucked-out look suits you," he added.

You leant your head against his shoulder as Josh’s thrusts kept becoming harsher and stronger, shaking your whole body.

"Look at me, angel, I wanna see you" Jake whispered.

He winked and left your wrist.

You whined at the loss but couldn't bring yourself to resume his rhythm, moving your own hand like he did.

But you didn't have to.

Josh's thumb found your clit immediately and you arched your back as his cool digit stroked you.

Suddenly, you felt a hand on your hip.

Your eyes hastily opened and you were met with a wink and a devilish smile from Jake.

"You are such a good girl, angel" he growled as his hand traveled towards your knee.

Once he reached it, he grasped it and tugged your leg towards himself and upwards, spreading you even more for his brother.

The thrust Josh delivered after that change in position made you see stars.

You could feel him so deep you could cry for the immense pleasure he was providing you.

His rhythm quickened and soon, little tears were pooling in the corner of your eyes because of the strong pleasure.

"Josh" you sobbed and he kissed your shoulder, softly.

"Baby, are you ok?" Josh checked on you and you arched your back almost painfully.

"Y-yes, just… so close" you managed to say through moans and whimpers.

"We are gonna get you there, angel, relax" Jake said.

In that moment, intrusive unwanted thoughts invaded your brain, almost making all the pleasure fade away.

You felt incredibly dirty for what the three of you were doing.

You almost started to panic, unfocusing on your pleasure and thinking about all the horrible words people would use to describe you if they knew this.

Jake immediately understood something was wrong with you.

He grasped your cheeks and started whispering sweet words of encouragement to you, caressing your flushed cheeks delicately with his thumbs.

"Hey, hey, angel. Shh, concentrate on my voice, c'mon. Stop overthinking this. Just let your body feel. Focus on him, baby, and relax. Relax for us."

He whispered onto your lips gently, saying your name softly.

Josh stopped thrusting into you and kissed your shoulder gently.

"Just breathe for us, sweet girl. Let the air flowing into and out of your lungs guide your mind to serenity. You are safe here. Just keep everything else outside your mind, baby." Josh whispered onto the damp skin of your neck.

You followed their directions and they both praised you in unison.

"Good girl."

Your walls involuntarily fluttered around Josh, who asked for your permission to move again.

"Are you ok? Is this still alright?" He whispered into your neck.

You answered him looking into his brother's beautiful brown eyes.

"Yes. Please move, Josh. You feel so good like this." You whispered.

He did and, slowly, pleasure started flowing through your body again.

You looked mesmerized at Jake, as one of his hands snaked back into his pants, setting a quick rhythm and with the other started rolling your clit between thumb and forefinger.

Your head fell forward on Jake’s shoulder and you arched your back, making Josh's thrusts feel even deeper into you.

Whine after whine, you were slowly careening towards your orgasm and they both noticed.

Jake from the pleas and the little sounds that kept coming from your mouth and Josh from your walls clenching firmly around him.

They started praising you, both of their voices strained from intense pleasure.

"So good angel…you are getting there…you are so beautiful" you heard Jake say, his words punctuated by whines and grunts.

"Cum for us, baby, soak us" Josh whimpered into your ear. His hands grasped your breasts and started rolling your hardened nipples with his thumbs, following the same rhythm Jake kept on your clit.

The pleasure you were experiencing was so intense that you didn't make a sound when the orgasm hit you.

You stopped breathing and your eyes clamped shut.

You trapped your bottom lip in between your teeth so hard that you drew blood, without noticing.

You almost didn't even notice that your orgasm had brought them both with you.

Your ears were ringing so loudly you almost missed Jake's grunts and Josh's scream as they finished immediately after you.

Josh’s body slumped against yours. His forehead against the back of your neck. His ragged breathing made you shiver a little.

You opened your eyes and saw Jake wiping his hand on the tshirt he had discarded before. Then you blinked and he was nowhere to be seen.

You really thought you had imagined everything until you felt a soft fabric on your hip.

Josh slowly pulled out of you and stood to reach the bathroom. You grimaced at the feeling of emptiness as his release slowly started to trickle out of you.

You heard a groan and your gaze lowered. You saw Jake bite his bottom lip at the sight of his brother's cum leaking out of you.

You saw jealousy in his eyes, but when he saw you looking at him, he smiled sweetly, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

"Hey, sweet angel, I am going to get you cleaned up, so you can finally rest, ok?" He whispered.

"Mhmh" you mumbled, already almost gone.

He chuckled at your answer as he dragged a damp towel between your legs carefully.

When he was finished, he placed a little kiss on your hip and went to the bathroom to clean himself better.

Josh, who had just exited the bathroom, curled at your side and kissed your forehead.

The lingering feeling of his lips onto your skin was the last thing you remembered as you fell asleep.

WIP Wednesday Game

It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

[canonically47]

so we all agree that Alec's the main antagonist now, right?

definitely. he's pulling all the strings right now.

the main villains right now are:

fiore. a very, very strong player in season 1, fiore is now unable to strategize and manipulate as well as she previously did, everyone now knowing her shenanigans. she cannot make any bargains... but hunter and ally seem to be willing to work for her. a possible plotline that will be tended to later.

ellie. after messing up the girls alliance, the focus wasn't on ellie all that much this episode. however, we did see tess comforting aiden - will tess turn on gabby and ellie, especially ellie? right now, ellie is in almost no position to win, and desperately needs the villains alliance.

yul. the worst ever, but let's ignore that for a second... and he's still the worst ever. he had an early elimination and everyone knows just how much of a loser he is. without grett, he wouldn't survive a day. which brings me to her.

grett. dependent on yul, but according to my theory on my last post, she might have voted for him, which is incredibly interesting to see. i believe grett will have an important role in the story very soon once this is addressed - which has to be sooner rather than later, since yul is gunning for connor, thinking he voted for him. it's clear that the writers want us to believe grett or riya voted for yul, because they clearly showed us connor didn't.

riya. she's smart, but very, very cocky. her entire plotline revolves around connor. she is disliked by everyone but him, and yul called her what should be classified as a slur, so she's got that going for her.

but alec... now, alec's the great deal here. alec has everyone wrapped around his finger. with miriam gone, grett choosing to vote with him rather than against him and by extention so did yul, fiore clearly by his side, and ellie and riya agreeing as well, alec is the main deal. he's the one pulling the strings, and will be until one of the annoying heroes swoops in - - but when? when will they do that? when jake and tom stop ignoring each other or, at best, fighting? when ally and hunter finally communicate? when connor finds allies? when tess retalliates against ellie and gabby? when aiden, tom and jake work together? it is terrifying just how much power alec holds in the game right now. if the writers don't play some bullshit hErOeS aLwAyS wIn!111!!11! tHe MaGiC oF fRiEnDsHiP and if they write him well, he will play his cards right and make it far, far, FAR. and i cannot wait to watch him burn the world :3

As someone who just got out of In Patient care, could you write headcanons as to how they would greet the reader when they first see them? Maybe it’s actually a surprise and they come to the Ministry first!

I can absolutely do this!! I hope you're doing well after being in inpatient care and that you're taking it easy now that you're home <3 I'm going to write the main 4 Papas for this one as you didn't specify who you wanted, but if you wanted another Ghost character(s) from my list please let me know and I can write the headcanons for them too. I hope you enjoy!! :) also trying a new thing I saw on here where the o or a at the end of Italian words is swapped out with an e to make it gender neutral! If this is wrong to do, someone please let me know! I wanted to make these as gender neutral as possible so that reader can be anyone of any gender so hopefully I've done that well

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨

Because of his age and how fragile his health can be, he wasn't able to visit as much as he would have liked but would video call whenever he couldn't visit in person

He knew you were going to be leaving inpatient care because his admin ghouls keep him updated on your progress

However, they hadn't given him the date because they wanted it to be a nice surprise for him!

You find him tending to the plants in his greenhouse with a couple of earth ghouls, back turned

If you're able to reach, you put your hands over his eyes from behind and do that "guess who" thing that you've seen on TV before when you would cuddle up in bed before you went into inpatient care

If you can't reach or you're too tired to do so, you'd do that corny "honey, I'm home!" that he loves so much

He'll have the biggest, warmest smile that anyone has ever seen

Will immediately pull you into the most gentle but warm and loving embrace

Won't let go for a while

"Il mie fiore, how I have missed you. Was your journey a comfortable one? Come, we should have some tea. I bought your favourite brew especially for your return. Had I know you were arriving today, I would have sent my ghouls to escort you here themselves."

Cups your face, placing gentle kisses all over as long as you're happy for him to do so

He won't pry information out of you, but he will make it very clear that he's happy to listen if you want to talk about your time in inpatient care

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨

One of the annoying parts about being such an important figure in the Ministry is that he can't be by your side 24/7 while you're in inpatient care

And he's already on thin ice with Imperator for using his ghouls to visit you instead of performing their duties around the Abbey (and even Terzo's ghouls when he needed them)

So, Secondo hadn't had time to check when precisely you were leaving inpatient care, just that there would be someone from the Ministry to pick you up and take you home when you needed them to

Imagine his surprise when he returns to his quarters after a long day of meetings, paperwork, and making preparations so that the Abbey was ready for your return if you need any accessibility adjustments

And he finds you waiting for him, laying on his bed with a couple of ghouls adjusting the pillows to make you comfortable

Will immediately send his ghouls out because that's his job damn it!

Plumps the pillows exactly how you want them, will bring you more blankets if you want them, has one of the siblings of sin on kitchen duty bring you whatever food or drinks or snacks you desire (and they will be the finest quality, he assures you)

Lots of slow, passionate kisses but he doesn't push any further than that. He knows you're likely tired from the journey and he wants you to rest up and make yourself at home rather than thinking about his dick

"I've missed you more than I can express, mie piccole uccelline. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to pick you up and bring you here myself. I won't be so flaky next time."

You'll need to reassure him at first that you're not upset with him for not picking you up himself and that you purposely didn't tell him as you wanted it to be a surprise

He'll show you every single photo that he took on his phone while you were in inpatient care to try and catch you up and make sure you don't feel like you've missed out on too much or that he's not considered you

Will also give you all the Ministry gossip that you missed while you were away. People think Terzo is the biggest gossip out of the brothers, but the way Secondo tells you every piece of dirt makes his younger brother seem clueless about the goings on in the Ministry

𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐳𝐨

Terzo is a difficult man to surprise

He visited as often as his duties and the location of your inpatient care allowed, so he was updated frequently on how you were doing and when you were likely to be coming home

However, as thorough and difficult to surprise as he is, there's something he didn't count on

That you, the staff, and everyone privy to the date you'd ACTUALLY be leaving the facility would give him a fake date

And so, in a rare moment, he is caught off-guard and completely surprised to see you sitting at the front pew of one of his sermons three weeks before he'd been told you'd be coming home

The sermon goes out of the window immediately in favour of rushing over to you and pulling you into the tightest embrace that he can muster

You will need to remind him not to be so rough with you and he'll apologise profusely while smothering you with kisses

Your face will be smeared with his papal paint by the time he's done with you

"Mie tesore. Mie cuore. Mie tutte. How did you manage to...? No, that can wait. Come, you must eat."

Straight up escorts you to the cafeteria. Sister almost has a meltdown getting someone else to step in for him. Terzo thinks this is hilarious

He'll sit with you the whole time in the cafeteria. He won't force you to eat anything, but he does make sure your favourite drink is brought to you with some snacks

Spends a lot of time holding your hands, kissing them, putting a hand on your back or an arm around your shoulders, doesn't want to be away from you now that you're finally there with him

𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚

The moment he catches wind of you leaving inpatient care, that's it

He's so anxious about you coming home that keeping him in the dark to try and surprise him feels mean

So you tell him the date, but not the time so that there's compromise there

Yes, it's not a total surprise but there is still an element of it while he gets to count down the days and doesn't fret too much about the when

As soon as he sees you out of the car and the ghouls helping to unload your bags, he's on his tricycle speeding down the path to meet you

Might fall off at one point in his haste

When he finally gets to you, the tricycle is abandoned to sweep you up into his arms as he showers you with kisses and affection (ignores his back pain because he's so happy to have you back in his arms once again)

He'll even cry a little bit from how happy and overwhelmed with emotion he is at the fact that you're here and no longer in inpatient care

"Mie care, how miserable the Ministry has been without you gracing our halls! How was the trip? My ghouls took very good care of you, si? Did you eat? Have you had a drink? Did you nap on the way here? Were you comfortable?"

Despite being kept updated and visiting regularly, he still worries about you and wants to take care of you

Has the ghouls follow behind him with your belongings as he carries you all the way to his quarters, stopping occasionally to adjust you in his arms to make you as comfortable as possible

It's safe to say you won't be leaving his chambers that night. Not for any spicy reasons, but more because he's missed you so much and wants one night where you have each other to yourselves before life starts to return to normal (whatever normal is)

Heeey Raven! Just for the Sillies and funsies, did you when you first started the game had a difficult time pronouncing some of the names in the game? :'D

I first started the game in late 2022, so i joined the fandom a bit late, but let me tell you, i had a hard time pronouncing some of the dorm names! Like some of the dorm names that I had a difficult time pronouncing were Pomefiore, Heartslabuyl, Diasomnia, and ESPECIALLY ignihyde and i'm going to be honest i still have problems pronouncing some the dorm names once in a while! 💀

Like i pronounce Pomefiore "Pom-fi-or" (Weirdly enough at the beginning, i pronounced Pomefiore automatically with an "r" as in "Porm-fi-or.) Another example would be with Octavinelle my brain keeps thinking that it's "octovinelle" with an "o" instead of an "a" because i think of OCTOpus when i pronounce Octavinelle! I've also seen some fans pronouncing Octavinelle "oct-tine-ville" or "Octaville," which i think is really funny cuz no one can pronounce it! It's chaotic. 😂

Some goes for Mostro Lounge, i mentally added “n” to Mostro Lounge at the beginning of the game. I used to say Monstro Lounge until I realised that's wrong! 😭

then there's Heartslabuyl! dear fricking god! What a tongue twist! 😭 I used to pronounce and still do heartslabyul "heartzabyul." I don't know how accurate that is, but it's such a mouthful. 🫠

AND The ONE dorm i had the MOST trouble pronouncing was Ignihyde! 💀 and still can't do it right! Again, I've seen some fans pronouncing it "Ichigyde", "igh-knee-hide" or "Igunihaide".

Also, i keep reading Diasomnia as in Diasmonia, I don't know why, but it's automatically DiasMONIA in my head.

This all some weird Mandela effect! 💀

anyway i was actually going to mention some other funny things i misspelt or mistook something in the game when i first started, but this got so long that i'll just end it here and send another ask another day til then See ya! ✌🏻

I've never really had an issue with the unique names that come up in TWST! Everyone's going to be biased to their own ways of pronouncing the words, but personally I find it helps to break things down into smaller bits. I think I didn't have trouble with the dorm names because of this. If you slow down and take your time with them, it's not so hard. For example, I guessed "Pomefiore" must be said as "Pom-eh-fee-or-ay" because "pomme" means apple in French and "fiore" means flower in Italian. Likewise, the "somn" in "Diasomnia" refers to "somnus" in Lain, which means sleep.

Some of the variations in pronunciation naturally occur because the way things are said in Japanese is different than in English. For example, "Ignihyde" is said "Igunihaide" in Japanese, whereas in conventional English is it said as "Igh-knee-hide". Some people will choose to say it the Japanese way, others will say it in the conventional English way, and some will do it another way entirely. (I also want to point out that some words just sound plain awkward to say in English due to differences in what is considered "normal" grammar and syntax from language to language. "Octavinelle" said out loud is such a mouthful in English because we usually don't see this combination of letters.)

I try to not get caught up on whether or not I'm saying the names of new terms (character names, dorm names, etc.) "correctly" or not, because there is sure to be differences anyway, whether between languages or between individual dialects. (I talk about that more in this post!)

P.S. The "Monstro"/"Mostro" Lounge confusion was probably the most common mistake! That comes from a lot of fans assuming that the lounge must be named "Monstro" after the whale in Pinocchio.

Long Rant Incoming!

I am honestly just exhausted with how the Sailor Moon fandom so often bashes the original anime, in particular when they do so by presuming bigotry of any kind on the part of the staff members.

Sure, show me a quote or an interview where they definitively say something and I will listen with an open mind. 

But why does this fandom presume that, for example, AnimeRei’s interest in men was obviously changed from the MangaRei’s more negative attitude because of sexism?

Or that Usagi being naked in the last episode whilst Mamoru was in his Endymion armour was again rooted in sexism?

Or that old favourite that has now become oh so trendy again thanks to Cosmos, that the Starlights were physically male in the anime (as opposed to simply dressing as men and pretending to be men) because the anime staff were being homophobic. More specifically, that this change was implemented so that the UsagixSeiya relationship was ‘less gay’.

Let’s talk a bit about that shall we?

So....

The original 1992 Sailor Moon anime had two men explicitly in a relationship in season 1, Kunzite and Zoisite.

It had two women explicitly in a relationship in season 3, Haruka and Michiru.

It had a character in season 4 who, to my understanding (please correct me on this as I am not overly knowledgeable on the subject), was trans, Fisheye.

When you go beyond the explicit into merely very obvious subtext, Sailor Moon’s track record for LGBT representation gets even larger. The pair of female animators in episode 21. Fiore and Mamoru’s relationship in the R movie. The fashion designer and his assistant in episode 140. Sailor Lead Crow and Aluminium Siren’s relationship.

Not to mention the UsaRei ship:

Or the MakAmi ship:

It’d be weird for a show with this kind of track record (that was indeed a trailblazer in the context of the time) to suddenly got cold feet over another female-female relationship.

Now there are two counter arguments to this:

a) Most of the above doesn’t apply specifically to Sailor Moon herself, the UsaRei ship being subtextual for this very reason. In other words ‘its okay for side characters’

b) Sailor Stars was under new management. It is entirely possible said new management had very different attitudes towards female-female relationships

Let’s tackle a) first. 

It’s okay to portray side characters in same sex relationships

First of all, Usagi was attracted to Haruka in episode 92. Even after she discovered Haruka was (in her eyes at least) a cis woman she still regarded her as attractive and desirable, usually blushing whenever Haruka flirted with her and being all too happy to dance with Haruka in episode 108. 

Isn’t it a little weird to argue it would be bad for Usagi to be dating another woman when there wasn’t a world of difference between how Seiya in the manga and Haruka in the anime were framed and presented to the audience. 

The main difference was that in the manga Seiya was explicitly pretending to be male and therefore would not have corrected anyone’s presumptions that she was a man, which is exactly what Haruka did at the end of episode 92 when Usagi and Minako discover Haruka is not a cis boy. 

Whilst we might argue that the character of MangaSeiya would have presented herself differently had she not needed to disguise herself, from a narrative POV if the anime had stuck with Seiya being biologically female she would have had to maintain that disguise for the overwhelming majority of episodes anyway. In other words, she would have been presenting herself as a cis male the entire time outside of Sailor Senshi fights. 

Second of all, the anime was still explicitly shipping Usagi and Seiya even after the big reveal in episode 188 where the Senshi and Starlights discover one another’s identities. In fact, episode 189 has Minako explicitly state that the Starlights are in fact girls:

Now, whilst Minako regards this as a dealbreaker for her own romantic affections for the Three Lights, Usagi is still obviously conflicted about her feelings for Seiya. This culminates in episode 194′s famous “Am I not enough?” scene and their conversation in episode 195 where Usagi lets Seiya down backstage and he kisses her goodbye on her cheek.

Before episode 194 the show was going hard on this ‘star-crossed lovers’ imagery and ideas, with the Starlights and Outer Senshi trying to pull the pair apar. Seiya even communicated to Usagi at night whilst she is in her bedroom , which imo is deliberately evoking Romeo and Juliet. Moreover, the animation frankly framing the pair in a romantic light, with plenty of blushes and soft lighting liberally appearing all over the place. 

Sure, on screen you have a biological woman and biological man. But the show has explicitly stated that that Seiya is not a man, or at least from Usagi’s POV that isn’t the case. 

Now one could argue that this is nevertheless reductive. After all, you still have a female role assigned and a male role assigned in the relationship. But again...how different is this really from Haruka and Michiru who are present and as explicitly romantic as ever in Sailor Stars?

In terms of ‘presenting’ as male or female Haruka and Seiya are in the same boat 99% of the time (the 1% is for episodes involving bathing outfits or other forms of partial nudity). Most of the time Haruka visually presents as (for its day) typically masculine until she assumes her Senshi form where she presents as more typically (again, for its day) female. The only difference between the two characters is that the viewer intellectually knows that Seiya has a penis that becomes a vagina whereas Haruka always has a vagina. But since in both cases we never see those particular pieces of anatomy it is a moot point.

So the argument that ‘on screen’ Usagi is not being shipped with a woman is irrelevant. To all practical purposes, from a purely visual POV she might as well have been shipped with someone just like Haruka. It didn’t make it ‘more acceptable’ at all. In particular when you consider the show heavily implies that Seiya’s male body was nothing more than a guise assumed on Earth for the sake of their mission. So, had anyone been extrapolating forwards Usagi and Seiya potentially forming a long term relationship, Usagi would have been in a relationship with someone who was biologically female anyway. 

Third of all, the ‘side character’ argument falls apart when you consider HOW popular Uranus and Neptune were. In Animage’s 1995 poll episode 110 "Death of Uranus and Neptune!? Talismans Appear" was voted the most popular episode. A major reason why SuperS was so unpopular was because the Outer’s were absent, which is why the very first episode of Sailor Stars practically revolves around them. Hell, exempting Usagi, of all the Solar System Sailor Senshi, Uranus and Neptune are the last ones standing, dying in the third to last episode of the entire show. 

This isn’t even mentioning HOW prominent they were in season 3. Like, sure, they weren’t the MAIN characters, but until Hotaru shows up, they were by far and away the most important characters in the show just behind Usagi. Sailor Moon S as a whole is ostensibly one great big ideological debate between Usagi’s idealistic philosophy and Haruka and Michiru’s more hardline realistic philosophy. 

To codify them as ‘side characters’ in the context of season 3 is akin to describing Mamoru or Chibi-Usa as side characters in the manga. That is to say, the difference between them and Usagi is a matter of mere degrees. Are we in all seriousness arguing that those degrees make the difference between how okay it is to present characters as part of female-female relationships? That’s rather ridiculous isn’t it?

Let’s move on to point b).

The new management didn’t like same-sex relationships 

Yes. It is entirely possible that the new management had very different attitudes towards female-female relationships than the people in charge of the prior four seasons of the show. Thus the representation present in the prior four seasons doesn’t excuse season 5 of being homophobic in its decision to make the Starlights biologically male.

You know what else is entirely possible? That there were any number of other reasons for that decision apart from homophobia.

Again, I’m willing to listen with an open mind to anyone that has a statement or an interview or something like that from production staff members that might support the above interpretation. But in over ten years of being a Sailor Moon fan I have yet to see anything that implies this rather damning motivation on the part of the production staff. At which point why is anyone at all just presuming the worst faith interpretation?

Here are some good faith interpretations for why the Starlights were biologically male:

- Making them biologically male could raise a bit of intrigue on the part of the viewers. Even if they figured magic was the reason how they could change from male to female, they’d still be enticed to watch to see the process in action. Which would be even more intriguing compared to four seasons of transformation sequences where girls simply put on new Senshi outfits.

- Making them male made it easier for writers to generate the show’s all important filler episodes and opened up more storytelling opportunities. 

If the Starlights are biologically female it would mean either scrapping episodes or scenes where the Starlights are involved in partial nudity. Case in point, episode 178 where Luna is revealed to have taken a bath with Yaten, episode 183 where the gang vacation at a lake and are in their bathing suits, episode 184 where the gang see Seiya getting out of the shower, or even episode 176 where the Starlights are in dance outfits which naturally are tight fitting and therefore do not leave much to the imagination. 

Perhaps these instances could have still happened with the Starlights as biological females, but it would have been trickier and required a lot more strategic thinking on the part of the overworked writers who were on a deadline. Making them male frankly just made their lives easier

- The anime staff might have simply believed that the idea of three women disguising themselves as men and maintaining such a secret amidst becoming super star idols, attending high school, etc was simply unconvincing, too big of a suspension of disbelief.

- Making them biologically male might have been a ‘creative flex’. What do I mean by this? Simply put it is not at all uncommon for people adapting a piece of media to throw something in of their own invention. 

This might happen out of boredom on the part of the people adapting the source material (it can potentially be dull merely replicating something) or it could occur due to ego (see the majority of modern MCU films and TV shows that change no end of things from the comic books). 

Ego, unfortunately is all too common amongst creative people, especially those who have made it professionally into the entertainment industry. There is a desire by many to put their stamp on a work, even if it is not a work of their own creation per se. 

This may well be the root of several other changes between the manga and the anime too, regardless of whether those changes have anything to do with gender, sexuality, female representation of other such issues. 

- Making them biologically males who transform into biological females, in the eyes of the production staff, might have been more avant garde and progressive towards the LGBT community as it rendered the characters as arguably trans or gender fluid characters. 

- And finally...it may well have just been a mistake. The manga and anime were produced simultaneously but also at very different paces, the manga releasing monthly vs the anime’s weekly schedule. 

Between Takeuchi’s busy production schedule, not to mention however else she was involved in the (by then massive) Sailor Moon brand, it is entirely possible that she either hadn’t decided upon, or simply miscommunicated her ideas for the Starlights, thus resulting in the anime staff misunderstanding her intentions or extrapolating them to be biological men in their civilian forms. 

Indeed, Takeuchi herself misunderstood the Starlights in the anime as she apparently missed the dialogue that implied they were biological females who used magic to become biological males for their mission on Earth. She instead got upset that they were men who were Sailor Senshi.

Now, I came up with the above off the top of my head and don’t have any hard evidence in support of any of it. Which means they all carry  just as much weight as the ‘obviously it was bigotry’ interpretation.

And, once again, I have to bring up the fact that Sailor Stars features Uranus and Neptune in a relationship and arguably even ramps up their flirtations compared to season 3. So, kinda weird that they’d include one female-female relationship in season 5 but would be apprehensive over another one. 

In conclusion

Can we as a fandom please just fucking STOP automatically presuming the worst of the original anime and its production staff?

Seriously, its really, really, really, really WEIRD!

More than weird though, it is simply unfair.

It is unjust. 

It is hateful, even.

Which is particularly ironic since this is a franchise literally built around a character who stands for...well...you know...

Gruvia Week 2024

Day 2: Perserverance.

type: soft/fluff/attempt of Humor, comfort.

characters: Gray Fullbuster/Juvia Lockser, Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Erza Scarlet, Cana Alberona, Gajeel Redfox, and Jason.

This fanfic is also available in AO3.

"Juvia! Hurry or we'll watch it without you!" Lucy's voice rang through Gray and Juvia's house as she called for her "friend. And Juvia really wished she ceased to exist in this moment.

Her interview with Jason was released today in the Lacirama TV and it's going to be viewed worldwide, that itself was stressful for Juvia, it doesn't make it any better that Jason did not mention that her footage will be released all across Fiore.

That liar.

"i am coming!" she sighed, her heart accelerating with anxiety.

she brought the tray of food with her, they were just simple snacks she made for Natsu since she knows he'll ask about them in the middle of their watching session, and she doesn't want him to eat everything that's in her fridge.

Once Juvia came in to the living room everyone was hooked into the screen, except for Gray (and Natsu because he sniffed the snacks) who was leaning by the side of their navy blue coach, he was probably worried that she might not be comfortable.

It eased Juvia's heart a bit.

"Cheer up, it's just an interview" He said, as she bent down to put the tray on their small wooden table.

"Right, it is just an interview witnessed by the whole population of Fiore" she replied, anxiously rubbing her hands over each other. she felt Gray's hand rubbing her arm in comfort and leaned closer to her ear.

"do you want me to tell them to leave?" He suggested.

it's ideal to accept his offer since Gray isn't ashamed of calling out people, or to deny anyone's request if it doesn't sit well with her, it made her stomach flutter with awe.But she couldn't just kick her friends out, it doesn't feel right, especially since they are here for the sake of supporting her.

they don't exactly know why Juvia is avoiding the interview. Just thinking about that answer makes her fume with embarrassment, she hopes she'll melt by then.

Juvia looked at him warmly, and shook her head "Thank you Darling, Juvia appreciates it" she gave a tight grab to his hand and he smiled back, although he is unsure about her response.

Cana waved over for her to sit next in between her and Erza :" come over here star girl" she called her over with a smirk in her face, the nickname makes Juvia cringe internally.

"please don't call me that Cana" she sat down, Cana wrapped her arm over her shoulders.

"why do you feel embarrassed anyways? we are you friends, we won't judge you" her red-haired friend said while she drank tea. Juvia knows she is right but this is about Juvia's hidden guilty pleasure and she doesn't want to be laughed at or brought up to the guild.

Juvia just hummed in acknowledgment.

" besides, you've done enough embarrassing things in your life, this is nothing against it" Gajeel added, Juvia was unimpressed with his teasing and wanted to wipe off that smirk from his face.

Natsu only chuckled at that with his mouth full of blue berry biscuits she baked this morning.

"Maybe shut up and let us hear the interview? it's about to start" and comes her lover to the rescue as usual, even though she did not find the joke bothersome, it is nice to know that Gray is protective of her feelings, he doesn't show it most of the time but when he does, it's subtle, and it always catches Juvia off guard.

"Hello everyone! and welcome back to our show of Q and A with our famous mages!!" Natsu groaned as the rowdy voice disturbed his highly sensitive ears.

"why does he have to do that all the time?" he complained, while rubbing his ears gently.

"Someone has to break the news to him" Lucy added from her seat on the love chair, a frown of irritation was visible on her face.

everyone couldn't agree more, he is a good interviewer but too enthusiastic.

"today we are ready to show you our special guest! she is classy , calm like the water! gentle as the sea but also scary as the turbulence of the ocean! She was a former enemy of FairyTail!" everyone complained about the comment he made, it was completely unnecessary to bring up past disputes and mistakes, but for Juvia it wasn't that bad, even if she wants to wipe away her crimes from her past, that was still something part of her.

" an S-class mage who summons the rain around her, everyone, make some noise for....JUVIA LOCKSER OF THE SEA!!!" there was an added footage of clapping heard from the TV, and flashing lights to make her entrance exciting, it is evident that he put a lot of efforts to make it 'cool' like he usually says.

Juvia's face finally appeared on the screen.

"Here's our girl!" Cana commented, her smile brightening up, Juvia blushed slightly from the attention.

the first questions were all introductory, how Juvia was feeling today, what she ate in the morning and what she is wearing ect, then comes the part of Fans Questions that Jason usually calls FanQs, they are letters sent to the Lacirama device using an app that connects socially to everyone in the world, they get to choose the most interesting questions.

"So Juvia, how come you weren't so tired of pursuing Gray Fullbuster? wasn't he avoiding every affection?" Gray cleared his throat awkwardly, although he is trying to play it  nonchalant but Juvia can feel that he was guilty about it.

"oh, well Juvia did feel tired sometimes but she didn't fell out of love just because Gray-sama didn't love me the way I l oved him, Juvia was happy just seeing him by my side"

"ohhh what an answer!" Cana said.

"Ugh"

"That's adorable!"

"if I were you, I'd leave him" Natsu claimed, that earned him a slap behind his head from Gray.

"Cool!cool! so cool!" Jason exclaimed, making the camera shake with him:" another question from the fans, how do you keep on loving someone without feeling a burnout?"

Juvia took a moment to reply to the question, she hummed in contemplation :" Juvia thinks is because of Perseverance, Juvia didn't expect Gray-sama to fall in love with me, she just focused on being there with him every moment, if he needed help Juvia will be there, and if he needed space she will give him that"

" you would huh" Gray teased, and Juvia looked away shyly, it wasn't completely a lie but she remembered how persistent she was back then, a simple no from him wouldn't make her leave immediately.

"Cool, cool! and very romantically cool!" Juvia just smiled, averting her eyes from the camera in shyness.

"is this why you were acting embarrassed all day?" Erza asked, her cup of tea already empty.

"no, Juvia will never shy away from showing her love towards Gray-sama" she replied confidently.

And then she remembered the unsettling sensation in her stomach, soon they will realize her hidden hobby that would make the world laugh at her. She clinched her teeth.

"then why do you look like Jason is going to reveal some top secret of yours?" Erza's questions were making Juvia feel more nervous than before, especially when her brown eyes are regrading her as if she is hiding something.

"Um..." she couldn't master up any words to cover up her anxious demeanor.

"And now to the last question from the lovely fans! what is Juvia Lockser's guilty pleasure! I am sure every famous mage has some hidden hobby that makes them feel cool! so cool!"

Juvia's smile froze awkwardly on the screen, as if she was caught red-handed.

"well! Juvia is feeling tired, I should probably take a nap-" as she abruptly got up from the couch startling her friends in the process, two big hands caught her shoulders and pushed her gently and firmly down to her seat.

"sit down" Gajeel demanded, still looking at the TV.

Juvia starting to feel the heat temperature rise up.

"is there any chance Juvia could avoid this question?" she asked with shyness, and a bit guilty, she doesn't like to disappoint her fans.

"No sorry Miss Lockser, it's against the rules of FanService" he responded bluntly, Juvia knew that there was no way out to deny a journalist who has a great amount of zeal and curiosity as Jason's, and she can not make up a lie in front her fans, it makes her feel superficial.

she took a breather and sighed.

"alright, if that's what the fans want" she looked at the camera head on "In Juvia's free time, I make puppet shows alone in my apartment, I have my own puppets that I knitted and ... yes... Juvia enjoys it "

"this won't be aired all over Fiore, right?" she whispered to him and he eagerly shook his head as a yes.

"of course Miss Lockser! rest assured it is just a test for our new show!"

she should have denied agreeing with him that day.

There was silence in Juvia and Gray's salon except for the cool chanting of Jason's as he ended the show, Juvia had her face hidden behind her hands, she couldn't face her friends after her revelation, actually, she doesn't think she could face anyone in Fiore.

" That's what got you anxious the whole day?" Gray asked with a hint of amusement; she looked up at her lover who was smiling at her, and not in a teasing way but actually in wonder.

her friends were all looking at her exceptionally, as if they were waiting for her to mention something.

"what?" she asked dumbly. "Juvia you make puppet shows! that's amazing!" Lucy started, and walked excitedly towards her friend.

"yeah, puppet shows are so fun, I remember watching one when I was so little, I died laughing" Cana added with the same range of enthusiasm.

"wait so.. you don't find this embarrassing?" She asked, her friends complained loudly.

"what's there to be embarrassed about? they are just puppets" Gajeel replied, his gaze

held a little bit of softness as he looked down at her.

"well, they are puppets talking to each other and ...making voices?" she tried to find a reason to make her hobby sound unusual to her friends, but they don't seem to find it that way except for fun and creative.

"Not to mention, they are very hard to make, and it costs a lot for the material" Erza added, her eyes held a sense of pride, it made Juvia feel comforted compared to before.

"I definitely want a puppet show every time I get back from a mission" Natsu claimed. The cookie plate was all empty and no crumbs were seen.

"so why not make us one tomorrow?" He suggested, he tried to grab another cookie and found nothing but air, he grunted in disappointment.

After their friends left their house, it was filled with a good quiet ambiance, the coffee odor was filling it instead, Gray was making two cups and setting a muffin plate (that he kept hidden from Natsu because he ate too much) for their table.

"that was ... completely unexpected! Juvia's puppet show is not ridiculous?" announced the blue-haired mage as she paced around the living room back and forth, to connect the events that happened.

Gray just hummed, she knows that she kept on bringing it up, and even if her lover advised her to sit down while he started making the brunch, she couldn't help the buzzing excitement and the overwhelming sensation.

" Juvia has to make the best puppet show tomorrow! because imagine if she disappoints them?" she turned around to her Gray as he came by with the muffin plate and the two cups of coffee.

"how about you sit down first and then we'll worry about it?"

She finally sat down with the bitter taste of coffee in her mouth, drinking it slowly as she looked at the Lacirama Television showing Juvia's magazine with "PERSEVERANCE" as the headline title.

the magazine opened straight to Juvia's page, showing the passage of her interview that she had with Jason.

"Perseverance was something Juvia held to so she can keep on going, and not only to win Gray-sama's heart but it is also to find true self and to grow into someone I w ant, it wasn't easy of course, but if you obtain this as a trait, Trust me you'll accomplish anything you set your mind to, Juvia promises you that"

comments of fans were displayed under the passage, they were all showing their support and gratitude to what she said. it was heartwarming.

she felt Gray's lips on her cheek, she felt her heart about to explode.

" I'm v er y proud of you" he said softly, looking at her with amazement and love, and all Juvia could do was scream inside a pillow.

her perseverance was worth it.
