#I find it troubling but I also feel like I could easily be missing information on why it might be happening

[lazycats-stuff]

Okay, so I want some angst, so could you do something with Bruce and batbro where reader is the newest member of the batfamily and also a vigilante. His backstory is really sad and never had a parental figure. So when he does something stupid on a mission with no regard of his own health, Bruce scolds and lectures him about it, so reader snaps and says something like “I don’t know why you care so much!” And Bruce reply’s back with something like “because I am your father.” But the reader isn’t having it, overwhelmed with his feelings, he yells something like “you are NOT my father and I’m sure as hell not your son!” And runs away After that. Honestly I’m not sure how to end this so maybe you could think of something 😅😭

Oh anon, it's going to end with fluff. You are going to get angst, but the end will be fluffy. I can't handle pure angst.

Summary: (Y/N) has no regards to his own health and Bruce reprimands him. (Y/N) lets his feelings be known.

Warnings: Angst and fluff essentially, minor cursing, (Y/N) is confused, mentions of injuries.

(Y/N) struggled badly with fitting in. Getting adopted by Bruce Wayne wasn't in his life plans. (Y/N) was fine on the streets. He educated himself in the library and he didn't need to go to school. Well, prison according to (Y/N)'s words. He didn't see a point in sitting in a classroom for hours on end.

And what was he going to learn there? He knows the basics of mathematics and he knows how to read and how to write. What more do you need in life? Equations?

Not in (Y/N)'s eyes.

It happened by pure accident. He was looking for his friend, hearing that he might have been in danger. Local gang was working through their neighborhood and he didn't like it.

He made sure to stay out of their way and he has advised his friends to do the same. However, people are not known to listen to directions and advices are they? The friend went missing and (Y/N) had to find him.

He didn't have many friends on the streets. It wasn't a bad thing, but you need to have some acquaintances. (Y/N) tried to be nice to everyone he came across, of course, he can't make everyone like him, but he tries.

He doesn't want any trouble. He just wants to get on his life easily.

During that fateful night, Batman and (Y/N) met one another for the first time. (Y/N) was shocked to find him here, but has guessed that he was just investigating. Bruce observed the boy for a moment before starting his interrogation.

He saw (Y/N)'s fear. His eyes widened, hands trembling at the sides. Not to mention the fact that (Y/N) was high on adrenaline. Bruce saw that he wasn't an enemy, just a scared kid. Bruce relaxed and asked (Y/N) some questions.

(Y/N) was stuttering as he answered Batman's questions. It was scary to see the Dark Knight in such proximity. (Y/N) knew that one wrong more will cause him to be maimed.

Of course, Batman wouldn't harm kids, but he is not really known to be patient for information so there was this inate fear that Batman might beat him up. (Y/N) doesn't have any type of medical insurance and...

But Batman was nice to him ever so gently asking him questions about the local gang that's moving in the neighborhood. He offered (Y/N) a position on an informant, but (Y/N) had to decline. Snitches get stiches and (Y/N) didn't want to die.

Bruce nodded at that statement. He understood. Nobody wants to be put in that type of situation. The stress, pressure... Bruce went home that night and he couldn't stop thinking about (Y/N). There was something about the kid that Bruce couldn't stop thinking about.

Maybe he sensed a lack of parental, more so a fatherly figure. Afterall, Bruce has a problem with adopting children and more so, taking strays in.

One night, he was taken to CPS and from there to an orphanage. He was shocked at how fast it has happened. From the cold streets to at least warm bed.

The kids there are not really something that he... Liked per say. Growing up on the streets, he didn't trust anyone, except one person, from whom he was now far away from. Unfortunately, he had no way of getting out, even after observing the pattern of how things to work around here.

Their patrols were good and chances of him escaping are slim. No, not slim, they are non existent. So he gave up after a while. He sat on his bed, reading a book from the library. Somehow (Y/N) ended up in a Wayne Orphanage and it had a library. Bruce Wayne is posh as hell.

(Y/N) looked from his book when he heard a knock on his door. It was Lisa who entered. She is a nice lady and (Y/N) liked her a lot. She understood him and she was never pushy with him.

" Hey (Y/N). There is a man here who wants to talk to you. " She said, all smiles. (Y/N) raised his brow in curiosity. He closed the book and put it aside, standing from the bed.

" What for? " (Y/N) asked as he followed Lisa through the halls. He wondered what it was. If it was GCPD, he won't talk. Again, he isn't a snitch.

" Oh don't worry, it's nothing really serious. Well- You know, you will see. " Lisa said, all smiles still.

" Oh no. " (Y/N) said quietly as they stopped at the director's office. She knocked before entering, letting (Y/N) go to the chair first then closed the door before sitting down herself.

(Y/N) turned his head and it was Bruce Wayne himself. What the hell?

" (Y/N), I have some good news for you. " The director started and (Y/N) felt nervous beyond belief now. And it had to involve Bruce Wayne somehow? Oh dear God.

" Bruce Wayne wants to adopt you. " The director said, clapping his hands. (Y/N)'s mouth dropped a little bit.

" What? " (Y/N) asked quietly, wondering what was happening. His mind couldn't even wrap itself around the concept of adoption.

" I know, it seems like a lot, but you are going to be adopted. " Director smiled and (Y/N) tried to say something, but couldn't.

" Now, you can go back to your room to pack up. " Director said and (Y/N) stood up, feeling like he could keel over at any point. Lisa went with him, seeing that he is very shocked. She saw that he didn't want to talk, but she was worried about him passing out on the way.

" Are you happy? " Lisa asked as they walked into (Y/N)'s room.

" I mean... " (Y/N) started talking as he took a sports bag. " I'm shocked. " (Y/N) whispered, packing his clothes. He took his personal stuff and put them in the bag.

" I know. But you have a chance to have a great life. " Lisa said, trying to help him out. (Y/N) sighed quietly as he packed up. He didn't have a lot either.

" I know. But still. " (Y/N) said, putting the bag on his shoulder. He looked back once more to see if he missed anything.

" Hey, if you ever need to talk, you can always talk to me. " Lisa said, giving him a quick hug before stepping aside to walk (Y/N) back to the office.

(Y/N) has never felt so nervous in his life. He only had his mother, but when she passed away, he ended up on the streets. Having a father figure now is something new to him. He didn't really don't know how to feel.

" Hey, don't worry. " Lisa said, putting a hand on his shoulder to bring him back from his head. (Y/N) nodded, but Lisa still knows that he never had a father figure. And fathers and mothers are very different parent types.

" He is aware of what you have been through. " Lisa tried to console him, but he didn't find any comfort in her words. He didn't like it at all.

It has been a year since he started living with Bruce Wayne and (Y/N) felt like he was out of place. The other kids are okay and they actually like him, but (Y/N) feels like he doesn't belong here. He is only used to mother like figures and connecting to Bruce in general is hard. To (Y/N) he looks like he is allergic to emotions.

Not to mention the fact that he is Batman and the others are Robins. He fainted when he found out and he was offered training to become a vigilante himself. (Y/N) thought about it for a long time.

It's a big commitment to become a vigilante. You need to keep your head calm and you yourself need to have the nerves to be patient. (Y/N) didn't think he could do it because there was so much anger inside of him.

It wasn't loud anger, no. It was quiet anger. It's a more dangerous type of anger and it's the one that eats you from the inside out. Not to mention, you need to be talkative, you need to talk through the comms and what not.

But (Y/N) didn't really enjoy it. He is an introverted person and he didn't really like to talk or go out somewhere and fight crime. But in the end, he thought about making a difference.

Will he make it though?

(Y/N) remembered every time he was out on the street. He stayed out of every ones way. Even though he had a great friend on the streets, he still never opened up to him fully. He has never bared his soul open for anyone to see.

He probably never will bare it to anyone. And one thing that made him think against being a vigilante was the fact that he can't really follow direction and orders.

But then again, maybe he is could make a difference. Batman can't eradicate crime, but he can give the city a boost and he has already given the criminals the fear. (Y/N) knew the fear very well. There was often a thought on his mind, whether or not Batman was watching.

But in the end, he decided to join. Bruce trained him and it felt weird to have some sort of guidance. And to have a support from a male figure is something... Nice and yet confusing beyond belief.

But he still couldn't quite wrap his mind around the fact that he had a father figure. And he felt some of the quiet anger disappear. It felt nice.

All of (Y/N)'s feelings boiled over when patrol went wrong. He disobeyed Bruce's direct orders. (Y/N) knew that he was in so much trouble, but the night has been so tiring and so exhausting. He got hurt, his body bruised and everything in him ached. He just wanted to take a cold shower and go to bed.

But that won't happen ever so easily.

(Y/N) walked off, not in the mood to listen to Bruce's lecture. It was just the two of them, since the others were busy with their own things. He didn't want to prolong this shit.

" (Y/N)! Stop right there! " Bruce yelled and Alfred turned his head. He knew that (Y/N) has put himself in danger by disobeying an order, but he couldn't stop his worry from showing on his face.

Oh no.

(Y/N) listened to Bruce, refusing to turn himself to face Bruce. He could feel anger rolling off of him in waves. He had to think of something that wouldn't result in him further angering Bruce.

" Turn around. " Bruce said, ever so calmly. (Y/N) knew that this is anything but calm. (Y/N) listened to the order, slowly turning.

Bruce's face was neutral, but (Y/N) saw anger in his eyes. Oh, he was in for a treat.

" You disobeyed a direct order! You could have died! " Bruce started and (Y/N) felt his fists clench. There was something building in his chest, something hot and heavy, settling near the heart.

" I had a plan! When I tell you to do something in the field, you listen to me! " Bruce kept on yelling and (Y/N) felt like he was going to keel over. He tried to unclench his fists, but he couldn't.

The anger had kept growing and growing.

" Why do you even care?! " (Y/N) yelled back, allowing the anger to take over. Bruce didn't even flinch at the yelling and he seemingly got louder.

" Because I'm your FATHER! " Bruce said, making sure to put importance on the word father. Something got triggered in (Y/N) and the thing that has settled near the heart exploded.

" YOU AREN'T MY FATHER AND I'M NOT YOUR SON! " (Y/N) yelled back with so much ferocity and so much anger that Bruce had to rear back a little bit.

The words stung a little bit and Bruce saw tears falling down (Y/N)'s face. (Y/N) took a deep breath before walking off up the surface and out of the cave. Bruce stood still and Alfred looked at one another.

" Well, I think he finally let it out. " Alfred said, trying to light up the mood, but it didn't work.

" Should I let him be for now? " Bruce wondered rubbing his face.

" Yes. He is at the moment angry and he needs to let it out. " Alfred said, rubbing the back of his neck.

While the two are having a discussion on what to do and how to approach (Y/N), the said boy ran to his room breaking down in the hall, just before entering. He fell down on his knees, sobbing quietly. He wiped his face before entering his dark room.

He quickly removed his suit before stepping into the shower. He showered with ice cold water to ease the pain of some bruises. He tried to calm down, but nothing worked. He changed into his pajamas and just crawled into bed.

He had no interest in staying awake anymore. But he couldn't go to sleep. Did he have to yell like that? Probably not. But those feelings are something that have been bubbling for a little over a year and if he kept them in for a while longer, it would eat him up completely.

But Bruce was very nice to him for the time (Y/N) has been here. (Y/N) closed his eyes as he tried to sleep, but he couldn't. His mom once said to never go to bed angry, but he was to stubborn too look for Bruce.

But it seems that fate would have it that Bruce seeks (Y/N) out first. Bruce entered the room quietly and (Y/N) was just still, pretending to be asleep. Bruce knows this trick very well, but he played along for (Y/N)'s sake.

Bruce sat on the edge of the bed, near his back. (Y/N) felt the bed dip and he remained still as possible.

" I know you think I don't care, but I do. You are my son no matter what and seeing you hurt on patrol made me feel scared. I shouldn't have yelled at you, but I was scared and angry at myself. " Bruce said and (Y/N) moved closer to Bruce, trying to find some comfort in his arms.

Bruce didn't say anything else as he embraced his son, who sobbed quietly in his embrace. Bruce knew that (Y/N) has never had a father figure in his life, but he didn't realize it was that bad.

Bruce would try to be better for (Y/N), but for now, the night is too fragile for something bigger. It was just enough for tonight.

How they would react to dating a ADHD reader

Edward Cullen:

• When he first met you, you were hard for him to read until he learned of you having ADHD

• Before the two of you started getting close, he would often find his gazing topaz eyes landing on you weather it may be in the school hallways or somewhere else

• It took a little courage for Edward to approach you to introduce himself properly, and when he does, he briefly apologizes for that as you have a few of the same classes together

• Edward is impressed to see that even though your mind works differently, knowing it can go a little faster than you can process sometimes, you have a strong determination of letting nothing stand in your way

• You enjoy learning new things everyday, one of the toughest challenges that come with having ADHD is how you can get distracted so easily

• Despite a racing mind, you do very well in school and your studies. When it came time for an important test, that’s where you get a little anxious because the whole class knows of your ADHD and found it amusing to mess with you during something like this

• You always managed to swing it and get a high grade, a higher one than most of, if not all the students that filled your classes

• You were one of the last few remaining to have yet complete a test. The boy sitting behind you swiped the stapler off the teacher’s desk and opened it like he was refilling it with a new package of staples

• You didn’t give it a second thought of it until you started getting hit with flying staples

• It was very upsetting to you, but lucky for you, this was also one of the few classes you shared with Edward and once he saw what was going on, he went to put a stop to it

• Right I’m the middle of that, the teacher had return from a short staff meeting and interfered before things got out of control

• The boy sitting behind you got in trouble and was sent to the principals office, he later comes out with a week’s worth of detention

• Because of that distraction, you didn’t get the chance to finish your test and it was the end of the school day. Thankfully, your teacher was kind enough to allow you to finish the test on the following day

• Edward took you home and because you were house sitting for your parents while they were out celebrating their anniversary with a big trip, you had the house to yourself and Edward spends the night

• He didn’t like leaving you alone

• For that time period, you put a movie on you wanted him to see. Though it was more than a movie, it was more like a documentary from Netflix based on a true story

• “What’s this called?” Edward asks, clearly missing the title of it

• “It’s that Last Breath documentary I keep telling you about.” You say excitedly

• “Can you tell me about it one more time?”

• “It’s about that commercial diver getting trapped on the bottom of the ocean without oxygen for over thirty minutes and survives.” You explain

• Edward doesn’t ask any more questions, instead, pulls you to his side as you both cuddle throughout the show. You were growing a little sleepy and kept dozing off, when you come to again, you briefly remember you fell back asleep at the part when the diver gets trapped and nearly left for dead

• You don’t remember falling asleep as you don’t wake up again until the following morning, still snuggled up to Edward’s side as he holds you close to him

• As strange as this may sound, Edward was the first to recognize this moment that you are his mate and he wouldn’t trade you for the world

• You don’t recognize it until he protects you from James

Benjamin:

• It took you a while, but after entering the second month of the new relationship with Benjamin, you inform him of having ADHD and he was quite surprised to say the least

• “Surprised” as in a good way, he could never think anything negative towards you, you are his mate after all and he wouldn’t trade you for the world

• There are times when you have moments of feeling insecure about what you have, but as soon as a bad thought crosses your mind, Benjamin always has something to say about it, he didn’t like you having those thoughts

• “Here’s what I want you to do, every time a bad thought of yourself comes to your head, tell it to go to back to hell where it came from.” With your mate saying exactly that, never failed to make you smile

• Benjamin becomes a little overly protective when it comes to certain things through ADHD such as knowing how you can get distracted so easily

• For example, you were best friends with Bella, and her birthday was coming so you wanted to do something special, you wanted to make her a homemade birthday cake and because you haven’t taken your medicine quite yet, you were a little over the edge

• Unfortunately for you, something had happened that made you forgetful about watching the time to check on the cake and of course you may have overreacted, but at the same time, you couldn’t help the way you feel

• What got you distracted was overhearing Rosalie and Bella in the living room nearby, Rosalie was getting rude towards Bella and you couldn’t take it

• You’ve tried to not think about it, trying to distract yourself with this homemade present but what Rosalie says next, set you off like a bomb

• “Happy birthday… human.” Rosalie says with slight venom in her voice

• You dropped the fork in hand and stomped to where the two were, coming out unglued to Rosalie, you may have sounded harsh, but there was a good reason for it

• “If you’re not going to drop whatever crap you have in mind, than I want you to leave my house!” You seethed

• Rosalie threw you a dirty look as Bella places her hand on your shoulder, right than Benjamin makes his appearance after hearing you yell at Rosalie and wanted to see what was going on

• “(Y/n)? Are you alright?” He asks

• “Just fine.”

•No one says anything until the smell of something burning from the kitchen fills the air as Benjamin asks what that was

• “Do you have something on in the kitchen?” He asks, than you remembered

• “Shit!” You growl, heading for the kitchen as everyone else follows behind

• You pull the cake out and set it down, seeing that it was as black as it could get, you got really upset and started blaming Rosalie for this to happen

• Your mind was racing, and it suddenly made you feel upset at everyone, not just Rosalie, you could fathom that this was really happening, out of all days why today?

• “What’s going on?” Benjamin asks fondly

• It took you a minute to compose yourself before giving an answer

• “I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I don’t have a choice at this point. I was trying to make a birthday cake for Bella.”

• Bella couldn’t help but feel flattered that her best friend would go through all this trouble to do something special and nice for her. While at the same time, it hurt her to see you so upset and instantly had an idea in mind

• “I know doing this meant something to you, and I truly appreciate your effort you put into this, but I hate seeing you so upset.” Bella goes on

• You bring your hands to cover your face in case of tears decide to well up

• “Listen, how about all of us go out to celebrate?”

• “You mean that?”

• “Of course, I mean when is the next time we’ll all be together like this?”

• You smile as Benjamin wraps his arm around you, pulling you close to his side, leaning to whisper in your ear

• “It would be better than staying behind to mope around about this incident, (Y/n). Don’t you think?”

• “That sounds like a good idea.”

• “It’ll be my treat.” Rosalie says

• Benjamin’s purpose in all of this was to keep you from looking back on the incident as few hours earlier and he was more than successful of accomplishing that goal

• Now he represents it, all of you had gone out as suggested to Cheesecake Factory for Bella’s cake

• Throughout the evening, Benjamin held your hand hardly letting it go

• Being with Benjamin made you forget all the worries

• As his mate, Benjamin knew how to make you fall in love with him all over again. With your ADHD, he never considered judging you for it, and if anyone messes with your ability to focus on purpose, they had better watch it

• Messing with you meant messing with him as slight trouble begins to brew

• Benjamin couldn’t wait to love you for all eternity, you know, once he changes you into a vampire like you wanted

• You couldn’t wait to love him for all eternity, you look forward to what the future has in store for you both

• Nothing but happiness

fic rec friday 3

welcome the the third (late sorry) fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

1. Immortal by @admiralcanthackett (sorry this is the last one for a while probably)

Lance gets impaled and Keith catches him in the bathroom later, blindedsided by the massive scar on his chest. Now Lance has to explain it and the many others he’s managed to collect along the way. But who would believe Lance is suddenly immortal?

This is up there with Blast Zone in terms of fics I’ve reread so many times I could probably recite it. I have made friends read this. I talk about this fic to people who aren’t in the fandom. This is a BAMF Lance fic, of course, but honestly it’s more Keith/Lance feels than anything. There’s no one who knows how capable Lance is like Keith does. 

2. Hell in High Heels by @azapofinspiration

To gain some information for the final assault on Zarkon, the Blade has asked Team Voltron to get it using some... feminine wiles. Seeing as Allura would be recognized in an instant and Pidge is uncomfortable, Lance easily steps up to the plate.

And Keith was not expecting this.

This fic is also up there with Blast Zone! Lance? Kicking ass in a skirt and stilettos? Yes ma’am! Side note but the first time this author reblogged one of my fics I freaked out lol I was so excited. I love this fic, it’s fun and flirty and the Garrison Trio dynamics are awesome. 

3. Birthday Surprises by @azapofinspiration

On a certain day, each of Team Voltron finds themselves the recipient of a package. It doesn't take them too much to figure out who's leaving them anonymous birthday presents.

Pretty much a 5+1 fic of the times members of Team Voltron are given a birthday present and the time they decided to return the favor.

Lance is such a sweetheart, I love him. This is a really sweet fic with Lance and the team just loving each other, basically. I’m always a sucker for a five plus one, and this one is a fun and quick read. 

4. Useless Talents by @admiralcanthackett

Lance has some "useless" talents that come in handy. Keith is impressed.

I’ll be real, a lot of these are going to be BAMF Lance. He’s just so cool. This one in particular, though, is pretty much just BAMF Lance with a side of whipped Keith, which is always fun. Contortionist Lance? Check. Archer Lance? Check. Observant Lance? Check. Literally everything you could want in a one-shot.

5. Only a Crack in this Castle of Glass by @icypantherwrites

Something strange is going on with Lance. The wincing and shivering and worried, scared glances in Allura’s direction mean something and Hunk is going to get to the bottom of it. But nothing could have prepared him for what he found. / “Allura was in trouble. And I… I shielded her. Me and Red. And… and we got hit. And…” Lance audibly swallowed again, voice even quieter and Hunk felt faint. “And I… I died.”

Or; the missing scene fic where Hunk (and the rest of Team Voltron) discover Lance died at Omega Shield and what this now means for them all.

There are not enough Omega Shield fics. Seriously. But this almost makes up for it! This fic, as is on par for icy panther, is a work of art. Expertly crafted, lengthy, and angsty as hell. Highly recommended if you’re mad about the later seasons. 

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

#these are making me all nostalgic fr #vld #voltron #lance #lance mcclain #klance #langst #bamf lance #omega shielf #smart lance #archer lance #team as family #longpost #fic rec #fic rec friday

Master Detectives: Milgram AU (part 2)

Here's part 1 in case you missed it!

Now let's get into some more milgram fortes >:]

Haruka | Forte: Shared Agony His ability is strange, especially for a Master Detective as it's not very traditional for solving crimes. When activated, he can either take on half of the pain of a different person, or he'll give someone half of the pain that he feels. Despite his strange forte, he's been able to solve crimes, though he doesn't exactly like using it. He's smart, but very rabbit hearted as a detective. He finds it hard to interrogate others, and often ends up being the one getting intimidated if he ever tries. He's also bad with speaking, often working alone if he can help it. But he's very observant in people's behaviors, almost to an obsessive degree. So he can find inconsistencies quickly.

Muu | Forte: Queen Bee With her ability, she can gain the sight and smell that bees possess. She can see ultraviolet light, which helps her find things such as blood that's been washed away. As for smell, she can detect smells that humans simply never could. For example, she could detect things such as drugs or even illness with her heightened olfactory senses. But staying in this state for too long causes severe migraines and sickness. Muu is smart, though when it comes to detective work she relies completely on her ability. But she is very handy in gaining the trust or pity of suspects, able to get information out of them quite easily. She isn't the easiest detective to work with, but she is incredibly useful.

Mahiru | Forte: Strings of Fate A very peculiar power, one that she is still learning to understand. With it, if she makes contact with a person or object, she'll be able to see a string connecting it to something tied to that person/object's fate. This can be anything from soulmates to a knife that is fated to kill someone. Sometimes if two things are connected, but she touches the thing the string led her to, it could start a new string instead of going back to the first one since some things have many different fates tied to them. She can't change the strings, nor can she see her own. As a detective, she isn't the brightest. In fact, she wanted to start business as a soulmate matchmaker, but accidentally solved a murder before it even happened. That got the WDO to get their eyes on her, and she joined after a bit of coercion. She actually considers being a detective as a side gig, her main job still being a soulmate matchmaker. Though she isn't good at handling murder cases, she is happy that with her ability she can help others.

Thats it for now! I still have to come up with forte's for the last three, and they're the ones I'm having the most trouble with ahah. If anyone has any ideas for Kazui, Mikoto, and Kotoko, please feel free to share! :]

#milgram #haruka sakurai #muu kusunoki #mahiru shiina #moth speaks #master detectives milgram au #who would be harder to work with #muu or haruka #es at haruka: how the hell will ur ability solve this case #and haruka being like i know im sorry #i had fun coming up with these #had to research bees #haruka's came to me in a dream #and mahiru was just on the spot #now back to writing for a different thing entirely

[CN] Kiro's 2023 Birthday Prequel

🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for content that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸

[Note: This prequel was translated with the help of Google Translate :>]

[Chapter 1: Returned Treasure]

After turning the key into the keyhole twice, the door was pushed open.

"Take a look at it first, Kiro. If you want to buy additional furniture and appliances, just let me know."

Accompanied by the man's words, Kiro walked through the entrance hall, a bit of deliberate curiosity in his blue eyes as he looked at the new residence that the company had arranged for him.

The living room was very spacious, enough to place a lot of music equipment.

The kitchen was L-shaped, and the aisles were neither wide nor narrow. There was a refrigerator, oven and other high-end appliances built into the wall cabinets. There was only one thing missing - a microwave.

For a "killer cook", it could almost be considered one of the greatest inventions in the world.

But he didn't want to trouble the unfamiliar man in front of him, so he nodded deceptively and walked towards the bedroom. But as soon as he stepped through the door, he frowned.

Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky, the room was extremely dark, and the white bed and wardrobe in his field of vision were covered with a layer of gloomy gray.

The instigator behind this was a drab building standing next door. The walls looked like cracked skin, mottled and old.

The man seemed to have noticed something and said softly, "It's disturbing being blocked by this building, isn't it? But it will be demolished soon."

"Disturbing?"

The subconscious rhetorical question made the man stunned, but he quickly reacted and showed two rows of big white teeth.

"Hey, is this a northern dialect? How should I explain it..."

"When something makes you feel uncomfortable and upset, we call it disturbing..." As if he found it hard to describe at once, the other party started to make gestures.

Kiro listened quietly while observing the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him. An hour ago, he had introduced himself in the pick-up hall --

Savin, a manager of B.S. Entertainment and the one responsible for his acting arrangements in Loveland City in the future.

He'd heard this information from Pen a long time ago, but he still wasn't sure whether the other party was a member of B.S. But it didn't matter. There would always be more than one pair of eyes lurking around him.

Therefore, he took Savin's words very naturally.

"Haha - so that's what it meant. It's okay, Savin, I'm not disturbed."

The casual form of address made Savin stunned for a moment, and his eyes softened. "You must know that we Northeasterners can easily take away people's accents. You should learn less, don't be afraid of using your usual Californian accent..."

Savin paused and handed the key in his hand to Kiro.

"Also... I know you've just returned to China, and you must be uncomfortable with everything."

"Food, accent, residence... including the people. But all of this is temporary. I believe you'll find your own rhythm here soon."

Under Savin's sincere gaze, Kiro also nodded solemnly.

"Okay, how about this for today? I'll leave first. You have a good rest. I'll see you at the company tomorrow."

Savin walked out as he spoke. The moment he closed the door, another sentence was hurriedly squeezed in, "If you need anything, please call me at any time!"

Bang - the door was shut.

Kiro finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to walk to the suitcase he brought back from California - one which was filled with souvenirs he'd collected over the years.

He touched the box and smiled, then walked around again before finally opening an inconspicuous low cabinet and putting it inside.

This was the "treasure" he hid, and the keyhole could only be accessed by one person.

"Hey, I'm back with the treasure box. I hope I can find you soon."

[Chapter 2: Tiny Light]

--8:30 a.m.

A sharp ringing sounded throughout the bedroom.

"Mm..."

Accompanied by a vague voice, a slender arm stretched out from under the quilt. It followed it's owner's will and groped around the bed, but as it fumbled, it grew impatient. It kept swatting at the bedside like a gopher until the world became quiet, and an unknown amount of time had passed.

The man who had been dreaming suddenly opened his eyes, looking around in panic and confusion. However, in his misty vision, there was only a tiny cluster of light huddled pitifully in the corner, secretly confusing time, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

Kiro had no choice but to pick up his phone and take a look -- 8:38 a.m.

"......"

He helplessly rubbed his messy blond hair, walked to the window with bare feet, and pulled the already open curtains wider to both sides. However, the light only spread a little symbolically, illuminating half of the floor.

--It seemed a little disturbing.

He frowned and inadvertently stepped into the sunlight.

The thin light could only illuminate half of his body, but the corners that were illuminated were dazzling enough. He subconsciously squinted his eyes and followed the trajectory, all the way out of the dilapidated building next door. After that, he saw the endless flow of vehicles and the small crows of people going back and forth.

At this moment, Kiro's heart seemed to open up.

There was nice whether today.

-

--9:30 a.m. B.S. Entertainment Conference Room

"Kiro, although you've just returned to China, you should rest for a while to adjust yourself."

"But there haven't been many domestic entertainment resources recently, and everyone has be rushing to grab them, so we should seize this opportunity."

Savin picked up a stack of papers and handed them to Kiro, "If you continue to focus on your music, your development will become more rigid, so the company has secured some film and television audition opportunities for you."

"We can't just be singers, we need to become famous superstars."

Upon hearing that, Kiro knew that this had been the decision taken up by B.S. After all, only by expanding his influence in all directions would it be easier to do things for them. But he wasn't put-off. He knew very well that only by constantly broadening his own path, would he be able to take the initiative into his own hands sooner.

"Alright, Savin. I just have one question." He flipped through the audition details in the file. "When will the auditions start and how much time do I have to prepare?"

Kiro's calmness made Savin laugh and adjust the watch on his wrist slightly.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon. There's an audition for a sports commercial."

"Okay, I'll get ready now."

[Chapter 3: Good at Joy and Happiness]

In just a month, Kiro's success rate in auditions was nearly 75%. But when Savin reviewed the results, he frowned, "Strange... why did the auditions for movies and TV series fail?"

A trace of frustration flashed in Kiro's eyes, "I'll continue working hard. Please give me some time."

After a moment, Savin spoke in a deep voice, "Don't worry, this isn't something you have to work hard on alone. I'll find you a professional acting teacher. It's okay. There's no need to rush for success. We still have time and opportunities."

With that said, he took out his cell phone and walked out, until a polite greeting came from the corridor.

-

The next day, Kiro was already in the garden of the lecturer's home--

"Hello, Mr. Chen. My name's Kiro."

He nodded slightly and looked at the man sitting on the wooden chair.

It was easy to tell from the drooping wrinkles on the other person's face that he was already a bit old, but his sharp eyes made him appear to be in high spirits.

"Mm, Savin told me everything."

"But before we start with the class, tell me, what do you think acting is?"

Kiro stayed silent for a while before considering his answer.

"Acting to me... is about interpreting different lives."

"That's half right, but it's more accurate to continue living these different lives." The teacher raised his eyebrows, "Although the characters in the scripts are fictitious, and the plot is also fictitious, most of them come from real life."

"In the corners you can't see, and to the people you can't see, ever-changing things happen every day. Actors are there to live these lives again."

Hearing this, Kiro seemed to vaguely understand what the teacher meant - "deduction" and "experience" seemed to be two different things.

But before he could continue to digest it, the teacher undid the folds on his pants and said, "That's all. Let's do some imagination and sensitivity training."

"Now, close your eyes and imagine that you're walking in a forest. The grass is soft and the sound of the stream is in your ears. But you also hear the rustling sounds coming from the grass in the distance. What do you think is there?"

"A rabbit..." Kiro closed his eyes, a faint smile on his lips.

"Then, what do you want to do?"

Kiro couldn't help but hold his breath, and stepped forward more slowly. He groped his way to the grass and squatted down, "Hey... would you like to come into my arms and play for a while?"

As he spoke, he opened his arms and waited quietly. It wasn't until his body suddenly froze that he carefully retracted his arms, as if he were really picking up a rabbit... Then, he tilted his head and raised his right hand gently.

Caressing down.

"Hello, I'm Kiro."

Unconsciously, the teacher's voice also became much softer, "After playing with you for a while, the rabbit suddenly ran into the bushes."

"....!"

A hint of panic appeared on Kiro's face. He placed his palms on the ground and leaned down to search.

"You've been looking for it for a long time, but you haven't found any trace of it..."

He was silent for a while, then curled his lips in relief, "It's okay, we'll definitely meet again next time."

"Very good, remember this feeling now." The teacher's voice could not hide his excitement, "You did not follow the public's logic to express your loss, but followed your true feelings. Those are the feelings you want, remember?"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp cry passed through the sky--

Kiro subconsciously closed his eyes and raised his head. At the same time, the teacher also spoke vigorously, "There's a Swift flying across the sky right now!"

"Swift..?"

"Yes, it's a bird that flies all its life."

"Because of their body structure, it's difficult for them to take off once they stop, so they only stop on branches to rest."

"Do you want to keep flying?"

The teacher smiled lightly, "Since we're curious about it, let's go and see its life."

"Now imagine that you are it. Your body is very light, and countless sceneries pass your feet. You just watch them from winter to spring, from dry to blooming, never stopping."

Kiro gently opened his arms. Under the guidance of the teacher, his arms gradually became sore, as if there were thousands of pounds of stones pressing on them.

"You'll also grow tired during this period. Looking at every corner of the city, there is no resting place for you to take off again."

Kiro suddenly felt uncomfortable. He found that he and the Swift were very similar.

They have always been on the road. Although there had been very beautiful places to sing and see along the way, when they said goodbye again, they would be greeted by an endless flight.

But--

"It doesn't matter, I can persist."

Kiro said in his heart.

"I'll keep flying until I find a place where I can rest peacefully and then stop."

[Chapter 4: First Show of Strength]

After repeated training, Kiro became more empathetic.

Even with the scorching sun above his head, he could be so cold that he would tremble all over, huddled in a corner waiting for the snow mountaineering team; or he could stand on flat ground, but there could be an abyss beneath his feet, making him feel dizzy, struggling hard on the edge of the cliff.

His heart was now able to deceive his eyes and brain with ease.

"Kiro, Kiro!"

Kiro, who had just finished training, saw Savin running towards him in a hurry, holding a suit of armor and carrying a red tassel gun.

"What is this, Savin?"

"The actor playing the young Sun Ce in "Three Kingdoms", temporarily broke the contract due to scheduling issues, so we're going to audition now."

"Three Kingdoms?"

"You must know that this is a production worth hundreds of millions. If you can get this role, it would be better than acting in ten other unknown works."

Savin shook the armor as he spoke, causing the fine dust covering it to sway. "Ahem! This is a costume taken from the company's warehouse. Let's make do with it for now."

"If your mixed-race looks go directly for the auditions, you'll definitely suffer a big loss, so let's take care of your hair first before going over." He took out a black wig from the helmet and quickly combed it with his fingers, "We can't miss out on the wig and contact lenses..."

Savin's rare rushed appearance made Kiro confused, so when he saw that the wig was about to cover him, he subconsciously tilted his head to avoid it.

"Savin, what is the Three Kingdoms? Why do I have to wear these? Do I need to act in a costume film?

"You kid..! Have you heard of the Four Great Classics? Do you know the romance of the Three Kingdoms? That's the story in it."

"I've heard of it, but I haven't even read the scripts, so can I just go directly to the auditions?" Before he finished speaking, the hairband was placed on Kiro's head with lightning speed.

"You can't control that much. Just try it."

After getting his hair done, Savin picked up the armor and put it on for him, one by one. At that moment, the teacher who had been sitting on the wooden chair also slowly said, "I remember you said that your dream when you were a child was to be a superhero. Now I tell you, Sun Ce is also a hero. So it doesn't matter if you don't know his life, just remember that he is a a hero who is not afraid of anything."

These words began to play in Kiro's mind over and over again, until he arrived at the shooting scene with Savin. The director improvised an audition topic--

"You are now fighting a battle with less to win more, but because you have no escape, you are fearless."

Along with his words, flags were flying on the distant city wall, and wolf smoke was also billowing. Kiro looked at all of it this, and his heart remained very calm. Although he didn't know what the Three Kingdoms was about, he knew what a hero was.

The next second, he walked to a white horse, holding a red tassed gun in his hand, and jumped on it.

The workers around him were hurriedly moving their filming equipment, but in Kiro's ears, he could hear the sound of horns roaring, and the sound of thousands of horse hooves trampling behind him.

At that moment, Kiro was convinced that he was on the battlefield.

Amidst a horse's cry that pierced the sky, he loosened his reins and galloped forward, riding into the wolf smoke that was about to engulf the world. There were only a bunch of red tassels, as bright as a torch. Even the beacon of fire in the sky couldn't annihilate it, as if it were soaring into the sky.

--"All officers and men, listen to my order and join me on the battlefield."

[Chapter 5: Forgotten Birthday]

He got the role of Sun Ce. In addition to receiving congratulations from all around, he also heard some nasty remarks--

"A mixed-race guy with blond hair and blue eyes wants to play a famous historical figure. Isn't there something fishy about this?"

It would be a lie to say he didn't care, but Kiro also knew the distance between himself and Sun Ce. He began to frequent the library and borrowed one history book after another, but found that the words were concise and difficult to understand. He ran to ask Savin and found that they were classical Chinese texts, written articles in ancient Chinese.

He had no choice but to borrow another classical Chinese dictionary and compare it word by word. After a long time, in his dreams, he would be wearing a robe and looking at a bottle of Coke that was as tall as a human being, shaking its head and saying something.

"Ran, ran."

But due to the language barrier, coke was sprayed all over him, which made him wake up.

There were many such interesting things, which made him enjoy the learning. But the more he got to know Sun Ce, the more Kiro discovered that in his eyes, this man could not completely be called a hero. He was just forced to be involved in the mud of history, especially since the death of his father. How many decisions had he made, and how many goals did he really want to achieve?

With that mentality, the filming of the scene about the young Sun Ce began--

"Kiro, isn't the helmet a little tight? But it's too late to customize it. Please bear with me."

"It's okay, director. This is nothing to me."

"Kiro, there are some risks in this fight scene. If you can't adapt, we can find a substitute."

"...I think if I do it myself, the effect will be better."

In addition to constant contact with the filming scene, the director would also patiently point how people in ancient times spoke, behaved, and pronounced.

It's just that there were so many things to learn. So whenever the filming ended, he would sit in a corner alone and watch and learn.

Days like this went on and on. Then one day, a small change occurred--

"Happy Birthday, Kiro! I got this on the internet."

At that moment, the director who had been looking at the storyboard also heard the sound and put down what he was holding, "Kiro, happy birthday."

"....."

"Why are you just blinking and not talking? Is it because you were so lost during filming that you don't even remember your birthday?" The director teased, then raised his hand to look at the time and called for the makeup artist to come over.

"Time is tight. Take him to put on his makeup first."

Kiro didn't say anything more and left with the makeup artist.

But on the way, he took out his mobile phone as if to confirm--

April 9th. He was so busy that he had forgotten about it.

[Chapter 6: Stopped Swift]

"Okay, cut! This fight scene was great!"

"Would you like to do it again? There were a few movements I could've done better..."

The director smiled and waved his hand, "No, I liked the energy you had just now. Not ruthless, just high-spirited. And isn't it your birthday today? Go back quickly."

"It's okay, director. I want to stay for a while to observe and learn."

Kiro shook his head quickly. There was a highlight today and he didn't want to miss the confrontation between "Zhuge Liang" and "Sima Yi".

"It's okay. Don't think about it, your friends and family are all waiting to surprise you." The director deliberately frowned, half-pushed Kiro, and asked him to leave the set.

After taking off his armor, Kiro walked lightly on the crowded streets. At that moment, he suddenly felt as though he were back in California. At that time, he had no place he wanted to go and walked one road after another. What had changed today? He obviously wanted to stay on set to study today, but why did he still have to "wander" outside?

Was celebrating a birthday really necessary?

Why couldn't he just spend the day sitting in a corner of the set and watching?

Do we have to buy a cake and sing happy birthday to make this day not go by in vain?

A series of self-questions made him stop and sit on a bench, feeling discouraged.

Let's get over this day quickly... When it's over, you can stay at the filming site with confidence.

While he was convincing himself, a girl carrying a schoolbag and her mother walked past, hand in hand. The mother was wearing a floral skirt, carrying a shopping bag in her right hand. The scallions sticking out of her bag swayed with her footsteps.

What was more beautiful than the sunset were the ordinary human fireworks.

Then, he laughed and rubbed his head.

Kiro, what are you being pretentious about? You have two choices now: First, go buy a cake for your birthday; second, go back and do some weight-training, and then fall asleep from exhaustion.

Just as he was making a decision in his mind, a white nanny car stopped in front of him.

"What are you doing here, kid? Get in the car."

He looked at Savin who rolled down the window in surprise. His mind went blank for a moment, so much so that he didn't even remember how he got in the car. When he regained consciousness, he already had a gift box in his arms.

"Happy birthday," Savin said with a smile. "I originally wanted to give it to you in the morning, but the company's kept me busy with work. I finally finished it and was about to send you home..."

"The director told me you had left, but why were you still sitting here?"

"...I was sitting here to observe life."

Kiro tried explaining things, but what he got in return was Savin's blank stare.

"That's not important. I'm here to tell you some good news. It might be your best gift today."

With that said, Savin took out a document from the side and handed it to Kiro, "The director recognizes you very much and has recommended you to senior directors everywhere. This is an audition invitation sent by them. Basically, you're the protagonist."

"From my professional point of view, starting from the young Sun Ce this time," Savin became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. Because he was speaking too fast, his face turned red.

"It won't be too long before you become a superstar, because you were born to be one!"

Faced with such powerful acknowledgment, Kiro didn't know what to say for a while.

Music and performing have always been his dreams, but he didn't know how many people would like his abilities.

Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? One million?

He didn't know.

He just opened the folder in silence, looking at the audition requirements, thinking quickly about how to feel so that he could express those characters more realistically.

But what was certain now was that in the face of those demands, he was no longer as overwhelmed as he was two months ago.

Maybe he had gradually adapted to this city. Just like France and California... he would find his own place in this huge city.

Suddenly, a swift black shadow passed through his peripheral vision, and Kiro subconsciously raised his head and looked out the window.

A bird was sitting on a high branch.

--It was a Swift.

Kiro's Habitat Date: HERE

#mlqc #mlqc cn #mlqc spoilers #mlqc kiro #ASDFGHJKL I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LATE BUT ITS FINALLY HERE #ALSO... Birthday Date hits so differently after reading this 🥺

[ineffable-endearments]

This is the most specific season 3 "prediction" I have so far. I'm not very committed to it and there are SO MANY loose ends I'm aware it doesn't tie up, but pieces of it feel right enough to put here for curiosity's sake.

Background: This is not something I know much about, but I'm pretty sure the Book of Life is what determines who is Saved when the Second Coming happens. In other words, it doesn't work immediately, as Michael threatened, but people who are not in there will eventually be erased. Michael doesn't have the "authority" to erase anyone because they don't have the ability to start the Second Coming.

Imagine: Aziraphale spends years thinking he can rules lawyer the Second Coming by adding literally everyone to the Book of Life. He works his ass off, simultaneously following all of Heaven's rules and editing the Book during every moment he would have to actually think about anything.

Except when coming up with Great Plan-related stuff, Aziraphale does not think. Does he miss Earth and its people, its hot chocolate and concerts and wine? Well, he would, if he thought about it, which is why he doesn't think about it. Instead, he adds names. Even the names of people who've been in Hell for millennia. Forgiveness is one of his favorite things, and as long as he moves the Great Plan along, nobody cares if he hands forgiveness out like candy.

Over a hundred billion names he has to add. It wouldn't be possible for a human, but this is the scale angels work with. Still, it keeps him busy.

Yes, it will mean sacrificing Earth as a physical thing, the natural wonders and the material pleasures. But everyone will be together for eternity. It's an opportunity to ensure no one has to lose anybody ever again, to take away all the pain of mortality. Loss, programmed into the fabric of the universe?! If Aziraphale thinks about it - which he doesn't - it seems like a stupid idea. Surely the Almighty, being, well, Almighty, could have come up with a painless existence, right?

BUT.

The Book of Life will only recognize Heaven-given names. It's all in angelic language, whatever that language is that we see in S2E6 when Crowley is in Heaven. The Book of Life is, after all, a tool of the system that created it.

And guess who's erased his own former angelic name from...well, from everywhere, including his own head, leading to patchy memories? The one person Aziraphale wants to Save the most.

Aziraphale comes to Earth with Jesus on some kind of pretense, but the real motivation is to come find Crowley again and try to figure out how he might be able to figure out his angelic name.

Crowley flatly refuses to even try. You'll have to let them destroy me, he says, if you go through with this bullshit. Creation has value besides as a temporary testing ground before the Afterlife. It's not just here to twinkle. Maybe Crowley even says this as an Archduke of Hell. Maybe he took that position specifically to fight the Second Coming.

That's how Aziraphale realizes consciously what he actually loves about Crowley: his love of choice, his fierce individuality, the very way he has connected Aziraphale to life on Earth. Perhaps there are adventures on Earth that help him extend this realization well beyond Crowley, too, to the rest of the world, to the material things he assumed could be sacrificed for the sake of the people. But he's troubled. He knows the Heavenly machine is way bigger than him. Accepting that the Book of Life plan is wrong would also mean giving up any hope of controlling the damage that Heaven intends to do.

At some point, the Metatron, having realized his Supreme Archangel went predictably off the rails and withheld information until this very moment, tries to tempt Aziraphale by revealing that he alone remembers Crowley's angelic name, and if Aziraphale proceeds with the Second Coming, he can easily save Crowley.

But Aziraphale is now armed with the understanding that Crowley isn't truly himself when he's in Heaven's Book. His most Unpredictable Decision so far is to refuse the Metatron's offer. And the Second Coming starts, and Aziraphale and Crowley once again have no plan but show up anyway because they care too much to lie down and die without a fight, and humanity saves them once again.

Yes, obviously in all this, Aziraphale becomes disillusioned with Heaven. But it's more about figuring out that he doesn't want a universal Goodness Police than about any one particular incident.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

{𝐆𝐢𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕}:

It would take quite the effort to covertly move around without alerting anyone, or else people would become wary, I only want to put in effort when the time is right **

(since it's a request from little bunny I have no choice, right?)

The chapel located deep within the castle, is rarely used except for special events, it is a perfect place for bad guys to gather, and a place where you can be alone.

As I sat in the front of the chapel, the door opened discreetly.

Gilbert: "Fufu, you really came."

The sound of the rabbit's shoes echoes in the sacred space, I could feel the tension in the air with each step she took.

(You are scared, but you still want to be alone with me)

it seems that the little rabbit is aware that this is a dangerous, I feel relieved. Eventually, the little rabbit got to the front and sat next to me, leaving enough distance for one person between us

Gilbert: "What is in the basket?"

Emma: "I thought that if we were going to talk, we might as well drink, and also to thank you for yesterday.”

(I was the one who started this whole thing in the first place.)

(You’re not so stupid that you don’t understand that, right little rabbit?)

The little rabbit takes the bottle of rose wine, and two glasses from the basket, pouring the wine into them. If this were Obsidian it would almost certainly have been poisoned. 

I do not intend to be so tactless as to dampen the genuine goodwill though.

Gilbert: "You think drinking alcohol might make me talk more?"

Emma: “……..”

Gilbert: "you really want to listen to my problems?"

Emma: "It would be a lie to say I am not interested...Oh of course I am not going to tell anyone.”

Gilbert: "It’s only natural right? if you go tell people I don’t know what I might do to you.”

(But I am in trouble)

It is not that I don’t have any problems, It is that if they are known by someone, they would have to be killed.

(It’s not very artistic to start with the main problem out of the blue, but it is also difficult to find a safe problem)

thinking while sipping on the rose wine

(Oh, that's right... there is one problem I have that I don’t have to kill you over)

Gilbert: "Miss. Rabbit ... Will you listen to any problem?"

Emma: "...yes"

Gilbert: "Then, how can I get you to like me?"

Emma: “......”

Gilbert: "Fufu, what’s with that face? You’re the one who said you’d listen to my problems aren’t you? I'm still seriously worried about this"

Emma: "Then....why do you want me to like you?"

Gilbert: "I mean who doesn’t want to be liked?"

Perhaps it was so simple because it was persuasive and the rabbit fell silent, considering the silence it is a sign of serious consideration.

Emma: "I can’t like someone that I don’t know well"

Gilbert: "Im still disclosing information to you though"

Emma: “The important parts are always left in mystery, I can only see part of it and I cant grasp the actual situation...so i have no choice but to dislike you”

(Sharp)

The Rabbit has a good understanding of how an Obsidian Prince should be

Gilbert: “That can’t be helped, I don’t want to have to kill you”

(If the actual problems are known...)

Emma: “I think that’s the way it is though” **

Gilbert: "hmm, it must be hard to be liked " **

(Although i’m not easily liked)

(... It seems like the rabbits guard has dropped and we are done with the chit chat.)

Gilbert: "Miss.Rabbit. let me pour you a drink"

Emma: "No, that’s"

Gilbert: "Don't you learn?"

Emma: "..I have"

The rabbit understood that there was only two choices, "willingly get it poured" or "forced to pour". Fearfully, she holds out her cup

I picked up a bottle of rose liquor and poured it slowly

(come to think of it, this is the first time I have ever poured someone a drink)

The little rabbit thanked me silently, and sips the wine from her glass, watching the wine go down her throat, I start to speak

Gilbert: "Actually ...I do have another problem"

Emma: "What is it?"

Gilbert: "The whole thing is bothering me right now."

Emma: “......?”

Gilbert: "you do not understand?"

Gilbert: "You drank the drink that was poured to you by the big bad villain, are you feeling okay?"

Emma: "No way...!"

Blood is drawn from the rabbit's face, though she is naïve like a child, she seems to have grasped the situation

Gilbert: "Your carelessness is whats been bugging me lately, you shouldn’t be alone with someone you know is dangerous..as your friend i am worried about you"

Emma: "that doesn’t mean I should get poisoned"

Gilbert: "If it was poison, you would be dead, right?"

Emma: “…..”

Gilbert: "hmmm, well I didn’t" **

There was a chance to poison the wine, but I didn’t, even though I didn't, she should have understood what I wanted to say.

Emma: "... I don't think it's a good idea to say that" 

Gilbert: "Ah, were you worried?" **

Emma: ".......it’s bad" **

Gilbert: "I won't hurt you, I want you to like me."

Standing up and sitting back down next to the rabbit

I shortened the distance so that our shoulders touched each other, her delicate body became blatantly tense

(Within this distance it’s easy to kill the rabbit, this entire time the rabbit has died twice already)

Gilbert: "I'm worried that you will get hurt, even if i’m the root of all evil i don’t want anyone else to hurt you"

Gilbert: “Your world has already changed so much, if you don’t try and fight it, you will die” **

Emma: "... Mr.Gilbert wanted to say that." **

Gilbert: "Fufu, did you like me a little better now?"

Emma: "...No"

Gilbert: "That's tough"

(I am concerned about the rabbit's safety)

Emma: "This is another mirage Gilberts words aren’t a lie but they aren’t the full truth, I have a feeling that there are other reasons that you are concerned about my safety besides just being worried.”

Gilbert: “mm…”

(As expected, "belle" is different)

It seems that she has the talent to see inside peoples hearts

Emma: “If you were really concerned for me, you would have told me. It doesn’t add up because Mr.Gilbert and sweeter and more gentle than anyone else..” **

Gilbert: "Fufu ... you are digging too deep." **

the eye for the truth of ones heart should be focused only on the princes of rhodolite, instead it is being turned onto the princes of other countries

she didn't seem to know how dangerous it was

Gilbert: "But it is true that i like you, i like you so much that I worry for your safety. It makes sense, right?”

Emma: "no....there is a difference in my version on “like” and your version of “like””

(....I meant it as a warning to not dig any further, I don’t think I got through) **

Emma: "Gilbert’s version of like is similar to my version of dislike”

Gilbert: "...Why do you think so?"

Emma: "I have an idea, when I put words to all of Gilberts actions up until now, it would make more sense for you to say you “dislike” something instead of “like”.”

Emma: “you want to expose me to the cold world, to isolate me in court, and show me all kinds of ill intent”

Emma: "...No matter how much you might protect me"

Gilbert: "Aha! You can see through that too?”

(i’m Really, worried about you)

(Maybe you don’t mean to offend, but to expose someones inner self)

(it’s very very scary) **

I reach out my hand to the little rabbit who has entered my forbidden territory, while unprotected. Without any warning, i force her into laying on the couch and the cup falls to the floor noisily

Emma: “what the...."

(This is the third time)

I place my hand on her neck and squeeze lightly. The rabbit died three times today

Gilbert: "I like little bunny, I like you very much so don’t dig too much into me”

Gilbert: "As I have said I have a lot of secrets that would kill you if you ever found them out. I wont like it if you get in too deep, you understand don’t you?”

Emma: “.....”

Even after threatening her, she looks at me with eyes that doesn’t think I will kill her

Emma: "...I’m not strong enough to listen to Gilberts problems, someday I sincerely hope that Gilbert will meet someone he could not kill even if he wanted to”

(...I wonder why she says it like it’s someone else’s problem)

The rabbits and my definitions are different, but i still “like” her

Gilbert: "don’t be so sad, I still have high expectations of you, you know.”

Emma: "Expectations?"

I released my hand away from her neck and pull her up, I clasped her small hand in my cold one, slowly feeling the warmth of her hand

(I have many reasons for wanting to be friends with you, but this is one of them)

Today after talking alone with you I realized once again I “like” you, even if it is an emotion you might call “dislike”

(I want to experience it at least once in my life, to love someone like a human being.)

[miraiq]

a certain dragon delivers intense stares though curious of what was troubling the trailblazer. perhaps the vacation in penacony wasn't precisely what he expected, judging by the look of his face. "did something happen? you look troubled." (dan heng @ caelus)

Caelus was ecstatic upon Dan Heng messaging him saying that the raven haired lad was making his way to meet the Express crew down on Penacony. He had missed Dan Heng, but was also worried. Caelus wasn't sure why he was worried, this was the Dan Heng we're talking about. The man is the body guard of the Astral Express. The dude's a powerhouse! But, who could blame the silver haired man for the unnecessary concern. Everything was going wrong the second they warp jumped. First Caelus had that weird dream on the train that he couldn't even remember- though could recognize that it wasn't a good one based on the fact that he had been startled awake, covered in his own tears. Pom-Pom had simply said it was the lad not handling the memoria in the planet's atmosphere well, but something told Caelus that was only part of the problem.

Then they had troubles with their reservations, which made no sense to him since they (well technically not him but semantics) were invited, and had the same amount of bodies as their r.s.v.p..? Whatever. A guy from the IPC helped settle that, then proceeded to single him out and spew out cryptic nonsense-- aside from the fact that the blond had somehow had known Caelus housed a stellaron. Which that was also concerning-- how? What would that man do because of, or with, that information?

Next, the trailblazer had run into someone looking like Sampo, who then attacked(?) him. Well.. going unconscious and waking up without the accused party kinda makes it seem that way. So another betrayal at someone the man knew and (mostly) trusted.

And to top it all off, as if the universe really wanted to play some nasty tricks on him yet again.. Caelus made a friend. Another kind soul, struggling to make it by but finding the joy in the little things. It was worse than when... when Tingyun.. when she.. Caelus had to once again see a friend die right in front of him.

He got to know Firefly a bit more than he had with the Foxian, which made it all the more devastating when the man watched the girl get impaled by that dream creature. He vaguely remembers Black Swan or Acheron telling him the monster's name or title.. but he doesn't remember anything outside of the sheer size of it, the screeching sounds it made, the smoke stifling the surrounding air.. Caelus watched her body shake with fear before she apologized to him (why? why would you do that?) before she fell down into his arms just long enough that he felt her body turn into that odd liquid and vanish.

And the photo.. oh, the photo. Just an extra punch to the gut.

Wasn't he just "born" several months ago? He can't take much more of this.

So, it isn't really a surprise that the archivist could tell something was wrong. Though, Caelus knows that he doesn't hide his own emotions very well. Probably didn't help that shaking hands had reached out to lightly grasp Dan Heng's arm the second the silver was close enough to touch his party member, just firm enough to settle himself, but relaxed enough that if the raven had wanted to remove his arm from Caelus' touch he could easily do so. Caelus just couldn't stop himself. He desperately needed to feel a physical body, one that was warm, solid.. not ice cold mist that could slip through his fingers again.

" Can't get anything passed you, can I ? "

His voice is so soft, so raspy, the silver hopes that Dan Heng could at least hear his attempt at words to set the other at ease. After a chuckle to himself, a tiny alarm went off in his mind. Something about how Dan Heng showed up after texting each other related itself to Black Swan and their conversation.. and the chat with the real Black Swan right after. Could this be 'Dan Heng', the same one that meet him earlier as 'Sampo', tried to trick him into giving out dangerous-in-the-wrong-hands-knowledge 'Black Swan'?

He learned his lesson the first time. He's not going to make that mistake again.

" H..Hey. I know this is a bit.. strange. But-

Can you tell me your secret phrase you have with March?

You know, the one you used to help us out on Belobog to get away from the Silvermane Guards the second day we got there? "

#( v; penacony. ) #( caelus ic. ) #( pcrdiseseekers; dan heng. ) #pcrdiseseekers #caelus vc: no hurt me im baby #sorry dh cae is very touchy and also about to break #LAUGHS THIS GOT LONG UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #prayhands i love angsty boyos #caelus brain rot is reaaaallllllllll #STABS MY HANDS SO I DONT WRITE MORE WEPS #IM SO SORRY EVEN STABBIN DIDNT PREVENT THE LENGTH WORSENING #OTL #please dont feel inclined to match length i beg #if you see any spelling mistakes or grammar errors uhhhhhhhhh no you dont

Hamefura x Genshin Impact AU

Just a few basic notes for an AU and role swap for the characters. I will expand on them if I can ^^ 

Genshin Impact AU

Geordo (Traveler) the Traveler and Honorary Knight

Elements: Anemo, Geo, Electro, and Dendro 

Weapon: Sword with Pyro infusion 

Summary: separated from his twin brother ages ago, he travels Teyvat in search of him alongside a trusty companion he saved from drowning. He is very cautious and suspicious of people, but tends to gradually warm up after a bit of coaxing. He usually likes to reminisce on how Alan would easily trust people (and sometimes wish he could feel that carefreeness again). 

Katarina (Paimon) Trusty Travel Companion 

Element: weak Geo control

Weapon: Sword 

Summary: She was saved from drowning in a river by Geordo who happened to spot her when he went to fish for food. She was more knowledgeable about the world of Teyvat and agreed to help him learn about it, find his missing brother, and pay him back for saving her life. Her Geo powers are something to be desired since she has them, but doesn't have a Vision, and is rather ill-adept in it. A few small mounds is what she can create.  

Maria (Amber) Outrider for the Knights of Favonius 

Element: Pyro 

Weapon: Polearm 

Summary: The main scout and outrider for the Knights of Favonius. She has a special healing ability that none others have achieved with their elemental powers. She finds Geordo and Katarina and helps show them around Mondstat and get them well informed of the area. She also helped create Missing Person posters of Alan to hang around the city in case someone sees him. She is a very kind person and uses a Polearm to keep enemies at a distance. 

Anne (Jean) Acting Grand Master 

Element: Anemo

Weapon: Polearm 

Summary: Acting Grand Master for the Knights of Favonius, she takes her duty very seriously and while has issues dealing with the Fatui diplomats, she gets through it with a straight face often. Even though she does end up overly stressed at points. She helps Geordo often in regards to troubles around the city and has become a teacher to a powerful Geo user currently in the orphanage. 

Mary (Lisa) Librarian 

Element: Dendro 

Weapon: Catalyst 

Summary: The head librarian for Mondstat and is both a well versed person in Teyvat (and primarily Mondstat) history, and extremely effective librarian. She is also rather intimidating and very skilled in using her powers to make a lovely flower bush or invade some unsavory person's rooms with vines. She and Geordo had a rough start early on, but began to warm up since they have similar methods in gaining information. 

Nicol (Albedo) The Silent Alchemist

Element: Anemo 

Weapon: Bow 

Summary: A skilled Alchemist working with the Knights of Favonius. He keeps to himself most of the time as he works on his inventions and experiments in the main labs. Known for his mysterious aura and handsome face, he's become quite popular among the ladies of Mondstat, even though he doesn't seem to pay much attention to that. He's more focused on his work as well as looking over his little sister who is also under the Knights' care. Got along very well with Geordo and was one of the first people he ended up meeting once they arrive in Mondstat. Some are believed they are closer to each other now than anyone else in the Knights. 

Sophia (Klee) Fantastical Wind Bringer

Element: Anemo 

Weapon: Catalyst 

Summary: an avid student of Mary and Nicol's younger sister, Sophia was hidden away due to her odd appearance. However, she had engulfed herself in the world of story books. Training and working with Mary in the library. She's become a very competent Vision user and uses her abilities mainly for small jobs and aids to the other knights. However, her fantastical imagination leads to her powers creating moments and items for just long enough to be of use in a specific moment. Such things can appear due to her instinct and not of her active will in some occasions. She's very shy but doesn't mind helping everyone out. As long as she can read her books. 

Keith (Bennett) Geo Surge 

Element: Geo 

Weapon: Claymore 

Summary: An orphan who was raised primarily by the Adventurer's guild. He has powerful Geo magic that has been both a blessing and a curse in some situations since he wasn't well versed in handling his own powers. However, Anne took it up on herself to help Keith control his Geo elements and Keith is unsure whether to become an adventurer or part of the Knights of Favonius. He and Geordo also got into a rough start due to Geordo's unusual powers. However, something of a playful rivalry developed between them, according to Katarina anyway. 

Suzanna (Diluc) The Darknight Hero 

Element: Anemo 

Weapon: Sword 

Summary: Current owner and head of the Dawn Winery and Angel's Share in Mondstat, Suzanna is considered one of the most charismatic ladies in the whole city. Not much is known about her past and while she has respect for the Knights, it seems to mainly extend to certain individuals rather than the whole. After the incident involving a lyre and mysterious bard, she encounters Geordo who is not quite what she expected. She doesn't mind helping him out though. Especially since she has a key internal connection. 

Sora (Kaeya) Calvary Captain 

Element: Pyro 

Weapon: Sword 

Summary: Not much of Sora's past is known, but what is known is that he's an orphaned boy who was adopted by Suzanna's family a long time ago. The two grew up like siblings and Sora joined the Knights after a certain incident. He was incredibly curious about Geordo's arrival in Mondstat and believes it may be linked to something bigger overall… He can't help but tease him though considering Geordo is rather cold and wants to break the ice. 

Raphael (Sucrose) Professional Assistant 

Element: Anemo 

Weapon: Sword 

Summary: One of Nicol's closest friends, he became his assistant in the Knights of Favonius so they could continue working together on their experiments. Raphael always knew there was something strange about Nicol, but he can't place a finger on it and chooses not it pry. He's happy to help out Nicol as well as other tasks that need to be done, some can't help but think that he needs a day off… 

Geoffrey (Childe) Eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers 

Elements: Pyro (Hydro secondary) 

Weapon: Sword 

Summary: Geoffrey is one of the eleven Fatu Harbingers, and while he isn’t supposedly as powerful as the other members, he makes up for it in his trickery. He seems to dear two personas, one as the harbinger, and one as simply a protective brother to his younger siblings and family in Snezhnaya. His first encounter with Geordo is saving him from the disgruntled Liyue guards during the event involving Rex Lapis. He knows Geordo doesn't trust him, but believes he would be a valuable asset to know for further Intel collection. Plus he can't help but feel a sense of brotherly responsibility to the traveler. Isn't that quite odd? 

Alan (Traveler's Missing Twin) The Abyss Prince

Elements: Cryo and Hydro 

Weapon: Sword 

Summary: Geordo's twin who had been separated 500 years ago. He arrived in Teyvat a long time ago and lived in Khaenri'ah. He went searching for Geordo but found no answer during his journey through the world and remained to try and protect the kingdom. However, tragedy struck as Celestia destroyed the kingdom during its final dynasty. The people of the kingdom were cursed to become creatures of the Abyss and he remained by their sides to form the Abyss Order. An order with a goal to destroy Celestia and "destiny" as a whole. He heard about Geordo's arrival in Mondstat 500 years later but decides he cannot face him like this. The Abyss Order and the people of Teyvat are enemies at this point. 

As far as he knows, they're now on opposite sides. Even if Geordo doesn't approve of this path, it's the only way he can be certain Celestia cannot destroy anything else. Even if he has to fight him, he will…

That is the only path left for him. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tadaaa... just some brief notes on who would be who in this AU, it’s been bouncing in my head for a bit of time and I can’t help but find a lot of fun with it. 

A few notes, while Geordo would likely be the better option as the Abyss Prince, I honestly like this kind of role swap especially since (Geordo = Lumine) & (Alan = Aether) is a fun parallel. They both are ideal to be the Abyss Prince, but for Alan to go through such a personality change is just angsty fun.

One final note, I haven't figured out everyone's appearances, but I can't help but see Katarina in her Magical Girl outfit with a few Paimon-esque accessories.

[ill-be-istj-if-no-one-else-is]

Hello, sorry if this is information ive missed anywhere but I wanted to ask what Enneagram types get easily irritated? Or at least very irritated/angry under pressure. I find I am like this often with irritation being one of my most prominent emotions, but I'm having trouble finding which enneagram reacts this way? The core fear I relate to most is 9's but theyre always spoken about how they dont understand or repress their anger. Thank you for your time.

Hi anon,

I think, to be honest, most types could be like this. As for easily irritated, which I'm interpreting as not needing to be pushed to the point of disintegration: 1s and 3s are my first two thoughts. 5s are also kind of high-strung and 6s can get very negative.

I would say if you relate to 9, I'd take a look at 5 and 6 first. There's not a ton to go on here so feel free to provide more about your thought process on 9.

Would love to hear your thoughts about the BT breakup scene if you feel like it (I thought they didn't do enough with it and it was barely worth all the build up), and also what you think of their final goodbye moment which had me like :/// like, the way she touched him?? And kind of smiled and shook her head at him?? And he kind of smiled back at her? Wtf? As if they're these amicable lovers tragically torn apart by circumstance, parting on good terms or something?? WAY too nice and friendly for my liking. Not at all the vibe I hoped for from bt ending tbh.

*deep sigh* Look, am I thrilled it’s finally fucking over? Yes. Did I cheer, toast my grandma with our champagne and post a lot of petty ass memes? Absolutely. Did I think it was worth all the fucking screentime they wasted on her and the way the drug Buck’s character down to keep it going long enough for this moment. Not even a little bit.

Yes the costume callback to the eddieana breakup was great, yes Buck getting to be angry and being the one to end things was nice, but there was SO much there that wasn’t even touched on?! The cheating plot looks beyond pointless, even if they had kept in all the “flirting” and “poking” because it had nothing to do with the breakup. Also what was the whole dramatic “I have nowhere else to go” and “you trapped me here” BS all about if she ultimately left with zero fight and zero problems?

Also, Buck saying he was questioned by the LAFD brought up a really interesting point and bit of contention that didn’t get brought up either! And a single line drop that a lot of people missed means the reason for Buck being upset and deciding this was the thing he couldn’t move past with tay kay went over many viewers heads if a lot of the comments I’ve been seeing are to be believed. Buck losing the 118, losing his family is important, but they were ultimately okay(ish) and tay kay clearly believes she did “good” in getting the “truth” out there since the guy was caught and couldn’t physically hurt them at that point. But it wasn’t just about that! People keep siding with her because she was just doing her job, but she wasn’t! She doesn’t work for the NY Times or CNN, she’s a local station breaking news reporter. It wouldn’t have mattered if “someone else” got the scoop first. A) because he whole thing was people’s lives being in danger and if that was actually what she was concerned about it wouldn’t have mattered who broke the story as long as people were safe AND he was not currently a threat to public safety, and B) no one else COULD have gotten the scoop because the LAFD wouldn’t have commented to anyone in the press about an ongoing investigation. BUT she easily could have gone to the LAFD and told them she knew people involved and asked if when they were ready to release info if she could do exclusive interviews. She might have been able to swing that without anyone getting in trouble.

Had Jonah not taken Hen and Chim and the LAFD determined he was a danger to the public, he would have been brought in for questioning and there likely would have been some info released, but there is a reason the line “I can’t comment on an on-going investigation” exists. His case spans multiple states and departments with possibly thousands of potential victims. Tay Kay leaked information about an ongoing investigation that could have jeopardized the investigation or at least muddied the waters, and could have gotten Buck, Hen, and Chim, possibly even Bobby and Athena in trouble for talking to the press about it. Buck was angry because he could have lost his job, his identity and purpose that he finds in being a firefighter, as could have his friends because he told them she was trustworthy. She put all their jobs in jeopardy and THAT’S why he’s so upset. But we didn’t get to see that because we apparently needed 3 emergencies in the finale instead of actually focusing on our main characters and wrapping up their strorylines. 🙄

And don’t even get me STARTED on their final scene in the montage. What TF was the point of Buck finally getting to be even a little bit angry, or them having her character be shown to still care about no one but herself and nothing but her job, if they were STILL going to show them having an amicable split?! And I’ve seen the comparisons of her touching him with the eddieana breakup scene, but even that is so incredibly different?! Like, Eddie is so tense and that moment is so viscerally uncomfortable to watch because he does not want that woman putting her hands on him. And he wasn’t even MAD at her! He’d just realized the relationship wasn’t what he wanted or needed. But Buck was justifiably pissed. People he loves got hurt, he got questioned at work, but sure let’s have them end on a sweet note. That man should have been staring out the window as she left the key on the counter and we see him breathe a sigh of relief when he hears the door close. 

It’s just so fucking clear that she was always one of KR’s pet characters and BT was her pet project and no matter what she wanted to leave it amicable even though it really, really shouldn’t have been. She is the master at undercutting the narrative and the emotional beats. We saw it with what she did with 4x14 and wedging tay kay and BT into an episode that SHOULD have been about Eddie and we saw it again here. She even said that even though BT are for sure done, tay kay could come back. So that explains the amicable split even though Buck deserved so much better than having to still be friendly with her after being miserable all season. 

She’s gone, and Buck got to be a little angry and got to be the one to end it. But satisfying it was NOT. Not after everything we had to suffer through to get her, not after all the screentime wasted on her character when this could have ended this way AGES ago, not after watching her suck the light and life out of Buck all season, and certainly not after them dragging Buck’s character down and turning him into a liar and a cheater for what turned out to be no reason at all. 

#my sweet not so anonymous friends #911 #911 spoilers #evan buckley #anti bucktaylor #anti taylor kelly #evan buckley deserved better and so did we #he deserved to talk about being miserable and the way she always talks down to him #he deserved to talk about her jeopardizing his job and the lives and jobs of people he loves for a story #but at least she's gone and we buck and oliver are out of our misery as is eddie #so there's that

TALK ABOUT CALEB AND MAEVE!!!!! …………. Pls

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE

Okay SO even though we did not get to see much of how they interacted with each other in a post-s3-finale world, the writing easily manages to set up an incredibly close bond between these two that in my opinion, didn't feel forced or artificial at all. It’s clear that both Caleb and Maeve genuinely like each other and despite the hard circumstances, they enjoy the time they spend together.

I think in 4.01 when Uwade tells Caleb “I’m beginning to think it’s not that you fear war, it’s that you miss it.” This is maybe what she is referring to. I don’t believe he longs for the actual fighting aspect of war (although it could still be that), I think what he really misses is having that level of emotional intimacy he had with Maeve, because she would almost always know and understand exactly what he’s struggling with. His wife tries and she’s doing her best, but you can see where she starts to get frustrated with Caleb because he’s always going through it and she doesn’t really know how to help. Maeve, on the other hand, never gets frustrated with him for feeling stuck in the past, because she knows what that feels like.

It’s hard to say for sure though, because Caleb does have a very hard time letting anything go. Part of that is his nature, he has been this way since his childhood, most likely because of what happened when his mom left him behind. And then there’s also the fact that Rehoboam used that information against him to determine his original fate. So when he is finally given a real chance to move on...he still can't. He just becomes worried that because it all ended so abruptly, the war isn’t truly over for him and he can’t ever let it go. There is always that anxiety of ‘what if there is another threat out there, waiting for me to let my guard down?’ It feels unresolved, and as we find out, it is!

One of the main things that really got me attached to their dynamic in season 4 is that, when Maeve is driving them to the quarry to set up their extraction point in 4.04, she finally tells Caleb the truth about why she left, after having to deflect or distract him the previous times he tried to ask about it. He is in really bad shape, in a lot of pain and slowly bleeding out, fearing he won’t make it back to his family. It’s all she can do to give him one less thing to trouble himself about.

But it’s also just in their normal interactions, too. Maeve teases Caleb and makes her usual clever quips, but her teasing directed toward him is always so soft, and even a little flirtatious sometimes. She never treats Caleb like he is lesser than her just because he happens to be a human man. Likewise, Caleb never treats Maeve like she is any less real than he is just because she is a host and he isn’t. They both completely trust and respect each other as equals, and their differences are kind of an afterthought unless something becomes glaringly obvious. They just… have so much love for each other.

#aworldofyou #* big data compiles information on everybody / META. #* i'm an underachiever / OOC. #* you deserve to have something real to hold onto / DYN. | MAEVE & CALEB. #i still have plenty more to talk about when it comes to these two i'm sure #but this was what came to mind over the past couple days

shakarian:I miss you, Commander. Part2

"…" The sympathetic smile disappeared from Liara's face. Her poker face was acquired after becoming a Shadow Broker. At this point, I can't read what she's thinking. "During my breaks on duty, I asked Mordin to secretly donate the Collector's tech and money to the facility.It's true that it wasn't a commendable act, but I just couldn't give up on it even though I knew it was useful." "Yes, Garrus. I understand" "But I haven't offered anything about Cerberus. I didn't have permission to access the database…it was strictly controlled by Miranda and EDI" "yes" "Then, who would do something like that? Neither Cerberus nor the Collector, it's not something that ordinary mercenaries can easily come into contact with. Furthermore, even if you search the galaxy, you won't find many third parties with good intentions who would provide the information to a research institution." "…Don't you already know the answer? ” Liara's voice is gentle. So I covered my face with my hands, Oh, I guess so. "…Why? I haven't said a single word about my mother to that person." "If someone is in trouble, She can't help but lend a helping hand. Especially if it's someone she love." "Aren't you the source of the information, Shadow Broker?" "I know that the Commander was operating the terminal left behind by my predecessor." Well then, she knew. My mother was suffering from an incurable disease. I secretly passed on information to outside. "…I can't contact her via extranet. Do you know what the Commander is doing now?" I groaned lowly, and through my fingers, I could see Liara sighing. "The Alliance has her under house arrest. I guess they can't handle it because her activities were so extralegal. It's not her time to do that." "Can't you help her too?" "I'd like to, but my time is spent trying to find a way to counter the Reapers. Of course, I would like to help the Commander out of her predicament, but…" All I could do was nod. A dedicated task force was set up for me, and I was put at the top. Today's funeral is the first private time I've had in a while, and other than that, I've been busy preparing for the decisive battle while feeling anxious. "……I want to meet her" I lean against my backrest and whispers in a voice so low that even I can't hear it. On the other side of the screen, Liara also nodded. "For better or worse, this situation will not last forever. I'm sure Commander Shepard will be heading to the front lines soon. If we don't do what we can now for that time, Garrus." "Ah…I know." I thanked Liara for contacting her despite her busy schedule, and cut off the communication.I looked up at the ceiling. (I feel you all the time, even when I'm not by your side. What about you? Have you forgotten about me?) The light years of distance and the fact that we're so entangled in each other's positions are painful. I wished I could have introduced the Commander to my mother, but at that moment tears welled up and rolled down my hard skin. "…I miss you, Commander." I muttered a little and closed my eyes. There is no answer yet.

< Part1

I finished Shadow Broker the other day, hey Garrus!?!?!?!? Introduce Shepard to your family

Summary:

Vex and Vax have always been outsiders. A harsh childhood in the elite elven city of Syngorn quickly taught them not to rely on others. Now, freed from the expectations of their exacting father and the scornful eyes of Syngorn’s elves, the cunning ranger and the conning rogue have made their own way in the world of Exandria. The twins have traveled far and experienced great hardship. But with the help of Vex's quick wit and Vax's quicker dagger, they've always kept ahead of trouble. Now, unknown perils await them in the bustling city of Westruun, where the twins become entangled in a web spun by the thieves’ guild known to many as the Clasp. Trapped by a hasty deal, Vex and Vax (along with Vex's faithful bear companion, Trinket) set out into the wilds to fulfill their debt to the infamous crime syndicate. As the situation grows more complicated than they ever could have imagined, for the first time Vex and Vax find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that threatens the home they have carried with each other for years.

  *Opinions*

There is no way for me to be unbiased about this book as I am a huge fan of Critical Role and loved these characters before I ever opened the front cover. I feel as if Nijkamp knew that while writing this novel and truly made it a gift of love to the Critters, but also tried to make it accessible to newcomers to the world of Exandria. I don’t know if they always succeed, see the statement about bias above, but I did find this a fun and emotional read. I will attempt to be as fair and neutral as possible in this review, but I come in with years of feelings about Vex'ahlia and Vax’ildan, and Trinket too of course. 

The twins' Vex and Vax are known for their fierce loyalty to one another and their witty banter, both of which were on display in Kith & Kin. I feel that Nijkamp really captured the relationship that was so compelling in the Streaming show as well as the animated series. If you have a sibling that you even slightly like, you can feel the truth in their interactions. However, because the draw of many people coming into this novel is the relationship and banter between the twins it is a little disappointing that they are apart for such a large portion of the novel. That being said, their characterization is well done and you got to see them grow in a way that didn’t feel out of place with what is seen during any of the other iterations of the pair. 

The hardest chapters to read were the ones about the twins’ past, especially their time in Syngorn and how their father treated them. While I knew this backstory before reading the novel, to see the way that both Vex and Vax were belittled and broken by both the other elves and their father was hard to read. I always have a soft spot for stubborn and sassy children and I hate it when they are treated poorly by adults. This also spreads to Aswin, who is easily lovable, no matter who her family was or what else happens in the novel. It hurts to see children hurt, especially when the author has made them especially likable children, which is also difficult to do. 

I found the plot compelling, but it didn’t reinvent the wheel. There is his story, her story, and the truth is somewhere in the middle. I appreciated that the conflict was complex and neither party was blameless because usually, that is how the world works. Yet, you cared for both sides of the conflict because they were shown as people who were molded into monsters because of the conflict and the stories that were told. While it was nice for the reader to get both sides of the story, through each of the twins, there were times when I almost felt as if I had missed reading a page because the information was talked about in a way that made it seem as if we should know it, but it had been revealed off page. Now, I appreciate an author who doesn’t think they have to lead the reader through the story by the hand, but it did pull me out of the story once or twice. Also, the tone of this novel very much had the feeling of a D&D one-shot, which given the source material I very much appreciated. 

I appreciated that this is a very diverse fantasy story. The characters have a wide range of skin tones, pronouns, sexualities, and disabilities. I was particularly happy to see a wheelchair-using assassin and a thief that used crutches. They used their differences to their advantage but didn’t diminish the hardship that they faced. It shouldn’t be something that is so new, especially in a fantasy novel with magic and dragons, but there are so many of them seem to think that those who are the typical fantasy character (perfectly healthy, straight, cis, and usually white) are the only ones that can “realistically” be in fantasy novels and TTRPG games. Our main characters are also unapologetically bisexual, but there isn’t a big coming out or angst over it, they just are. Again nice to see in a fantasy novel. 

The biggest issue I had with this novel is there are pacing issues. At times the story felt as if you were going too fast through the story and then a number of chapters where it was just both the twins feeling as if they have to get back to the other and being frustrated that they can’t. While I loved these characters coming in and have literally watched four hours of the Streaming Game when all they do is shop, I don’t know if people who didn’t already feel attached to the characters found those parts compelling. I feel as if Nijkamp, at times, leaned too heavily into the idea that everyone reading this novel was already a fan of the series. It was a fun ride, but would have some of the lines hit as deeply if I didn’t know where Vex and Vax go from here? I’ll never know. 

Overall, a fun fantasy adventure that pits twins on opposite sides of a conflict that is not depicted as black and white. If you are a fan of the Stream or the animated series I recommend this book. If not, this is a great way to get a taste of what those mediums are like that doesn’t take a huge time commitment. I’d be interested to see what you’d make of it going in blind with no backstory. Either way, I think you’ll have a fun time with it, even with the pacing issues. 4.5 star read rounded down to a 4.
