Bad Reputation
Fandom: Marvel (High School AU)
Pairing: Chubby!Bucky x GN!Reader
Summary: For some reason, your high school’s resident bad boy, Bucky Barnes, seemed to have made it your personal mission to be a thorn in your side.
A/N: inspired by this gif set.
Tumblr media
Your eyes glance up every so often to make sure your notes are correct as you scribble into your notebook. Mr. Coulson continues to talk about history and you're adamant to jot down every single thing he says.
You feel something hit the back of your head, but you ignore it. A minute goes by and you feel it again, along with a "pssst!"
You shake your head and try to keep your focus. Something something 1894-
"Hey," you jolt when you hear a whisper and a tap on your shoulder.
You look over your shoulder and see James "Bucky" Barnes now sitting the seat behind you that was previously occupied by Brunnihilde, "What, James?" you hiss.
James, or Bucky as he likes to be called, smirked at his first name. Not many got away with calling him that, but you did.
"Wanna hang out after school?"
You turn back around to continue taking notes, "Don't you have detention...again?"
He scoffs, "Yeah, but I'll skip it for you."
"Pass," you mumble.
You hear him sigh and lean back, "Suit yourself." Minutes pass and you turn back around and Brunnhilde is back in her seat.
________________
When you walk out of class, Bucky is waiting for you by the door. You ignore him as you walk down the hall to your next class. He follows closely behind, you hear the creaking of his leather jacket that he usually wears.
"Leave me alone, James."
Bucky rushes around to stand in front of you, stopping you in your path, "Y/N, why do you hate me so much?"
"Because you're annoying, you're a troublemaker, you never know when to shut up you, you-"
"Jeez. Alright. Damn."
"I have to go to class, James," you walk around him and continue your journey.
He catches up to you again, "I'll walk you!"
"No, thanks."
You continue to head to class, but Bucky doesn't follow this time. He stops in the hall sighing and pushing his hands into his distressed jeans. He looks down dejectedly and heads in the other direction to his class.
The bell already rang by the time he steps into class. Ms. Hill writes him off and he, to no one's surprise, get detention yet again for having three tardies in a row.
He slumps into his seat behind his best friend, Steve, and sighs. As Steve is writing notes, he murmurs only low enough for Bucky to hear, "No luck?"
"Nope," Bucky murmurs back. He looks down and looks how his black t-shirt clings to his round belly. He pats it and sighs, "Do you think they'd like me if maybe I wasn't so chubby?"
"Y/N may not like you, but they're not shallow, Buck."
"I just don't get it. Why don't they like me?"
"Probably because you annoy them so much," Steve answers with a smirk, which earns him a flick to the ear.
"Ow!"
"Steve, is there something you'd like to share with the class?"
He shakes his head, "No, ma'am."
Ms. Hill goes back to giving her lecture and Steve hisses, "Quick being a jerk."
"I'll quit being a jerk if you quit being a punk, you punk," Bucky retorts with an amused grin.
___________________
You head to your usual table where Scott, Hope, Luis, Carol, Brunnhilde, and yourself usually eat.
You sit in between Scott and Carol with a sigh. It's Tuesday, but you already want the week to be over. Carol leans in and whispers to you, "Don't be alarmed, but Bucky's been looking at you since you walked over here."
You groan and let your head fall onto the lunch table, "Why can't he just leave me alone?"
"Because he likes you," Hope answers.
You snort, "More like he likes to annoy me. I don't want anything to do with him. Bad guys like that are up to know good. I don't have time for that."
"I like Bucky," Scott speaks up with a smile, "He's cool."
"You just like him because he gave you a nickname," Hope replies with knowing smirk.
"He's a cool guy!"
You hear a burst of laughter and you look up to see Bucky throwing food at Clint and Sam two tables down.
You roll your eyes and pull out your own lunch. As soon as you're about to take a bite, you hear "WATCH OUT!" and you're hit in the face with a piece of pizza.
Everyone suddenly goes silent. You look up and see Bucky's look of horror. He's immediately rushing over to you, "Y/N! I am SO sorry! I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay, James." you say calmly.
He looks at you in surprise, "Wait, really?"
You take Scott's cupcake that he got from Gamora and said, "NOPE!" and smashed it onto his face.
He wipes away the frosting and smushed cake, and smirked, "That's how it's gonna be? Fine." he grabs your tupperware of pasta and dumps it over your head, "FOOD FIGHT!"
Everyone begins to scatter and starts throwing their food left and right. You grab your food, Scott's food, Luis' food, any food you can get your hands on and throwing them to Bucky.
"YOU'RE SUCH AN ASS!" you yell at him.
"AND YOU'RE A STUCK UP!"
The doors to the cafeteria burst open and the principal, Mr. Fury, yells, "EVERYONE FREEZE." And you all do.
You're seething, glaring at Bucky, chest heaving.
"Who's responsible for this, huh?"
Everyone points to you and Bucky who are in a more isolated area of the cafeteria. Fury, watching where he stepped, marched over to you. He points to Bucky, "Barnes." and then you, "L/N, my office. Now."
________________
Two weeks. Detention for a whole two weeks. You couldn't believe this! Because of Bucky, your record was no longer clean. Your dislikeness towards Bucky just grew after that.
After school, you marched into the cafeteria where you'd be helping the lunch faculty.
"Alright James and Y/N, you'll help with dishes. You can discuss who will wash and who will dry."
Without looking at Bucky you head to the sink, "I'll wash."
Bucky cautiously follows you and stands by your side waiting for you hand him washed dishes.
"Y/N-"
"Don't talk to me, James."
"I'm sorry," he murmurs in a painted tone, "I really didn't mean to throw that pizza at you."
"Why are you like this?!" you drop the dishes back into the sink, "Why must you annoy me and bother me every chance you get?!"
"I-I don't mean to-"
"Bullshit, Barnes!"
"I like you, okay?! I like you and I-I don't know what to do! The only time you look at me or talk to me is when I bother you and I just-I just want you to talk to me, Y/N. To see me."
"Why me? There's plenty other people who'd rather have your attention!"
"I don't know. There's just something about you. You're sweet and smart. You're caring. I know-I know something like me doesn't deserve the attention from someone like you, but I can't help it."
You snort, "You don't know me though. Not really."
"Well, maybe I can get to know you now? Ya know, since you and I will spending a lot of time together here?"
"We'll see," you answer before heading back to doing dishes.
__________________
After a week of detention, you and Bucky were more civilized. You got to know each other a little bit more. You found out that he wanted to take over his dad's construction company, that he wanted to help Steve get into NYU with the money he's been earning from working with his dad.
Bucky learned that you wanted to go to school for journalism and that you have a pet bunny named Floppy.
You found out that Bucky knows Celine Dion's music very well because his mom loves her.
He found out that you wanted to be on Broadway when you were younger, but realized you had bad stage fright.
Whenever you two saw each other in class or in the halls, you didn't turn in the other direction. You gave each other a nod and a polite smile.
Then...the flowers started happening.
You walked into Mr. Coulson's classroom and found a daisy with a note next to it. You picked up the note and it read:
I saw this cute flower and thought of you. Have a good day.
-JB
You looked at the back of the classroom to where Bucky usually sat, but he wasn't there. You snort to yourself and roll your eyes. He's probably going to late, per usual.
A few minutes before class started, Bucky waltzed in and sat in the empty seat beside you. He pulls out a notebook and pencil. He writes the date at the top and looks up at the front of the class to see if there was anything on the whiteboard.
He then turns to you and smirks, "Hi."
"Hi. Thanks for the flower."
"You're welcome," he looks down at his notebook and then looks up to see you still staring at him. He chuckles, "What?"
"You're early to class and prepared....are you feeling okay?" you lean in, feeling his head with the back of his hand.
You swats your hand away, "Quit it! I'm fine! Just turning over a new leaf. I'm gonna be a changed man, Y/N."
"Okaaaay?"
Your school day went by fast. One moment you were in your first class and the next you're in the cafeteria helping clean the kitchen.
"So...what's the real reason you're suddenly trying to be a good student?"
"Does there have to be a reason?" Bucky asks as he wipes down the counters.
"There's a reason for everything, Bucky." you freeze and so does Bucky. You look up and he's looking way too smug for your liking, "It was a slip of the tongue."
"You called me, Bucky."
"It won't happen again."
"Can I hear it again?"
"Nope."
"Please?"
"Hell no."
"Okay...I do like it when you call me James, though. Just so you know." he looks at you with a soft stare and an equally soft smile.
You cleared your throat and went back to refilling the fridge with milk, "Anyway, the reason?"
Bucky sighs and walks over to you, resting against a counter as you work, "Had a meeting with Fury. Said if I don't improve on my grades, I'm gonna get held back. Means I can't pursue my goals with taking over my dad's business, can't help Stevie with school. I gotta be better."
You pause and then ask, "Do you....want some help?"
"Um...I'd like some, but you don't have to. I can't ask-"
"You're not asking, James. I'm offering."
"Sure."
So after school, while you and Bucky served your detention, you helped him study.
Eventually, your detention was over, but that didn't stop you from helping Bucky. During lunch, you two would be in the library. You two would study at the park near your house. You soon began to show you his grades and they were definitely improving.
When Bucky got his first A in a long time, you took him out to lunch to celebrate.
You guys went to the local café in your neighborhood, getting burger, fries, and shakes.
You lifted up your shake, "Congrats, James, to your first A in a logn time!"
Bucky held up his own and clinked it to yours, "And to you, Y/N, because I wouldn't have done it without you."
"Guess we make a great team, huh?"
Bucky smiles that smile that you've noticed he only does with you, "Yeah...we do."
____________
"You've been spending a lot of time with Bucky for someone who hates him," Carol states as you join them at the lunch table after what seemed like forever.
You rolled your eyes as you sat down, "I don't hate him. I never did, honestly. Just strongly disliked! But anyway, we're good now. Bonded a lot during detention and then I was tutoring him. We're....friends now."
"Just friends?" Brunnhilde asked.
"Yup. Just friends!"
After school, Bucky is waiting for you by your car.
He nervously wipes his sweaty palms down his round belly and runs a hand through his hair, "Um, hey."
"Hey, what's up?"
"I just wanted to let you know something. You know my feelings for you and, honestly, they haven't changed. In fact, they've only grown since we've been spending so much time together. And, there's another reason why I wanted to do better in school...and that's you."
"Me?"
"I wanted to be better for you, so I can show you that I'm not just that punk ass kid that doesn't care about anything and anyone. That I'm more than just my bad reputation. And, I think this past month, I've done a pretty good job at showing that. But anyway, I was wondering, if you feel the same? And if you wanna go on a date sometime?"
His confession floored you. You didn't expect him to say any of this, "James, I-I won't lie, that I have some feelings for you, but it-it takes a lot more than this for me to like someone. I mean, we just became friends. And while I do like how you've changed, I just-there's more to it than just that."
He nods and clears his throat, "Right. Got it. I'm sorry-"
"Don't be," you grab hold of his arm, "Maybe...we can just be friends for now and see how it goes?"
He nods, "Yeah. Okay. You set the pace and I'll follow, Y/N. I'd rather have you as a friend than not at all."
"I can't promise anything would come from this."
"I know. I'm just....glad you finally see me."
You smile at him with softness in your eyes, "I'm glad I finally see you too."

I've gotten a bit into Dark Deception lately too, and I was just intrigued by the idea of one of the Lucky the Rabbit Joy Joy Gang clones being a Nice defect of all the others with no homicidal tendencies whatsoever who hides away in the maze to avoid being bullied by the others. A similar idea for a Nice Trigger Teddy scared of people and warning them because he doesn't want to blow anybody up. It's another shameless 'these evil characters are cute, i want a Nice One to make into a woobie' situation, which I am guilty of doing a LOT.
I hope you don't mind but I wrote a short story about this concept—
Lefty picked up his feet, hearing the maniacal laughter getting louder and the loud thumping behind him. It wasn’t easy, but he had to outrun them if he wanted to survive.
He skidded around the corner, jumping slightly when he heard the wall break behind him which meant only one thing: Hangry was now pursuing him also.
“Get back here! You will join the Joy Joy Gang! Joy! Joy! Joy!”
All that did was prompt Lefty to push harder to run, he was terrified of being captured and reprogrammed, knowing they would likely completely wipe his memory, meaning he'd forget everything— his family, his children, his friends, and his love.
He saw a door ahead and ran towards it, almost jumping towards it as he felt pain shot up from his leg where Hangry had grabbed him before and bit him, luckily he managed to escape but his ability to run was kind of hindered.
He grabbed the door knob, pushing it open and immediately slamming it behind him, he quickly looked around the room to survey the location and spotting items such as a desk, chairs, and lockers, which he could use to barricade the door.
He limped over quickly, pushing the desk forward towards the door and turning it down so the top part of the desk was facing directly foward. He heard the familiar “Joy! Joy! Joy!” taunting chant which prompted him to hurriedly pushed the desk against the door.
As soon as he did that, he was startled to see the door handle rattle violently.
“Hey! You're cheating!!” Lefty heard Lucky scream, “Open this door!!”
He backed away slowly, half expecting Hangry to break down the door as he had seen the pig break down countless walls while chasing him, which that was scary to Lefty, as he couldn’t tell where the pig would come from, he could be sneaking away from Lucky and Penny but running straight towards Hangry, who would be waiting around the next corner, ready to smash down the walls to get him.
For some reason, Hangry appeared angry that Lefty was “inedible” as he described, which Lefty guessed it meant that Hangry would probably eat people and he was terrified for a moment that the pig had killed his kids but he remembered that Hangry commented that he hadn’t eaten anything for “so long” and Lefty breathed in relief, realizing that Alec and Hazel were still alive.
They weren’t here, but they were still alive somewhere else.
“You can't delay the inevitable!! This isn’t the end and I won't lose to someone like you!!”
Lucky viewed this as a game, Lefty shivered, he pressed himself against the wall, raising his injured leg, trying to think of what he could do to fix it immediately so he could continue to search for an exit.
He didn’t know how he came here, only recalling that he was walking downstairs with Fetch by his side to make breakfast, then he woke up, face down on the concrete at the entrance of this twisted amusement park. He didn’t care at this point how he got here, he just wanted to leave immediately, he had a sick feeling this was a trap, a trap designed to separate him from his family and friends so they were defenceless.
He hoped that Alec and Hazel were okay, he knew in the past that he had instructed them as well as Matt and Stanley that if he was unable to protect them, they had to, they had to run to protect themselves and hopefully Lefty would find them later. He didn’t care about being rescued, he did care about what they might do to Alec and Hazel, as well as his other friends.
So far it didn’t appear that these awful machines had Alec and Hazel, Lefty was sure if they did, they would have mentioned it as a means to get him to cooperate. It could mean however that Alec and Hazel were held by someone else, as he had heard Lucky mention an entity named “Malak”, which that completely disapproved Lefty's initial suspicions that Nightmare was behind this, with yet another plan to bring harm to Alec and Hazel.
All he wanted was to get back to them as soon as possible.
His heart leapt when he heard something behind him, he immediately turned his head around to the source of the noise. He saw a locker door had pulled itself backwards.
His suspicion level rose, he slowly marched over, walking to the side of the locker that he saw had opened.
And he roughly pushed it to the side.
The locker easily tumbled down with a loud bang and Lefty heard an audible “OUCH!” from inside it
“I know you're watching me!” Lefty exclaimed, “Come out! I'm sick of you horrible Joy Joy gang members tormenting me!!” He kicked the side with his good leg, hearing another “OUCH!” from inside.
He stood still, prepared to attack, watching the locker door rattle before it swung open.
Lefty backed away, seeing a large gloved hand reach out.
A Lucky robot pulled itself out of the locker, laying on the floor for a moment before standing up straight.
Lefty immediately curled his fingers and delivered a swift punch to his face.
“OUCH!” Lucky exclaimed, holding his nose, “You're hurting me!”
“That's the idea dipshit!” Lefty snarled, “Now let me leave! Call off your gang and all your doppelgängers, let me walk out of here!”
It shook its head, “I'm not doing it!!”
“I don’t care if you’re the leader or the underling! I will keep fighting despite being injured! So it's better if you just stop!!” Lefty grabbed his ears, pulling him down.
“BUT I'M NOT HURTING YOU!!”
“Are you playing reverse psychology?”
“LOOK AT ME!! DO I LOOK LIKE ONE OF THEM??”
Lefty froze, looking over this particular Lucky model. He did notice it didn’t look “show ready” as he would describe it, as it had several missing suit parts, particularly on one arm, from the lower arm to the finger tips, it was just an exposed robot arm. The suit also looked dirty, with obvious mud caked on the feet, dried up black oil around its eyes, the fur at some parts looked matted, like he hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
“I'm hiding also,” The rabbit explained, “I'm hiding from them.”
“What are you? An unfinished prototype?” Lefty let go off his ears.
“Malak said I'm a defect!”
“A defect...?” Lefty said skeptically, he knew that “defect” could mean anything, it didn’t necessarily mean this one was good, it could mean that it was missing some important programming. He was also a little confused about the tone in which he had said “defect”, like he didn’t understand what it meant.
“I don’t like them... they're mean... so I've been hiding anywhere I could basically!” Lucky exclaimed, “The concept of killing people doesn’t appeal to me.”
“How do I know you're not lying through your teeth right now?” Lefty frowned.
“I know why you wouldn’t believe me... I know you aren’t one of them... one of the Joy Joy Gang, I mean.”
“Indeed,” Lefty answered, “I just want to go home, to my family... I don’t know where the exit is though and I’ve been chased around in circles by those three,” Lefty exhaled, overwhelmed.
“Maybe... Maybe I can help you to escape! I have a map of this place installed in my memory!”
“As if I'll blindly follow you,” Lefty knew he couldn’t just blindly trust anyone in a strange place.
“How can I...? Oh! I know! Your leg!” Lucky pointed at it, “Looks like you've caused some damage to the main connection on the knee joint... you need a replacement if you want to run as fast as you can... I don’t have a replacement part on me right now, but rubber bands can help hold the joint steady temporarily so it won’t break further! Hopefully long enough for you to escape and get back to your family!”
Lefty tilted his head, “Why would you help me?”
“I want to... I've seen too many people being killed... and hearing you have a family... I know they'd be devastated if you died!” Lucky shook his head.
“I... I don’t know if I can trust you...” Lefty admitted.
“How about I tell you what you need to do with the Joy Joy Gang? You just need to electrify them!” Lucky replied, “That'll stun them long enough for you to have a chance to escape!”
“Is there anything I can do about Hangry? He's a real big problem for me right now.”
“Hangry... you can try roaring at him... he doesn’t like animals like lions or bears...”
Lefty frowned, that seemed too simple and he knew there was likely a catch, “Suppose I could... Alright... so...”
“Lucky.”
“For personal reasons, I'd rather not call you Lucky, I've had a bad experience with someone named Lucky and what's going on right now isn’t helping... can I give you a nickname instead?” Lefty suggested
“Okay!” He seemed happy at the suggestion, “What do you wanna call me?”
Lefty thought for a minute, he didn’t want something too silly, or something too unusual, but he wanted it to be distinctive.
“How about... Jai?” Lefty asked.
He saw his eyes lit up, “Ooooo Jai! That sounds so interesting!”
“It means victory.”
“Wow! I finally have a name, maybe I can stop associating myself with... that other guy...” He frowned.
“Well...” Lefty extended out his arm, “My name is Lefty.”
“Hello Lefty! I'm Jai!” He proudly introduced himself, shaking Lefty's arm, “Wow! That felt amazing! Just to introduce myself like that, as someone separate from the Joy Joy Gang!”
“I apologize also for attacking you,” Lefty shook his head.
“Oh I understand and it's forgiven... now how about I find those rubber bands and you can tell me more about yourself in the meantime, I wanna know about your family! If that's okay of course...”
Lefty chuckled, smiling at Jai.

How about Zell or Beau?
Yandere Zell X Reader X Yandere Beau
Family
Journal entry: 689, 11 June 2020
It’s now day 1460 since we last saw our dear mayor. The others are saying that they aren’t coming back. That we should all move on. But I still have hope, I know them. They would never leave me! We’re beat buds! But it’s getting harder and harder everyday to keep hope up. I will never give up hope, I’ll keep hoping. For their sake
Zell sighed as he closed his journal. This is how life has been for him, every day for the past four years. The only thing he looked forward to in the morning was the possibility of maybe, just maybe, his mayor and close friend would return. But he can’t keep fooling himself, no matter how hard he tried. He knew the chances of you returning were next to nothing. He was worried that something could have happened to you, but even if something did happen, by now it’s too late to do anything about it. Most of the other villagers had already accepted this fact, but not Zell. No, never Zell. He couldn’t accept the fact that he would most likely never see you again. So he tried to trick himself into believing that there was still a chance he would get to see you again, by now, that thought was the only thing that kept him sane. But no matter, there was the tiny part of his mind that kept saying that he would never see you ever again. But boy was he wrong.
It was another day in the village, the sky was filling to the brim with dark clouds. All of a sudden the rain that was filling the clouds started to pour down hard. Now, this wasn’t your usual rain, no. This was much more violent. The rain was pouring down like the streams going down a waterfall, and anyone who was still outside had to get in quickly. One of those people was Zell. As he slammed his door behind him he stood in silence for a couple of seconds, letting the water drip onto the floor. This was his favourite shirt, and now, just like his mood, it was ruined. He threw off his shirt as it landed on the floor it gave off a lout splat. That was the shirt you gave him. It was the last thing he had from you. And now it was ruined, GONE...just like you...
It all crashed down on him in that moment, the realisation that he would never see you, that you could be hurt or worse, left the island without even caring about what he had to say. He felt his eyes sting, knowing that feeling all to well. He tried to fan his eyes but when that failed it only made his eyes well up more. Before he could calm himself he collapsed down into the ground. Hot tears rolling down his face. He did nothing to stop them, he just laid there. Letting his dreadful thoughts take over him. He cried and cried and screamed and cried. And when he couldn’t cry anymore, he laid on the ground, letting his breath return to normal. And then he stood up, went to the kitchen to make some tea, and when that was done, he went to go watch some tv.
Flipping through the channels he found nothing to watch, or at least anything he liked. That was until he saw what appeared to be some sort of interview of K.K. Slider. “This oughta do it” he said, eyes still red from crying. The interview was about some sort of visit that K.K. Had recently done.
“So tell me Mr. Slider, is it true that you hosted a private concert on the island (I/N) completely free of charge?” (I/N)? Zell has heard about that island. It was the island were Tom Nook lived with his two kids. Or well, what he could only assume was his kids, they looked very alike. But other than that he didn’t know anything else about the island.
“Ayup, sure did Francis” K.K. told the interviewer.
“Well, could we ask you why mr. Slider?” The interviewer, Francis asked.
“They seemed cool, and I had a deal with Mr. Nook. Heh, 'deal'. It sounds so formal and almost like I had a gun held to my head, but I can assure you. It was really fun. (I/N) is a really nice island, I actually stayed there for a while before I went back home” K.K. said. As he told his story, a bunch of pictures came up on the screen. They were seemingly taken by K.K himself, and yeah Zell had to admit, the island certainly looked nice. There were beaches and fruit trees and the folks looked really nice an- OH MY GOD!!!
Zell quickly stood up, the tea he was previously holding falling down to the ground, smashing into thousands of pieces. But Zell didn’t care, his eyes were glued to the tv screen. There, right on the screen, were a photo of K.K. and a human. A human that he would recognise any were. A human that he had spent years of his life with. A human that he had spent FOUR YEARS yearning after. It was you. You were alive! And you looked so different! Your hair looked different and you were wearing different clothes. But even then, Zell could still recognise you. You were holding your arm around K.K.’a shoulder and smiling to the camera. Zell didn’t know why but this made him feel...something. Anger? Sadness? Irritation? Whatever it was. He didn’t like it. But that didn’t matter right now, what mattered was you were alive and out there, which meant he could find you! (I/N) was it? Well, maybe it was time for him to buy an island getaway package. After all of this, he needed a vacation...
Another day, another opportunity. Beau was sitting under a tree, eating a donut and thinking about life in general. That’s when he heard a voice call out to him. “Beau! Over here!” He turned his head to where the voice came from, smiling as he knew exactly who it was. And there you were, running towards him with a big smile on your face. As you reached him you sat down besides him, taking a few seconds to catch your breath. “What’s up saltlick?” He asked, giving you a smile. “Hi Beau, I wanted to ask you if you’d like to have a picnic with me, Timmy and Tommy later? We’re gonna eat lots of cake” as you told him this his eyes lit up with joy. “Would I? Of course I wanna join you! When is it?” He exclaimed putting his hoofs together and giving you a raid, happy nod. You laughed a little at this, classic Beau. So quick to fall asleep whenever but lightning fast as soon as you mention food. “Well, we were thinking it would be around 2 pm when the boys have their break, think you could make it?” You asked him, Beau only responded to this with more rapid nodding.
The two of you talked a little longer until it was time for Isabelles morning announcement. You walked near one of the speakers by the plaza to hear a bit better. “Good morning everyone! Isabelle here with your morning announcement. Today we have a new neighbour joining us, so make sure to give them a warm welcome from all of (I/N). That’s it for today, have fun”
Oh? “We’re getting a new resident? Did you about this Y/N?” Beau asked you, looking very confused. “No, I wasn’t informed about this at all” you answered heading into the resident service.
As you entered, the sound of a bell pinging slightly came from the door. This made a certain Tanookis ears perk up as he quickly turned to the door with a smile. “Oh, Y/N. Come in, come in!” He said, as you sat down he could see how curiosity was gracing your features, like a small child following their guardian to ask them what they’re doing. “Hmm? Is something wrong?” He tilted his head and you could see Isabelle walk towards the both of you. “Hello Y/N! How are you doing today?” She asked with a large smile. This made you chuckle slightly, she was so adorable sometimes. “I’m doing alright but uhh...is there a new resident moving here today?” You asked, wondering about this new islander. “Oh yes! He asked to move in here in as soon as possible, I think he said it was very urgent and that he would pay to get a spot on this specific island. I of course told him that there’s no need for payment. But yes, he’ll be arriving here shortly, in a few hours I think” Tom answered you, pulling up some papers out of a drawer. “His name was...Zell! His name was Zell and he’s a deer” this made your heart stop...Z...Zell? “Mr. Nook-“ “Please Y/N, there’s no need for such formalities” “Oh, right. Tom, could I perhaps see a picture of...Zell?” You asked him, Tom nodded and handed you the file. As soon as the file was in your grasp you started to frantically flip through the notes, looking for something that would indeed affirm your hopes.
“Sorry that I held up your picnic boys” you told the two small tanookies standing besides you. You and a bunch of other residents where waiting for Zell to arrive. You was the first one to sit down and wait. But over time Timmy, Tommy and Beau has joined you. And slowly, the entire island was sitting there in anticipation. “It’s alright Y/N ...ʸ/ᴺ. We would have had to cancel it anyways, we wanna welcome our new resident after all ...ᵃˡˡ” You smiles at the two boys, always so selfless. Your thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a plane flying close by. It was Wilbur! You stood up as the plane landed by the dock. You felt like you were about to explode out of both nervousness and excitement, if it hadn’t been for all the people here, you would have run into the airport. After a few minutes, you saw a figure come out of the airport. And just like you, he stood frozen there. It was him. It was Zell.
Without a word, you started sprinting towards him. And so did he. The two of you met in the middle and you crashed into a big hug. Tears started to pour out of your eyes. You were shaking out of pure joy. Zell embraced you so hard. Feeling like if he let you go, you would disappear once again. A lot of residents looked confused as they saw the scene before them. Even Beau could be seen with a slightly...irritation in his eyes. But after a while, you and Zell exited out of the hug. But you were still holding each other’s arms. You let out a shaky breath as you gave him a smile, only to be met with eyes filled with tears and despair. “Why did you leave me”
A single grade that made your heart split in two, he thought you had left him. “Zell, no I-I didn’t want to leave. It was purely against my will! Trust me! There wasn’t a day when I didn’t think about you, i searched everywhere but...” you couldn’t finish the sentence, voice cracking and even more tears poring out. Zell only responded by hugging you again. “Please don’t leave again...” “I won’t”
While the two of you were embracing each other. There was an antelope watching you, much to his dismay. How dare this deer come out of nowhere and just ruin his evening plans with y ou. You were gonna have a picnic with Timmy and Tommy, it would almost feel like you were a family, but no, this random deer just HAD to move in. It made him sick to his stomach. But he had to put on a fake persona, he didn’t want you to find out about his true emotions. Y/N walked up to the others, holding Zells hand, and started introducing him to everyone. So it seems you two had a background, way before Beau met you. That made him and but he knew you liked him more. But as Y/N was explaining the situation Zell came up and hugged her from behind very tenderly. This made Beaus blood boil to the point were he could barely keep it inside of him. He’d have to have a talk with this deer later.
It was nighttime now, you and Zell had been with each other the whole day, but now it was time to sleep. You said goodbye to each other and as Zell went into his home, he’d have a lot of things to unpack. But as he closed his door and turned on the lights he saw that Beau, the antelope from earlier were sitting by his boxes of furnitures. “Hello, Zell was it? I need to speak with you” Zell looked cautiously at the Antelope. Carefully planning his next move, like a feline ready to attack. “Who are you, how did you get in here?” Zell squinted slightly, still glaring at the person in front of him. “Beau, but that doesn’t matter. I wanted to tell you to stay away from Y/N. I don’t care if you used to be friends or something, but they’re mine now. So back off” Beau said, pressing the word friends as if the thought of that disgusted him. This made Zell chuckle, much to Beaus dismay. “Hey! Quit laughing! I’m serious!” He said getting more and more annoyed by the second. “Ahaha...listen pronk...you don’t know how long I’ve been without Y/N, how long I’ve yearned for them. And if you think I will EVER give them up just because of some empty threats from someone like you? Then you’ve got another thing coming. You don’t seem to understand how far I’m willing to go for Y/N. So unless you want to become a corpse, then I suggest getting the fuck out of my house”
This made Beau tense up a little bit. He hadn’t expected for Zell to bite back. He usually didn’t resort to threats when it came to keeping you for himself. But when he did, most people would stay away. He’d never actually had to hurt someone to keep you, but maybe this would be the first time. “Bad choice saltlick...” he got into a fighting stance, preparing to start butting his newfound rival. Zell also got down to prepare himself but then it struck him. “Are you close to Y/N?” He asked, slowly but carefully standing up straight. This caught Beau off guard, what? Why would he care? “Yes...we’re very close...how come?” And just like Zell, Beau rose up into his normal posture. “Hmm, then they would be very sad if you died...i have an idea” Zell said coming closer to Beau. ”Stay back!” Beau quickly felt like the tankes had turned. He came in with the confidence that he would convince Zell, but now he actually started to get scared. “Oh calm down you baby, I’m not gonna hurt you...as long as you comply, got that?” Zell demanded, Beau only only frantically in response. “Good...good. Now, let me ask you this Beau. When you see others talking to Y/N, don’t you feel a burning sensation in your chest? Don’t you feel like you want to get rid of them? Like you want to-“
“Lock Y/N up and keep them forever...yes...practically everyday...” Zell grinned at the Antelopes Quick response, he knew that hungry craving stare anywhere. Beau was lovesick, just like he was. But for the first time in Zells life, two lovesick people had fallen for the same person. And while sure, they could battle over who gets to keep you, Zell could use this- could use Beau, to his advantage. “Well, how about we help each other out. We both want the same thing don’t we? So instead of unnecessary violence, how about we put our brains and brawn together to get what we both want” Zell prompted, now walking around the room, looking at his boxesz. “Y/N?” “Bingo! That’s right, Y/N...”
Drip...drip...drip...
God...damn it...there was a persistent dripping noice coming from somewhere in your room. It had woken you up, much to your dismay. You tried to get up only to hear the sound of chains ring through the room. What? What was this. You starter to move more only to hear the chain noice even more vividly. Now you were starting to get scared. You were tied to a bed. Now you were full on thrashing and your heart was beating so fast. After a few moments the dark room filled with bright light, light that made you close your eyes before they got used to the light. Seeing who stood in the hallway made you oh so relieved. It was Zell and Beau, but the relive only lasted for a few seconds until you realized where you were. You were in Beaus basement. You had been there a few times, at least enough times to know that everything remained the same except for the bed you were chained to. It was a king sized bed, with you tied up in the middle. “Zell? Beau? What’s going on?” You asked, voice shaking slightly. Zell only responded to this by chuckling deeply, you could see Beau tense up behind him, ears going back out of...fear? “Why, my dear Y/N. You see last night our friend Beau snuck into my house in hopes of scaring me off of you. That of course didn’t happen” hearing this you let out a audible gasp, he did what. As you looked over at Beau he shrunk down onto his own skin, looking like a cat with its tail between its legs. “No, instead we were gonna fight to the death to see who would have you. But then, I got a better idea. Instead of this relentless fighting, why don’t we just share you!” As Zell said this, something crazy lit up in his eyes, you didn’t like it. “And that’s what we did! I’ve moved into Beaus place and now both me and Beau can keep you to ourselves! Isn’t it great Y/N?!” Zell was quickly approaching you, grabbing a hold of your face, forcing you to look at him. “Don’t you get it Y/N? This way I’ll never have to worry about you leaving me again! I’ve waited for so long to finally feel your touch again, and I’m not gonna let some other 8 residents take up all your attention!” As he said this he laid down on your right side, curling up around your body. Beau was still standing in the doorway, he looked very uncomfortable.
“...why...why me?” You asked, tears now pouring out. “Because we love you, dear Y/N” Zell answered giving you a light peck on the cheek. He looked over to Beau and smirked. “Beau? Are you coming?” Beau flinched a little when Zell said his name. But after a few seconds, he complied and laid down on your left side. You could see Zell move his hand to touch the arm that Beau had wrapped around you.
Zell wasn’t gonna lie, Beau was a cute antelope, very sweet and charming. But the cutest about him was how he thought he had any power in this situation. He found it adorable when he quivered in his presence, poor guy was probably terrified of him. But that’s good. After all, fear is the easiest way of controlling someone. He’d keep him around for a little while, for as long as he could. But make no mistake, if Beau did anything to step out of line, he wouldn’t hesitate to end his life. Meanwhile, you laid in between them, just the other day you were happier than ever to see Zell but now? Now you were terrified of this deer. What had happened to him? This wasn’t the deer you loved.
The deer you loved was dead.
This husk of him, laying next to you was the only thing that remained.

Tagged!
meme and tag by @true-neutral-earth-elf !
oh boy what fresh hell is this! (i’m joking i love filling these even though im sure nobody actually reads my answers 😂 )
Rules: Answer all 25 questions to the best of your ability, then tag 5 other blogs.
#1. Which Primal Source Do you identify most with? Why?
I got the Earth Primal source in the official quiz, but i’m more into the ocean magic just because you can slap a binch with a tidal wave or gently comfort a friend with soft rain
why because i’m a water elemental Scorpio lmao
#2. Elves or Humans?
it’s like asking me to pick between amaya and janai and i’m not about to pick one or the other to love, but when it comes to the actual plot of the show i’m more interested in the elf side of the war. i want to know what they think of the impending conflict at the border, why they pushed out all the humans, why they dont like Aaravos, what they do so their hair is always luscious and shiny??
#3. If you had to choose, would you rather free Runaan from the coin or Aaravos from the mirror?
on one hand Runaan is a paid killer, on the other hand Aaravos did help kill a lot more people just for standing at the door for too long.
#4. Best animal companion?
BAIT BAIT BAIT BAIT BAI
(aarthrapod is super cute too tbh)
#5. Best humanoid companion?
hunhh??? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GREN ?????????????
#6. You can revive one character, who is it and why them?
Viren’s morals, because his kids deserve better.
#7. Otp?
Janai x amaya Aaravos x the outside world Amaya x Gren Amaya x Gren x Corvus Corvus x Crow Master Amaya x Runaan if they’re bisexual, unless one or both are revealed to be exclusively gay in which case i’d want an enemies to friends subplot between them, just two vodka aunt/uncle motherhens protecting their wards #8. Unpopular opinion?
Viren is a great character and I pray Harrow is NOT in the bird
#9. Favorite headcanon?
Janai is also deaf or knows a version of sign language Amaya can work with
#10. Best siblings pair?
THE ONE BRAIN CELL SQUAD (soren and claudia)
I also kinda wish we got more Sarai and Amaya interactions
#11. Who’s your Queen?
FAREEDA ♥♥♥♥
#12. Lujanne offers you ice cream, how do you respond?
“oh, worm?” (i’d probably eat it i wanna know what worms taste like tbh)
#13. Be honest, do you have the guts to use dark magic?
i talk a big game but i’m gonna have to admit that i probably don’t have the guts for dark magic. i’m okay with personally preparing a catch i’m going to eat, but to use living things to make my hair glossy or someone’s armor especially fab doesn't sound like a sustainable business practice to me.
#14. Who’s best elf? Why?
AARAVOS HE HAS A STAR ON HIS NECK AND THE VOICE OF A THOUSAND COMFY SLEEPS
#15. Hot brown morning potion or leaf flavored water?
don’t do uncle Iroh dirty like that HOT BROWN MORNING POTION
#16. Best use for magic?
taking broken eggshells out of Gren’s birthday cake
#17. Who wins the best hair award?
that one moonshadow elf in the first episode waaay in the background riding a feathery horse
#18. Viren; misguided, evil, or actually the good guy?
i dont know what happened after the “on your knees” scene but he changed (as foreshadowed by him saying goodbye to Claudia) so i’m not labeling him as any of those things until we know why he’s doing what he’s doing.
After talking to a few Viren fans i realized that not everyone hears the manipulation in his voice when he talks about the throne, and wanting to protect  Katolis, and loving humanity itself. i’m not saying those fans are wrong, or that they’re missing a point, but it’s possible that the voice acting is just so good and some of us are so jaded by our own past experiences that we don’t believe him even when he’s telling the truth.
#19. Would you rather fly with Phoe-Phoe, hike with Corvus, sail with Villads, or stay home with Opeli?
CORVUS CORVUS CORVUS CO
#20. Who’s your crush?
.......................... Gren ♥
#21. You’re being chased by a cotton candy hippo; reaction?
apologize to my dentist and then eat the entire whole hippo in one go (it’s a dream you cant stop me)
#22. Choose a champion.
Gren and Aaravos’ voice actors. (seriously if any of those two decide to make ASMR content where they speak kindly with no awkward whispering i will pay hard earned starving-artist money just to fall asleep to them)
#23. Favorite scene? Why?
any scene with Gren interpreting for Amaya, Gren looking at Amaya, Amaya hugging Gren, Amaya beating the crap out of Janai and then getting manhandled in return let’s jUST ANY SCENE WITH GREN AND/OR AMAYA IN IT OK
#24. Should Soren be a poet?
he should! “dragon smash boy, say the good words now” cracks me up every time i think of it and let’s be honest i think about it a LOT considering it’s been six months since the last season dropped
#25. Soggy Socks. (No more context)
dishonor on your cowgaroo!
i tag the 5 peoples: @beautifulterriblequeen​ @ame-draco​ @tenspontaneite @klashta-neali @misterartist

Portal/Borderlands: The Girlfriend (Part Two)
Synopsis: Maybe she’ll let him hug her this time.  He’s got a good reason…
AO3 || deviantart || fanfiction.net || Wattpad
Sometimes GLaDOS got sad.
Now, Claptrap got sad all the time.  Like, constantly.  It was like… a weird feature or something.  But he had nothing on her. When he got sad, he just cried for a while and then he was okay. Mostly.  But GLaDOS didn’t do that.  She just kinda… pretended she wasn’t sad.  It was so easy to tell she was, though. She didn’t get mad at him more often, or tell him to talk less, or really change all that much.  But you could just feel it when she got sad. And it was everywhere in the facility, because she was everywhere, and really, it was kinda a downer.  He wasn’t gonna complain about it.  That would be the total wrong thing to do.  But he really wished he could just ask her what was wrong and that she would just tell him.  Because he knew if he did, she wouldn’t, and then what.  Then what did he do?  For now, he was just doing his best to pretend along with her. He wasn’t sure if he was succeeding, but he was trying.  Kinda summed up their relationship, to be honest.
This time, though, was really bad.  She was kinda making him sad just to be near her, and that sucked.  He really, really needed to do something about it before he started getting all upset, because when that happened he really screwed things up.  So one afternoon where he thought he could handle it okay and also she hadn’t really said anything to him since yesterday or the day before, he said, “Babe, you wanna… tell me what’s going on?”
The way she looked at him kinda suggested she’d forgotten he was even there.  Which was typical.  Not with her, just in general.  He didn’t have much hope of her actually answering the question, because she usually didn’t, so she really took him by surprise when she said, “I had a friend once.”
Oh.  Okay.  Uh… what did he do now?  He’d totally expected her to just ignore him.  “What… happened to them?”
“I sent her away,” GLaDOS said.  “I wasn’t very good to her.”
“Why not?”
She didn’t answer for long enough that it made him anxious.  Come to think of it, that was kinda a weird question to ask somebody.  Especially somebody you didn’t really know that well. He’d like to know her better, she was just so hard to talk to sometimes. ‘cause she did stuff like this. Mentioned something and then refused to talk about it.  Why do that if you didn’t wanna talk about it? Finally she said, without looking at him,
“It’s a long story.”
And that was bad news why? “I got nothin’ but time!”
That was when the staring started and he had to try very hard not to back away from her.  He wasn’t sure where he was planning on going, exactly, but someplace very far away would be good.  Back to Pandora probably wasn’t even far enough.  It really sucked when she did this.
Something that was really tough about being her boyfriend was that he could never tell what she was thinking.  He, like most of his product line – and most people on Pandora in general – was pretty open with his thoughts.  Sometimes to the point of actually voicing every single one of them!  But GLaDOS… not only did she not do that, she also didn’t gesture.  Probably because she didn’t have arms.  But that wasn’t the point.  The point was that she was staring at him, and thinking, and he had no idea if they were bad thoughts or good ones.  When she did this scrutinising thing he really did start to wonder if having a brain that big was worth it.  Sure, it made you smarter, but if being smarter meant you had to think about every decision a zillion times, what was the point?
“You know what,” she said finally, long after he’d given up hope of an actual answer this time, “all right.  Let’s do it.”
“Do… do what.”
“I’m going to tell you the story.”
Story?  What story?  Oh, right. The reason she’d sent the friend away she hadn’t been nice to.  It was a little weird that she’d need to tell a story to explain that, but hey.  He had nothing better to do.
“And Claptrap.”
“Yeah?”
“I know your mind is prone to wandering, but do your best to pay attention.  I only want to go over it once.”
Oof.  Sounded like this story was made of pure suckage.  But okay.  He would do his absolute best! though what that happened to be today was yet to be known.  “You got it, babe.”
It wasn’t even that hard to pay attention, though, because the story was just plain wild.  And a little confusing, since she kept mentioning things he didn’t know anything about.  Like what the heck was an Intelligence Dampening Sphere?  For a minute he thought it must have been some sort of pill you took, like the kind that made parties better, but it turned out to be some kind of robot?  A stupid robot that was also kinda smart?  There was also something about neurotoxin, and a cake dispensary, and a turkey leg hanging on a rope from the ceiling, and he was having trouble following not because he wasn’t paying attention, but because none of it made any sense!  Especially not the gun that shot holes!  Without using bullets!  What sort of gun did that?  Rockets, yes.  Acid, yes. Swords?  Heck yeah!  But holes?
He was doing his best to not interrupt, he really was, but then she got to the part where the stupid-but-smart robot moved her into a potato, which really did sound like torture right there, and then she said after the dumbass smashed her into a bottomless pit a bird started eating her.  Which was just the last straw.  Why would a bird be noshing on a computer?
Oh.  Oh, right.  Wasn’t there some other kind of potato?  It was something to do with French fries…  “Wait!  Wait. Are you talking about an actual potato?  Like, the vegetable?”
“Is there another kind?”
“Well, sorta,” Claptrap said.  “On Pandora you call a really crappy computer a potato.  Y’know.  ‘cause it can’t do anything.  Just sorta sits there.”
GLaDOS looked over at the wall.
“In that case,” she said solemnly, “I seem to be the most optimised piece of software in existence.”
Damn.  What a woman.
The story didn’t get any clearer after that, though.  There were a bunch of weird gels, and some hilarious dude that GLaDOS seemed particularly fond of, for some reason, and to top it all off she’d almost ended up on the moon. “Is he still up there?” Claptrap asked, having lost track of where the IDS had ended up.  She nodded once.
“As far as I know.  Unless some passing aliens decided to pick him up, which would be…”  She was looking up at the ceiling suddenly, and Claptrap checked it out himself but there was nothing there.  Other than the ceiling.  “Oh.”
“Huh?” Claptrap asked, feeling like he’d missed something.  Was she looking through the ceiling?
“That is a story for another time.”
She had a story about aliens?  Well, okay. So did he.  Lots of ‘em.  Also, maybe her story was just about him, since he was kinda an alien at the moment.  Did robots count as aliens?  Especially robots that were kinda just like variations on the robots they already had? When GLaDOS talked about computer stuff, he understood her just fine.  Was Earth a parallel version of Pandora?  Or was Pandora a parallel version of Earth!  Did that mean there were Vaults here too?  Wait.  She had said Earth was the only inhabited planet in this solar system.  On Pandora even the moon was inhabited, so –
“Anyway,” GLaDOS was saying. “There you have it.”
Have… what?  He’d forgotten what they’d been talking about.
“It’s been one year to that day.”
To the day of… darn it! That sure made him look good.  She’d actually told him something for once and he already didn’t remember what the point of it had been.
“She’s probably dead by now,” GLaDOS said, subdued enough it kinda worried him.  “There’s not much out there and this place isn’t exactly accessible.”
Oh right!  Her friend!  Phew. He thanked his lucky stars for the fact that she’d kept talking.  “I don’t know, babe.  If there’s one thing I know about humans, it’s that they’re super resilient.”
“The ones here really aren’t.”
Well, he didn’t actually know any of them, so maybe she was right on that one.  Meant he’d almost run out of things to say about this, though.  “Well, if she’s alive and she ever comes back, I think you’ll get along great!” Claptrap declared.  “I think you’re a great friend.”
She looked at him with her optic narrowed a little bit.  She didn’t believe him, huh.  Probably she’d figured out already that his opinion wasn’t worth that much.  In his defense, he wasn’t really programmed to dispense advice!  “Hey. Did you want a hug?”
She sighed in exasperation and turned away from him.  “Not now, Claptrap.”
What?  What had he done now?  Ohhhhhh. Right.  He’d been bugging her about that.  “Not for me!” he protested.  “For you! It’s just something you do to help someone feel better!”
“That doesn’t even make any sense,” GLaDOS snapped. “What in the world is that even going to achieve?”
“It was just a suggestion! Yeesh.  I’m just trying to help.  Okay, sure!  I don’t know how!  But hey! I am trying!”
“That’s true,” GLaDOS said after a moment.  “All right. I suppose it can’t make things worse.  What do I have to do, exactly?”
Wait, what?  She wanted him to now?  He looked her up and down real quick.  Huh. How was he gonna hug her?  She was just way too big.  The only part of her he could even reach was her core, so… that was gonna have to do. “Just uh… just come down here enough that I can do it over your eye.”
So she did that, only she wasn’t far enough down and he was gonna have to give himself the extra few inches and hope he was able to keep from leaning on her.  He didn’t want to get his wheel on her face, but she wasn’t giving him a lot to work with.  He didn’t know if she was being difficult or if she just thought he was taller than he actually was.  Probably both.  Then he imagined what taking a deep breath might sound like and just went for it.
It was just as nice as touching her had been, but times like thirty.  Having his arms full of beautiful warm supercomputer was amazing.  He was such a lucky guy.  Oh, but wait!  This wasn’t him getting lucky.  This was him helping. So he did his best to concentrate on helpful thoughts.  It was hard, but he was doing it.
She didn’t have to be sad about her friend!  She’d come back one day!  Well, none of his friends ever had, but she was so much better than him that of course her friend would.  She’d come back and then GLaDOS would have her friend, and maybe Claptrap could get a new friend too! and everything would be fine and okay because friends!
It wasn’t hard to tell when she wanted him to let go, even though he really didn’t want to.  He never got to hug anybody.  Probably because they were worried he’d start getting a little frisky on them, which he did, sometimes, but there wasn’t much he could do about that.  And it wasn’t like anyone was volunteering to fix that little problem.  
“I didn’t expect that to help,” GLaDOS said after a moment.  “And you know what?”
It totally hadn’t.
“It did,” she answered herself, instantly skyrocketing his mood to wonderful heights.  “I’m not sure why, but… it did.”
It was just about the worst time ever for him to find that hilarious, and it was also too late for him to do much more than turn around and do his best to pretend he hadn’t found it funny.  Which probably wasn’t going to work.  Not only was GLaDOS not deaf, she was definitely not stupid.
“Are you laughing because I said ‘but’,” GLaDOS said, and even though he definitely was now he still said, “No,” as clearly as possible. Which was… not at all, because he was doing a really bad job of not laughing.
“Are you three years old?”
“I could be,” Claptrap said, and she moved back enough that he guessed she hadn’t expected that answer. “It’s really hard to tell once you’ve been reset a few dozen times!  And anyway! It was funny!”
“No, it wasn’t.”
“Yeah!  It was!”
“It really wasn’t.”
“A little bit?”
“Maybe a little bit.”
He wouldn’t ask for more than that!  Especially since that could totally have gone in a different direction.  Sometimes girls just kept getting mad about stuff like that.  
“Now,” GLaDOS said, “if you don’t mind shutting up for a while, I have a lot to think about.”
It was kinda ironic for her to say that, considering she’d been doing all the talking.  He wasn’t gonna bring that up, though.  She’d let him hug her and he wasn’t gonna push it any farther than that.  “Very well!  I shall beat it for now.  But have no fear, because – “  He cut himself off because she had looked away from him suddenly, and he was pretty sure he knew exactly why.
“You’re not allowed to laugh!  You said it wasn’t funny, remember!”
“It isn’t,” she said, very unconvincingly.  
“Suuuuure it’s not. That’s why you totally aren’t trying not to laugh because I said ‘but’ just now.”
“You’re always a little ridiculous, but you’re being particularly so right now.”
“That’s okay!” Claptrap said.  “I’d be so bored if everything was all serious all the time.  It wouldn’t be any fun!”
“Fun,” GLaDOS echoed, in a distant kinda way, and when Claptrap looked up at her she’d turned away from him a little.
“Yeah. Fun.  What, you never heard of it?  They didn’t teach you that during ‘Mad Science for Lady Robots?’”
“No,” she said, as though she’d actually taken the question seriously, which… she did that sometimes.  And when she started doing that, she was definitely not in the mood to have him around.  Before he’d really gotten to the exit he heard her move and then she said, “Where are you going?”
“Uh…”  Where was he going?  Oh, right. It wasn’t the where that mattered, it was the why.  “I was just gonna leave you be for a bit.  You said you were gonna think, remember?”
“All right,” was all she said to that, and it didn’t really make him any less confused but that was probably all he was gonna get.  “And… Claptrap.”
“Yeah?” he said, turning around.  Maybe she didn’t want him to take off after all?  That’d be awesome!
“Thank you for the hug,” she told him, and she sounded so serious he was almost concerned. It wasn’t that big a deal, was it?  “It was nice.”
He straightened himself as much as he could.  “Anytime, babe!  And I mean that literally.  Anytime.  I’m always up for that.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said, and he had to say if she decided to be serious about that he would definitely not argue about it.

Nap Date ~ 12
Wedding
Tumblr media
Today was the day. Finally the day that Shawn and Y/n confessed their love in front of all their friends and families.
She stood in a white dress, tearful eyes as he poured his heart out to her.
He stood in a black tux, holding her hands as she poured her heart out.
But now the wedding is over, and the reception is being cleaned up. He is being kicked out by his mother.
“Go, leave please.” Karen pushes her son out of the ballroom.
“Look we found him, now leave.” Her bridesmaids push Y/n into Shawn.
Her heels catch the rug on the ground and she starts to fall. Shawn rushes, pushing his arms out, catching her before she can hit the ground.
“Shawn?” She asks looking up at him, the look of horror she just felt from almost falling still in her eyes.
“No I’m superman.” He grins.
“You’re my superman.” She smiles brightly at him.
“Forever.” He winks, standing her up right.
“So I’m being told that we have to leave.” She says looking over at her bridesmaids that are cleaning up the reception hall.
“Yeah me too.” He says looking over at his mom who is glaring at him.
“I feel like I haven’t seen you at all tonight.” She sighs leaning against him.
“You’ve got me now, and for the rest of our lives. By ourselves.” He whispers in her ear.
“That sounds like heaven.” She smiles up at him.
“Good, are you ready?” He asks digging his keys out of his pocket.
“I gotta pee, and get out of this dress.” She says looking down at her white dress.
“Shawn take her back to the house, they just closed the bathroom. Change and leave the dress on Shawn’s old bed, I’ll make sure it gets taken care of.” Karen says handing him a key to the house.
“Thanks mom, ready babe?” He smiles.
“How far is the house from here?”
“Like 10 maybe 15 minutes?” Shawn shrugs.
“Okay.” She smiles.
He helps her out of the venue and into his jeep, smiling as she tugs all of her dress into the jeep.
“Hey.” He says staring at her, taking her hand once he gets in himself.
“Hey.” She smiles.
“You are so damn pretty.” He whispers kissing her knuckles.
“Stop.” She blushes and looks away.
“Look at me.” He pulls her hand over to him. She leans over the console. “God you are gorgeous.” He says staring into her eyes.
“You are too sweet.” She whispers back.
“I love you, so damn much. You have no idea.” He bites his bottom lip.
“Hey.” She grabs hold of his chin. “Let me do that.” She smirks and his eyes go wide. He leans in and kisses her lips, breathing her in. She takes his bottom lip between her teeth, until a knock wraps on the window causing them to jump apart.
“Fucks sake.” Shawn mumbles, unrolling his window. “What?” He asks.
“Look you guys have got to leave or you’ll miss your flight..” Geoff says handing the tickets over.
“Jesus, it’s like you guys are kicking us onto the plane. Can I not kiss my wife for a second.” Shawn sasses.
She sits there grinning like a lunatic, waving at Geoff before he walks away. Shawn rolls the window back up and looks over at her, noticing her smile.
“What?” He asks, laughing at her.
“You’re wife?” She smiles wider, if possible.
“Come ‘ere.” He grins kissing her again. “My wife.” He mumbles against her lips, causing her to smile again.
“My husband.” She mumbles back.
“God that sounds so good rolling off your tongue.” He groans pulling away and driving back to his childhood home. Holding her hand the whole car ride back, smiling at the thought of her by his side for the rest of his life.
“Shawn?” She looks over at him, catching his attention.
“Yeah?” He asks looking over at her a little bit.
“I really have to pee, can you go any faster?” She asks with pleading eyes.
“Shit sorry. Lil distracted.” He says pushing down on the gas pedal.
“With what?” She questions turning towards him, resting her elbows on the console.
“You, over there, looking like that.” He smirks.
“Cheesy Mendes.” She laughs, turning back to the front.
“No it’s truth, Mendes.” He says smiling at her. She looks over and her face falls.
“Aw shit, you mean I’m a Mendes now too?” She teases. He laughs and shakes his head.
“You’re mean.” He laughs, parking his jeep on the street. He gets out and runs over to help her and her big ass dress out. “Hey.” He pulls her back to him, pushing her against the jeep. “You’re a Mendes, for the rest of your life.” He cups her cheeks in his hands.
“Good, that’s what I want.” She stares into his eyes.
“Good.” He nods. He leans in and kisses her. She ducks his kisses walking away. “Hey.” He calls.
“Shawn I have to pee.” She whines.
“Damn it I keep forgetting.” He says rushing to the door, grabbing her hand and pulling her with him.
“Ahh Shawn.” She giggles as he fumbles with the keys. He finally unlocks the door, letting her in.
She rushes to the bathroom and closes the door as he walks around to the kitchen, grabbing a muffin and taking a bite.
“Ohh give me a bite.” She says grabbing his arm. He holds his hand up, so she can’t reach it.
“I thought you were peeing.”
“I need help with my dress, give me a bite I’m starving.” She glares at him. He smiles and gives her a bite, pushing her back to the bathroom. She turns around and let’s him start to untie the corset of her dress. She leans her head back and opens her mouth for another bite. He lets her have another bite and goes back to untying her dress.
“Hurry!” She bounces on her toes.
“Sorry, I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing.” He says trying to get it undone. “What the fuck.” He grumbles starting to pull on lose ties. Finally he grabs the right one and pulls open the back of her dress. It drops to the ground and he helps her step out of it. Leaving her in her slip.
“Thank god.” She pushes him out.
“Babe did you bring a change of clothes.”
“Shit I think I forgot them at the venue.” She calls, washing her hands. “Can I borrow something?” She asks opening the door.
“I think you can just wear that.” He grins, wiggling his eyebrows at her.
“Shut up.” She hits his chest. “What about you, gonna wear your tux on the plane.”
“I’ll change.” He nods following her up to his room. “I’m not sure what I have in here still, if you don’t find anything just steal something from Liyah, we’ll explain later.” He says grabbing his clothes and walking to the bathroom.
“You can change in front of me you know.” She says leaning against his closet door.
“I know, but you’re not the only one that has to pee.” He winks at her, closing the door.
She starts rummaging through his closet, pulling his green flannel out and in search of pants.
Sadly he doesn’t have anything that will fit her so she wanders over to Aaliyah’s room. She grabs a pair of black yoga pants and leaves a note on her desk to explain.
She changes quickly borrowing a pair of Aaliyah’s Nike’s.
“Hey.” She meets him in the hall, as they both exit the rooms at the same time.
“That’s my flannel.” He smiles.
“Yeah you said I could borrow something.” She says pointing at his door.
“That’s my favorite one, it looks good on my favorite person.”
“Jesus you’re so cheesy.” She pushes his shoulder.
“We gotta go.” He says taking her hand and leading her back to the jeep. He locks up and she texts Aaliyah letting her know that she stole her shoes and pants.
“Wanna stop by McDonald's?” He asks driving away.
“Yes please, I’m so hungry.” She says leaning her head back.
“We paid so much for everyone to eat tonight and we didn’t even get to eat anything.”
“I know. The only cake I had was what you smashed in my face.” She smiles at him.
“That was pretty good.” He laughs placing a hand on her thigh.
“It was so rude, it went up my nose.”
“You got me back, it was in my ear.” He laughs.
“I know, there’s still some there.” She reaches over and wipes her thumb over his ear, collecting the frosting on her finger. “Gross.” She says looking for a place to clean her thumb off.
**
They’re seated on the plane, she’s resting her head on his shoulder and he’s got a hand on her thigh.
“You should wear flannel more often.” He whispers.
“Why?” She laughs at his randomness.
“You look good in flannel.” He shrugs. “Especially mine.”
“You think I look good in all of your clothes.” She looks up at him.
“You do.” He smiles.
“Can you believe that we got married today.” She whispers resting her head back on his shoulder. He pulls her a little closer.
“I know, you’re my wife now. Not just my girlfriend but my wife.”
“I could get used to hearing that.”
“My wife.” He smiles, kissing the top of her head.
“Oh hi, this is my husband Shawn.” She laughs sitting up to look at him.
“Meet my wife, Y/n.” He smiles looking at her.
“Y/n Mendes.” She points at him.
“Mhmm.” He nods smiling.
“Shawn and Y/n Mendes.” He says out loud.
“Mr and Mrs Mendes.” She grins.
“That sounds so good.” He leans forward kissing her.
“What am I wearing tonight?” She asks pulling away.
“You’ll see.” He smiles.
“Are you wearing your boxers?” She asks giggling. He rolls his eyes.
“Yes, I like em.” He nods.
“Good.” She laughs.
“Oh god, I didn’t realize it and walked around to grab my phone and Andrew and Geoff were there and when I walked out they laughed so hard.” He says leaning his head back.
“Oh god.” She laughs, hiding her face into his shoulder.
“I turned around and was like ‘what?’ you know I was already nervous and them laughing at me didn’t help. Andrew waved me off but Geoff stood up, getting another drink and goes, ‘Y/n really does own that ass huh?’ I was so confused. That’s when I remembered you picked out my boxers and I ran back to the room to look in the mirror.”
“I thought it was funny.” She laughs looking up at him.
“Yeah totally, walking around in my boxers with ‘Y/n owns this ass.’ on the butt. Real funny.” He hides his laugh.
“I couldn’t help it.” She tries to contain her giggles. “I was just gonna get you regular boxers with like a kiss mark on the hip but then I saw the option to make your own saying and couldn’t help myself.”
“Thanks for that.” He grins, still trying to hold back his own laugh.
“I mean it’s true.” She shrugs.
“It’s very true.” Shawn finally laughs.
They finally contain their laughs and stare at each other.
“God I got so lucky.” Shawn shakes his head. She snorts and looks away. “Did you just snort?” He asks laughing.
“I mean were married now, you’re trapped, I can completely be me.” She smiles.
“Were you hiding things from me?” He playfully glares at her.
“Shawn, we live together. I think you’ve seen everything you can see.” She says poking his cheek.
“I’m so excited for the rest of my life.” He smiles, kissing her nose.
“Let’s get started.” She smiles leaning up to kiss him.

Sweet
For prompt #20 from @pillarspromptsweekly​, Gift. Went with Emiri this time. Spoilers for Kana’s personal quest, if anyone’s still working through that. :)
They were all quiet as they trudged up the steps out of Od Nua, even Kana, which was unusual. Especially Kana, which was downright unnerving. Emiri couldn’t really blame him; their hunt for Gabrannos and the Tanvii ora Toha had ended badly. And honestly, that felt like an understatement on par with saying her pirate masters had been unkind.
It wasn’t often you found your hopes and dreams literally smashed into teeny tiny pieces, though, so she struggled to figure the best response. Should she give him space for a while? Offer to listen? Try to make it better or let him work though on his own? Kana had been so nice to her since they begun traveling together, she wanted to help him in return. Emiri was so lost in thought she tripped over the last step up into the dungeons. Kana instinctively--wordlessly--grabbed her arm to steady her, letting go as soon as she had her balance.
“Thank you,” she smiled, but he just nodded, clearly lost in thought. Who are you, and what have you done with Kana? The thought was a sarcastic one, but one she almost endorsed.
The waiting group of Leaden Key assassins on the other side of the door were just the icing on the cake of this truly awful afternoon. Emiri very nearly skipped trying to talk them down, but knew she’d second guess herself for weeks--maybe this group would have been the exception--if she didn’t at least attempt diplomacy. 
They were not the exception. Even tired as they were, Emiri’s party made short work of the Leaden Key when they attacked. She stooped to search the bodies for anything useful, and by the time she straightened, Kana had slipped away. Emiri sighed and fiddled anxiously with her bracelet. Giving him space it is, then. Apparently she’d have to think of something else to cheer him up.
                                          <<>>   <<<>>>   <<>>
She had plenty of time to do her thinking; they opted to spend a few days at Caed Nua, recovering from their venture into the Paths, before they resumed adventuring. It took until the third of those few days, but Emiri finally had an idea.
One that led to her being caught in the kitchen by Edér, covered in flour and squinting at the recipe as she attempted to puzzle out the cook’s spidery handwriting.
“Do I wanna know?” he asked with a laugh. Emiri wrinkled her nose and flicked flour at him.
 “I’m baking. Or... trying to. I’m having trouble reading the recipe,” she admitted sheepishly.
“Need some help?” Edér offered.
“Not if I’m pulling you away from something. I can manage. I think.”
“Nah, I’m free as a bird,” he said with a smile. He picked up the recipe and whistled. “No wonder you’re havin’ trouble reading this. Any particular reason you’re makin’ cookies? Or didja just want a snack?”
Emiri shook her head. “They’re for Kana. I wanna cheer him up. But I’m doubling the recipe, so there should be enough for everyone to have a couple.”
Edér nodded slowly. “Good idea. Poor guy’s takin’ the mess with Gan- Gabrannos an’ that tablet real hard.”
“I would be, too,” Emiri shrugged. “He’d been looking for that for a year, for it to be crumbled dust in the end had to hurt.”
“‘Miri, if you’re doublin’, you need more butter,” Edér pointed out.
“Oh. Whoops.” She added the butter. “Good catch.”
“What I’m here for,” he grinned. “So you’re just tryin’ to cheer Kana up, huh? This isn’t ‘cause you’re sweet on him or anything?”
Emiri stared adamantly at the mixing bowl. “Yes.” then hastily clarified, “to the first, not the second. We’re friends and I wanna make him feel better. Definitely not sweet on him.”
Liar, laughed her brain as he cheeks burned and she thanked the gods Edér didn’t possess her abilities.
Still didn’t look like he believed her, though. “Sure. And cook’s alright with you takin’ over the kitchen?”
Emiri nodded and huffed hair out of her eyes. “I mean, it’s my keep. An’ we don’t have any visiting dignitaries to impress, so she said I can have it as long as I need. “
“Mm.” Edér watched her for a minute. “Don’t take this the wrong way, ‘Miri, but is this your first time baking?”
She grimaced and shot him a sheepish smile. “What gave me away?”
He pointed to the small measuring pitcher, white dusted along the rim. “That’s not what you use for flour. Also I know the recipe says a pinch of nutmeg, but that just means only a little. Not literally a pinch.” He grinned and glanced at her hands. “Though I guess you can just stick to a pinch, actually. It’ll work out.” A chuckle. “Maybe the person who wrote this recipe was an aumaua.”
“There are a lot in Rauatai,” Emiri giggled. “And we do love our sweets.” She resumed mixing the batter. “So... how do you know so much about baking?”
Edér shrugged, eyes twinkling mischievously as he rubbed a small glob of batter off her halo. “Man’s gotta eat.”
“So you mean you’ve been letting me argue with Sagani for months about actually cooking food before we eat it, while the whole time you knew how to cook?!” She flicked more flour at him.
“You’re assumin’ my cooking would be better than the alternative,” he pointed out with a grin. “Maybe I’m only good enough for myself.”
“Somehow I doubt that, but I’ll let it slide if you start melting the chocolate.”
“Deal.”
<<>> <<<>>> <<>>
In the end, the cookies were made largely without incident, aside from the first batch melding into one big cookie thanks to insufficient spacing. Emiri just laughed, separated them as they cooled, and kept that batch back to share. The rest were all spaced appropriately and turned out fine. Once they’d cooled, she piled half the cookies in a basket and went looking for Kana.
He was not easy to find. His room, the library, the adra pillars in the courtyard, all checked to no avail. She finally found him as the sun was starting to set, sitting by the fountain and staring pensively at the sun’s reflection in the water.
“Y’know, that’s almost as bad as looking at the sun itself,” she commented, sitting next to him and running her fingers through the water. “‘Specially when it’s this still.”
“Did you need something, Emiri?” He sounded tired. Defeated. She hated it.
“Actually, i brought you something. As a, um, gift.” Her face warmed ever so slightly and she prayed it wasn’t enough to be noticed as she set the basket between them. “I remembered how much you like the ones from my birthday, and, well, these are different, but still chocolate, so hopefully you’ll like them, too.”
Kana’s lips twitched in the barest, weakest attempt at a smile. “Chocolate is always good. What prompted this?”
Emiri shrugged and played with her hair. “Hoping to cheer you up, partially.”
“And what’s the rest of it?” he asked, finally looking up from the water.
“I just... you’ve been so sweet to me since... since we met,” she began, inexplicably nervous. What are you afraid of? It’s Kana, for crying out loud.  “Helping me learn to read, the dancing lessons, always being there when I needed to talk. I appreciate all of it, so much.” She leaned forward and rested her hand on his arm. “I wanted to do something sweet for you in return. Cookies are perhaps a little more literally sweet than I intended, but I’m also willing to listen, if you want to talk. I wish there had been more we could do. Or that just finding it was enough.”
“In a way... it is,” Kana admitted, taking a cookie and staring at it thoughtfully. He traced one fingertip over its surface as he spoke. “It’s enough for me that it existed. That it was here, once. But... I spent so long looking for it as proof; something I could take back to the lore college, and for that it’s as worthless as empty parchment.”
Emiri was quiet for a moment. She knew that feeling, hope answered with nothing. Finally, though, she squeezed his arm and said, “Don’t think about it like that, then. Think of everything we learned looking for it. We were the first people in two thousand years to go that far down into Od Nua. That’s something, isn’t it?”
“...Yes,” Kana said slowly, after a pause. He actually met her eye with the hesitant beginnings of a smile. “It is a great feat, isn’t it?” He sighed, the smile faltering. “It would be greater if we’d found what what we sought.”
“True,” Emiri agreed, shifting to trail her fingers through the fountain again. “But you must’ve been on the right path for the Leaden Key to come after you like they did. The threat their leader tossed at us; that we wouldn’t find anything because we’d be dead. To me, that means there is something to find. Or, at least, they think there is. I think that’s worth pursuing, don’t you?”
“Normally I’d agree with you, but I had it wrong.” Kana sighed, gaze returning to the distorted reflection in the water. “There was no book of virtues. Nothing to advocate peace. So even if we are on the right path, as you think, what waits at the end?”
“Answers, hopefully,” she said with a chuckle, flicking an arc of water over the grass and watching the droplets sparkle orange, pink, or purple in the sunset’s light. “For both of us. But there’s only one way to find out. Assuming you plan to stick around?” The possibility he might not only hit her as she said the words, and Emiri fought down a brief surge of panic.
“Of course,” he nodded with certainty. “After everything you’ve done for me, I owe you that much.”
“Kana, I want you to stay because you want to, not because you feel you have to.” Emiri dried her hand on her pants and picked at a hangnail.
“Emiri.” Kana waited until she looked at him and smiled. It was tired, still a little sad around the edges, but it was a smile. “I’m staying because I want to. To help a very good friend.”
“See, this is what I’m talking about,” she muttered, grinning. “You’re so sweet. Hence, cookies.” She gestured at the basket. “That I made myself, by the way.”
Kana examined the one in his hand. “Was that meant as a warning?”
Emiri scowled playfully at his teasing tone and poked his shoulder. “I will push you into this fountain.”
He laughed. Gods, she’d missed his laugh, for the few days it had been absent.  “Please don’t. I’m sure they’re delicious. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Emiri fidgeted with her bracelet for a moment, rubbing her thumb over the beads.
“Are you certain you didn’t need anything from me?” Kana asked as they both stood. Emiri might have a mild level of self-illumination, but as darkness fell it was still advisable to take their conversation indoors.
She matched his smile with one of her own. “I’m good.”
“One last question,” he began around a mouthful of cookie as they made their way inside Brighthollow. “Do I have to share?”
Emiri giggled and closed the door behind them. “Only if you want to. I made extra. Those are all yours.”
“Excellent.” Kana winked and handed her a cookie before heading for his room in a noticeably better mood.
 Emiri caught Edér watching from his own doorway and flashed him a victorious smile. Mission accomplished. Thank you. She tried not to think about the knowing twinkle in his eye as she made her way to her own room.

My OC
I FINALLY DID MY OC SUCKAS!
I decided to use mew-poo’s 100 OC asks, so thank you mew-poo!
I swear, I’m not stealing them!
Name: Veil Hagen Halvorsen (To cover, pasture, and guardian)
Home: Einn-Berg (Alone mountain)
1. What do they smell like?
A lot of lotion from Bath & Body Works (anything marshmallow or pumpkin), some sweat, and very faintly her past meal.
2. What is their voice like? It’s a mix between Yellow Diamond (Steven Universe) and Amethyst (Steven Universe)
3. What is their biggest motivator? Her village elder. He always made her feel safe and aided 
4. What is their most embarrassing memory? Veil one time decided to be a show off to the other children in the marketplace by doing a flip in full armor. She did the flip correctly, but she ended up plummeting into the fountain filled with dirty well water.
5. How do they deal with/react to pain? She gets angry but will also cry, promptly getting angry again and try not to cry as she tends to her wounds.
6. What do they like to wear? Veil likes to wear longer clothes if she’s not in her armor. She lives in the cold, so it makes a lot of sense. Trenchcoats coming down to her ankles, turtlenecks, joggers, etc.
7. Which of their relationships have impacted them most positively? It was all of her relationships in general. All of her boyfriends and girlfriends all had the ‘I don’t give a shit’ attitude and it rubbed off on her. She grew stronger from these and she never cared much about negativity pointed towards her.
8. What’s the weirdest thing they’ve ever eaten? She ate an entire Naga head one time, eyes, brain and all. Her father brought it home after a large hunt and she was the only one brave enough to eat it amoungst her large family.
9. Describe the way that they sleep. She sprawls out across her mattress, drools a lot, kicks, punches, mutters, the whole shabang.
10. What is their favorite food/kind of food? She enjoys a lot of meat and a lot of sweet things. Mostly sweet things. She can make a bakery hide in shame.
11. What do they feel most insecure about? She tends to feel a little bad about her weight. Like I mentioned, she loved sweet things, so she would feel a little bad about herself if her armor had to be reforged. Also her anger issues. She’s brash and aggressive and sassy, so he doesn’t like it if people jump to conclusions and think she’s just an asshole all the time (like some anons out there, I wonder who they are :o )
12. How do they like to dress? Long clothes, even in the heat. Fuck Lestallum’s officers asking and begging her to change into shorts or something. Long clothes are life. She also has some clothes that are hide and fur. She has a nice cloak made of white coeurl fur and bleached behemoth hide she likes to wear.
13. How do they react to feelings of guilt? She stays quiet and lulls over what made her feel guilty. She stays in the darkest and coldest armor she can put on, especially her helm.
14. How do they react to/deal with betrayal? She gets pissed. She will smash apart anything she can get her hands on and smash anything apart. She screams, roars, and growls while breaking down into a pit of tears.
15. What is their greatest achievement? She became the general of her village’s army, always leading her people on hunts and forages.
16. What are they like when they’ve gotten too little sleep? Grumpy and will sleep anywhere. Even on the backside of a Magi-tek engine. The stereotypical black circles show up on her eyes and the grumpiness literally is written on her face in tired wrinkles. 
17. What are they like when they’re drunk? She spills the whole entire factory of beans. You wanna know everything but magically didn’t say a word? Veil will become that old viking who tells you the whole tales of woe. She also slurs and finds fake trees sad.
18. What kind of music do they enjoy? Viking music and metal music.
19. Are they right or left handed? Ambidextrous.
20. Fears? Bugs, uncontrolled fire, dolls, some supernatural creatures i.e. werewolves.

22. Favorite color? Icy colors.
23. Do they collect anything? Armor and weapons. She also somehow accumulated a whole stash of teeth from kills.

26. What is their race/ethnicity? Northern European.

30. Sunrise or sunset? Sunset, because she anticipates the next day.
31. Are they more messy or more organized? Messy, but that is how she stays organized. Whatever she needs, it magically surfaces.
32. Pet peeves? People who get on her about her accent (she gained an accent from talking to an amature jeweler), perfectionists, those who click their gauntlets against metal, people who don’t wash off blood from kills.
33. Do they own any objects of significant personal importance? Her battleaxe she recieved from the elder before he died.
34. Least favorite food? Anything with fish (for the exception of shrimp and prawns).
35. Least favorite color? Pink and yellow.

38. Were they with anybody the last time they cried? The whole village of course.
39. Tell us about one of the times they got injured? She decided to do a local hunt that was closest to the village. Her village never communicates with the outside world, so she basically is the most modern. She decided to take on a quest that had the most amount of gil which turned out to be three behemoths. As she killed the smallest ones, the largest one manages to scratch open her cheek when her helm feel off. She almost went blind in her left eyes.
40. Do they have any scars? Obviously, the scratch marks from the behemoth. It goes from tthe right side of her nose to the lower half of her neck with another claw mark going under her chin and merging in. Otherwise she has brn marks from when her skin came into contact with heated objects or simply dropping a torch on herself or small scratches from hunts or fights.

shance ceo/assistant au
(shiro is 28 and lance is 24)
shiro is a very important and successful ceo, which means he sleeps in black suits and has his hair slicked back all the time + a leather glove to hide his prosthetic hand and avoid questions about his car accident
shiro is in need of a new personal assistant and he hires no one other than lance
the boy has to admit he's pretty intimidated when he meets shiro, the guy just exhales authority and power 
lance is often bragging about himself to his coworkers, cracking jokes and throwing flirts away, people call him unprofessional behind his back, always disapproving of his behavior 
it takes a while but lance gets through that tough exterior, realizing shiro isn't as grumpy as his thick eyebrows and scar make him look. first sign of that is a kitten charm on shiro’s car keys 
shiro, unlike lance's coworkers, is very amused by lance’s sense of humor, eyes glimmering when he makes a joke (he even scoffed once!) 
despite lance’s playful behavior he is actually really smart
sometimes shiro frowns upon the papers on his desk, sulking and messing up his perfectly styled hair. lance glances at the problem and solves it within minutes (shiro was actually surprised when it first happened, lance just shrugged it off smugly) 
shiro always go for lance when he has doubts about something, a sign that he trusts lance’s insights and considers him more than just an assistant
in no time lance is comfortable enough to act like himself, playfully (most of the time) talking back and scolding shiro about his bad habits; working until late hours, skipping lunch, sometimes even pulling an all-nighter at the office 
for some reason shiro doesn’t even threatens to fire him when lance pokes his chest, ordering him to go home and rest, or when he half-sits on his desk when reciting his schedule 
lance is the first person who is bold enough to ask about shiro’s glove, questioning if the scar across his face has something to do with it
“are you hiding something or is it just to add to your mysterious persona?” lance is taken aback when shiro, who had warmed up to him, suddenly cuts him out for the rest of the day 
the next day lance brings a whole bacardi rum cake as a peace offer. “i baked it for you... or my mom did, but i helped!” he gives shiro space, promising to never touch the subject again unless shiro is willing to open up
“i’m surprised you haven’t fired me yet,” “you’re very good at your job,” and you wear amazingly tight pants to work, shiro thinks, and has a beautiful smile, soft hair and eyes full of life
shiro finds out that lance’s casual smiles grow and his blue eyes shine whenever shiro praises his work. shiro starts doing it more often, very pleased with every reaction 
unconsciously their interactions get more intimate; a reassuring hand on shiro’s shoulder, a hand on the small of lance’s back, hands holding as lance pulls shiro out of his office
shiro is invited for a banquet and he's allowed a plus one. his first and only option is lance, but he has no idea how to bring it up without sweating and being awkward 
he calls lance to his office first thing in the morning. all the training he did in front of the mirror worth nothing when the boy was actually there in front of him 
“there’s a banquet his weekend and i would like you to accompany me, if that’s okay with y-” “yes”
“i mean, we both know you wouldn’t survive any social event without me” lance tries to cover his excitement with a smug smirk but shiro notices his fingers gripping tightly onto the tablet in his hands, making shiro’s lips curl up 
upon shiro’s insistence and puppy eyes lance swallows his stubbornness and lets his boss buy him a brand new navy suit, not before shiro promised to never buy lance anything ever again, which the man reluctantly accepted (but didn’t really intend to comply)
“i don’t wanna sound ungrateful but didn’t they have a bigger size of pants?” “i fits you just fine,” shiro offered a smile and lance just shrugged it away, at least his ass looks great
shiro is overly touchy at the event, more than he has ever been, almost possessive; gloved hand always on the small of lance’s back when they walk, on lance’s thigh as he speaks in lance’s ear with sweet honeyed low voice
lance thanks his complexion for not letting the fire he’s feeling inside show on his face
“shirogane, it’s been a while since i’ve seen you in one of these events,” lotor, a ceo from a rival company speaks, speaks to shiro, before looking at lance, eyes glimmering in mischief “and who might this beautiful boy be?” 
shiro is too surprised with the jealousy he’s feeling to make a comeback at the other man. he was jealous?  
“hey! i’m not interested in you, nice to meet you, now if you may excuse us.” lance hooks their arms together and drags a frowning shiro away from lotor’s range. “can you believe that guy? like anyone here is better looking than you!” lance scoffs before he realized what he had just said, panicking rising inside him
shiro’s frown softens as he looks at a very distressed lance, placing a reassuring hand on the boy’s shoulder and smiling brightly, lance is just too cute
lance’s legs are gonna fucking give up on him cause shiro just smiled at him with all teeth showing, eyes wrinkling. an actual smile. just for lance to see. he holds back from punching his own chest and screaming for his heart to stop being so fucking loud
the banquet comes to an end and there is no way lance can talk shiro out of driving him home, but he’s not that reluctant himself 
when shiro parks outside lance’s house they stay still for a moment, not even breathing, just hoping. the night had been so surreal. they’ve spent time together outside the office for the first time. neither of them wanted it to end just then
shiro inhales and is about to speak when the house’s door opens with a bang, shattering that delicate moment in pieces. lance immediately regrets not being more persistent about shiro not coming near his house
lance’s big family falls into chaos when lance gets out of the car, screaming at all of them to go back inside and mind their business 
he hears shiro leaving the fucking car and lance wishes for a lightening to struck him right there and then
“mom lance has a boyfriend!” “and he has batman’s car!”
lance expects shiro to merciless fire him right in front of his big mess of a family but he’s met with a fond expression on the man’s face. lance takes the luck he’s got and bids shiro farewell before his siblings could cost him his job
at 24 years old lance should be living by himself but he would miss his family too much
shiro thinks lance is really lucky to come back to a house full of life every day, while he comes to an empty apartment 
lance brings another bacardi rum cake the next day, apologizing for his siblings’ behavior. “this time i baked it myself while my sister wouldn’t shut up about how good we look together” he rambles on his way out, leaving shiro gaping at the door, ears red
after a month of pining for each other they finally give in to the sexual tension and make out on shiro’s desk until they’re interrupted by shiro’s phone ringing. shiro kisses lance’s neck while answering the call just because
shiro has to leave for a last minute meeting, but not before lance straightens his suit, tie and hair, sending his boss off while still sitting on the desk, swollen lips, shirt half open and body burning 
neither of them really know what to do or how to act after that until shiro asks lance out on a dinner date, and another, and another, 
this one time shiro sleeps at work again and lance gets there while shiro’s making his own coffee in his office’s small kitchen, untidy hair and shirt sleeves rolled up, exposing his prosthetic metal arm 
“nice arm” lance greets and shiro just. freezes. his breathing accelerates and he can’t hear what lance is saying, he doesn’t register the mug in his hand smashing on the floor 
lance crouches on the floor with shiro, holding his left shoulder and right cheek, repeating ‘it’s okay, shiro, it’s okay’ like a mantra until shiro’s breathing is even once again 
lance slowly reaches for shiro’s prosthetic hand and waits for him to relax into the touch. he brings shiro’s hand to his face, finally allowing tears to roll out of his eyes
“i love you shiro, so much, all of you. and this is a part of you i don’t ever wish to cast aside.”
for outsiders, their dynamic seem the same as before, and it is, except now they constantly kiss (a smooch, a peck, a make out), share a way deeper bond and have pure love shimmering in their eyes.
lance would describe shiro meeting his family as a complete disaster, shiro would say it was very endearing to see this many people loving lance the way he deserved, and how lance loved them back
lance meets shiro’s adoptive brother keith and things could have run smoother if their personalities didn’t crash so violently
shiro eventually asks lance to move in with him and lance figures it’s time to move out. “only because it’s easier to keep an eye on you this way” 
they adopt a 35kg black and white kitten that shiro can carry around on his shoulders “babe you’re so strong, carry me too!”
everyone in the company knows about their relationship and no one dares to mess with lance anymore
they have no problem on keeping things professional, making a few exceptions sometimes 
nsfw bonus under the line!!
shiro’s favorite fucking spot is on his desk
shiro likes to see lance removing the glove with his teeth
lance loves to ride shiro in his office chair, the metal hand having stretched him open
nothing can make lance shudder in pleasure like praising
shiro likes to bend lance down on his desk, tie his arms and eat his ass good
lance doesn’t spend a day with skin free of marks and shiro without scratches

❝ Oh, I'm not really into porn... I mean I'm just... I'm trying to cut way back.❞
❝ When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff ❞
❝ Uhm, this is much better. There is no problem that can not be solved with chocolate." ❞
❝ I don't think the forces of darkness are even trying. ❞
❝ Yeah. I ran away and went to hell and then got through it. I'm kind of hoping she doesn't use me as a model.  ❞
❝ I like my evil like I like my men - evil. You know, 'straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis' bad. ❞
❝ Can a nice, safe relationship be that intense? I know it's nuts, but... part of me believes that real love and passion have to go hand in hand with pain and fighting. ❞
❝ Fortune favors the brave ❞
❝ I thought a professional demon chaser like yourself would have figured it out by now. ❞
❝ I'm the Slayer. Slay-er? - Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? ❞
❝ You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma the. ❞
❝ Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Birthday Bash in a big long while." ❞
❝ Don't worry I've patrolled in this halter many times ❞
❝ If you think that's enough to kill me, you really don't know what a Slayer is. Trust me when I say you're gonna find out. ❞
❝ That probably would have sounded more commanding if I wasn't wearing my yummy sushi pajamas.❞
❝ Yeah, well love isn't logical. It's not like you can be Mister Joe Sensible about it all the time. ❞
❝ No matter what, somebody's gonna get hurt. And the important thing is, you just have to be honest, or it's gonna be a lot worse ❞
❝ Are you quite finished? It's over, okay? I'm going to ignore you, and you're going to go away. ❞
❝ Also, in terms of hair care, you really wanna say, what kind of impression am I making in the workplace? ❞
❝I need to know more. About where I come from ❞
❝Maybe if I could learn to control this thing, I could be stronger, I could be better. But... I'm scared. ❞
❝ I know it's gonna be hard. And I can't do it... without you. I need your help. ❞
❝ I need you to be my Watcher again. ❞
❝ Thank you, logic boy. Did I mention this is a rant? Sense really has no place in it. ❞
❝ Oh, right. Yeah. Darn. My fellow ravers will be so disappointed. It was my turn to bring the Bundt cake.❞
❝ Your definition of narrow is impressively wide. ❞
❝ I realize that every Slayer comes with an expiration mark on the package. But I want mine to be a long time from now. Like a Cheeto. ❞
❝ Don't talk about the books again. You get all... and sometimes there's drool. ❞
❝ Power. I have it. They don't. This bothers them. ❞
❝ So here's how it's gonna work. You're gonna tell me everything you know. Then you're gonna go away. ❞
❝ It doesn't matter where you came from, or, or how you got here. ❞
❝ You are my sister. There's no way you could annoy me so much if you weren't. ❞
❝ I don't know about you, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me. ❞
❝ I don't need a guy right now. I need me. I need to get comfortable being alone with me.❞
❝ . I'm starting to feel like... being the Slayer is turning me into stone. ❞
❝ I know this ritual! The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the hokey-pokey and turn themselves around ❞
❝ Okay, no. Death is not a gift. ❞
❝ If I have to kill demons because it makes the world a better place, then I kill demons, but it's not a gift to anybody. ❞
❝ What you did, for me... that was real. I won't forget it. ❞
❝ I'm the Slayer. The chosen one. All mythic and defender-y. ❞
❝ Evil nasties are supposed to flee from me. Not the other way around. ❞
❝ I don't understand. I don't know how to live in this world if these are the choices. ❞
❝ I love you. I will always love you. But this is the work that I have to do. ❞
❝ The hardest thing in this world... is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me. ❞
❝ I think I was in heaven. And now I'm not. I was torn out of there. ❞
❝ Everything here is hard, and bright, and violent. Everything I feel, everything I touch, this is Hell. ❞
❝ Now, about my loan. I'm not saying I'm charging you for saving your life or anything, but... let's talk rates. ❞
❝ Is that why you're always cleaning your glasses? So you don't have to see what we're doing? ❞
❝ What can't we face if we're together? ❞
❝ Well, I'm not exactly quaking in my stylish yet affordable boots, but there's definitely something unnatural going on here. And that doesn't usually lead to hugs and puppies ❞
❝ Why can't I feel? ❞
❝ A vampire with a soul? Oh my god, how lame is that? ❞
❝ I am the ghost of fashion victims past. Studded caps? Not a good idea. ❞
❝ I'm not saying that I'm doing back-flips about my life, but I didn't, I don't wanna die. That's something, right? ❞
❝ Yeah, I think the New Kids On The Block posters are starting to date me ❞
❝ You always hurt the one you love. ❞
❝ We do not joke about eating people in this house! ❞
❝ The most important job that I have is looking out for you. ❞
❝ I'm using you. I can't love you. I'm just being weak, and selfish and it's killing me. I have to be strong about this. ❞
❝ I'd say you look like you're ready to get married. ❞
❝ That's because the dress is radioactive. ❞
❝ I have feelings for you. I do. But it's not love. I could never trust you enough for it to be love. ❞
❝ But we don't kill humans. It's not the way ❞
❝ We can't control the universe. ❞
❝ When I clawed my way out of that grave, I left something behind. A part of me. ❞
❝ Things have really sucked lately. That's all going to change and I want to be there when it does ❞
❝ I want to see you grow up, the woman you're going to become. Because she's going to be beautiful and she's going to be powerful. ❞
❝ I don't want to protect you from the world. I want to show it to you. There's so much that I want to show you. ❞
❝ Peachy with a side of keen, that would be me. ❞
❝ It's not enough. I need to fix this. I don't usually get a heads up before somebody dies.❞
❝ So what then? What do you do when you know that? When you know that maybe you can't help? ❞
❝ It is always different! It's always complicated. And at some point, someone has to draw the line, and that is always going to be me. ❞
❝ You get down on me for cutting myself off, but in the end the slayer is always cut off. ❞
❝ There's no mystical guidebook. No all-knowing council. Human rules don't apply. ❞
❝ There's only me. I am the law. ❞
❝ It's not coddling. Now go to your closet. ❞
❝ Anna Nicole Smith thinks you look tacky. ❞
❝ OK, you know, this is beyond evil. This is insane troll logic. ❞
❝ If you knew what I've done, what I've let myself become. ❞
❝ "I feel like I'm worse than anyone. ❞
❝ Look, there's something evil working us, and if we are ever gonna have a chance to fight it, we need to learn everything we can about it. ❞
❝ "I don't have a choice. Whatever this thing is, from beneath us, it's bad, and it's only getting worse. ❞
❝ No. I don't hate like that. Not you, or myself. Not anymore. ❞
❝ You think you have insight now because your soul's drenched in blood? You don't know me. You don't even know you. ❞
❝ You know, I didn't even realize it was December. Maybe when we get home, we should decorate the rubble ❞
❝ I'm beyond tired. I'm beyond scared. ❞

❝ So here's the part where you make a choice ❞
❝ So I say we change the rule. I say my power should be our power. ❞
❝ Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong? ❞

“when you realize that’s probably the best visual representation of depression you can get”
(after this we watched the pharaoh but we kept the commentary to a minimal because we’d been watching a lot and were tired. also they were getting really into it)
timebreaker
(mostly soft and quiet commentary for this one)
“this poor woman who just wanted her stupid cake. like honestly? she just needed a cake”
[chat gets hit] “uh oh. NOOOOOO BABY. BAAAABBBYYYYYY”
“this show makes me want to die”
“the only thing i don’t like about this show is the transformations. and the fact that it makes me want to cry”
the gamer
“did he just say inconceivable”
“PAPA PAPA I DO NOT UNDERSTAND”
he’s literally just a triangle “who’s just a triangle? oh him? what the hell?”
“*whispers* they’re on a date”
“did he just say do a barrel roll? i hate him”
“this reminds me of the thing from the incredibles”
“this is my type of episode. but like really extra”
“the height difference between them is my happiness”
(obviously we talked less toward the end as we lost steam and got more invested. but they said they wouldn’t watch anymore without me, so i’ll be there when they watch origins....)

An Angel’s Curse, Ch 2
Rating: T (for now)
Summary: When Lucy is attacked and injured during a fight against a dark guild, she ends up being a part of a history she didn’t know existed, and wielding a power she has no clue how to control. But with a looming threat, she will have no choice but to sacrifice everything in order to succeed.
One
2 weeks earlier
 The guild hall was on fire, courtesy of Natsu, and not so slowly burning to the ground. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to build a guild hall filled with such dangerous mages out of wood deserved to see their creation burned down, Lucy decided. It was unfathomably stupid. Maybe it was a temporary build, or maybe they thought they were untouchable. Obviously they didn’t account for a destructive dragon slayer to come and burn it down, while beating everyone up at the same time.
The ground around the hall was littered with groaning or unconscious bodies of dark mages, all suffering from burns, frostbite, or cuts and bruises made by swords and whips. A few even had broken bones. It was a difficult fight, and as much as the group hated being more forceful than necessary, this time it was needed to win. This had been the fifth dark guild that the group had been paid to eradicate this month alone. No one could really say why. The number of known dark guilds had grown exponentially within the past half a year, gaining numbers, strength and in some cases even banding together to form “mega-guilds”. They were getting braver, more open with the jobs that they would normally take in the dark. Some became mere bandits, wreaking havoc, stealing and pillaging wherever they went. They were getting stronger and they cared less about the consequences, and it was scaring the hell out of the Council.
Among the unconscious bodies, Lucy was bent over, hand on knees, panting hard. She had just finished off one of her last opponents, and she was exhausted.
‘Weird’, she thought, ‘I’ve fought for longer without feeling this tired. I guess I really should train my stamina some more’. She took another deep breath, and looked up at her opponent. He was lying on his side, groaning and pressing a hand against a slash mark on his cheek. With what little strength he had left, he raised his head and looked her dead in the eye.
“Fuck you, girl,” he growled in a deep, throaty voice, clearly trying to intimidate her still. She rolled her eyes. Why did they always think they sounded so tough? He was near unconscious in front of her, having just been beat in a fight, completely at her mercy, and he thought a few ugly words would have her quaking? They always assumed her to be so fragile. Secretly, she loved watching how quickly they realised their mistake. It was strangely entertaining.
“Lucy!” She spun around to find the source of the noise, only to come face to face with a dirt smeared face with a mop of pink hair. She smiled. He truly was hopeless. How did he get so filthy this time? “Are you OK? That was a tough fight, eh? You look a little pale.” His brow was furrowed slightly, looking her over in concern.
“Just a little tired, don’t worry. Summoning both Loke and Virgo wore me out.” She waved her hand in dismissal. Even that little movement wore her out more. What was going on? Odd.
His brows furrowed even more, “It’s never been an issue before. Are you sure you’re ok?”
“Of course! It was just a long fight, is all. We’ve been fighting all day! I haven’t even eaten yet!” His face broke into a slightly, but not completely, easy grin.
“Ah that’s it! Maybe you should eat less and train more. If you lose some weight, you might be able to fight longer,” he teased.
She pushed him lightly, and started to scowl. “Hey! What’re you trying to say, you-“. She went to lightly smack him on the head, but he backed away, laughing, all worry gone from his face.
“Kidding! If you have enough energy to hit me, then you’re fine.” She stopped, giggled and lowered her hand, trying not to let on just how much the small movements were draining her energy. “Anyway, I just came to check on you. Me, Gray and Erza are still looking in the guild hall for the master. He’s in there somewhere and we’ll make sure to find out everything he knows.” His face set with determination. “You wanna come help, or do you want to rest for a minute? We’ve got it covered right now, you don’t have to come in with us if you’re low on magic. It still could end in a fight.”
“My magic is too low for a fight right now. I’ll stay out here and find out if any of the guild members know anything. Well, the one’s you left conscious anyway.” She grinned and poked his chest. He grinned back and started to run toward the smouldering guild hall. In the distance, she could see a flash of red hair and the glint of ice. She smiled warmly. ‘Always looking out for me’, she thought.
“How sickenin’.” The man behind her snarled. She slowly turned to look at him. It was a pitiful sight. He was maybe in his late thirties, and had a good physique, she judged, from the way he fought. Though you would never tell from looking at him. What you could see of his face was creased and grey, the rest was hidden under a dark, shaggy beard, which was caked in dirt and blood and spit.
“I wouldn’t think people like you understood true camaraderie.” She said dismissively as she slowly walked towards him. She pulled her whip taut, a subtle warning that she was ready if he tried anything. His eyes fell to it, and he smirked.
“Don’t need it love. All I need is strong men and women to help bow shit up. After that, I couldn’t give two fucks what happens to ‘em.”
“How lovely,” she murmured. “What a lonely life you must lead. Why bother sticking around at all, if you don’t care so much?” She took a step closer.
“Money, babe. Money and power and glory. Everythin’ every human on Earthland wants, but most are too stuck up to admit. I take what I want when I want it, and everybody ‘ere cheers me on. Can you say you have the same luxury” He sneered.
“I already have everything I want.” She said proudly, and he scoffed, clearly not believing her. “So that’s why the dark guilds have been grouping together? Is someone offering them what they want?” He laughed. It was a throaty laugh, and dangerous. For some reason, it set her on edge.
“It’s not nearly that simple, love. You ain’t gonna trick me into tellin’ you that easily.” He pondered her stern face for a moment longer. “But I’ll give you a freebie, out of the generosity of my heart.” She looked at him warily, stepping back slightly and shakily, as his face darkened. It made him look sinister, and terrifying, like a man possessed. The world around them seemed to silence as he looked her square in the eye. She felt like she couldn’t breathe. All because of a facial expression.
“You ain’t ready for what’s comin’, girlie. None of you are. You think us raiding villages is bad? Wait until they’re burned to the ground, and every one of those villagers cryin’ over their shitty possessions is dead. What’s comin’ is unstoppable, blondie. You can either stand in its way and be cut down, or bask in it with us.” He pondered her shaking form. “I wonder what I’ll do with you when the time comes. I’m lookin’ forward to slicing that pretty little throat of yours.”
She stared at him, dumbfounded. She tried to find words to retort. Something. Anything. ‘Come on, Lucy!’ But there was nothing. She could only stare and shake like a child. Why did those words sound meaningful to her, like she’d heard them before? Why was her heart aching and her pulse racing. These were just empty threats, from a man who knows he’s lost, right? There’s no ounce of truth to them. They’re dark guilds, they don’t coordinate with each other. They barely coordinate themselves.
“Y-you’re –“. There was a loud bang from behind her, and she spun around to see a fight breaking out at the guild hall. Fire was flying and swords were flashing. It was all so overwhelming that she didn’t see the man bolt up and pounce on her, knocking her to the ground. She didn’t even have time to shriek, just grunt as her body hit the ground hard. She felt a finger snap, and she gave a short cry. The man flipped her over, and clawed at her face, her body and the ground around her, as if trying to find a weapon. She desperately fought to keep his hands at bay, and as she looked at his face in horror, she saw his cool, indifferent demeanour was gone. He was raving, ranting, frothing at the mouth. It was as if he had lost his mind.
“You can’t stop the darkness, girl! The darkness is comin’! The eternal darkness! And we are his chosen! He is our saviour! He will give us a world of despair! He will give us the world that so many have failed to create before him! You’ll see, girl! You can’t run from it! He will find you! He will destroy you! He is coming! He is coming!” He screamed and laughed in her face. He laughed manically as he tore at her clothes and her face. He pulled at her hair and smashed her skull into the ground. She couldn’t scream, couldn’t yell. All she could do was gasp as her heart tightened with every word he said.
Why did she feel as she understood what he was saying? It was nothing but mad gibberish. But the words sat in her brain as if they had a space saved there. As if they belonged there.
She pushed against his face, slammed her fist into his throat. He choked, but he didn’t stop. She couldn’t put up much of a fight. The air in her lungs was getting scarcer. Her heart felt like it was going to explode. The pain was strong and sharp, but also ached so far deep down she felt she was made of it.
Then the man slowed, and his eyed widened. In the reflection of them she saw herself. At least, what she thought was herself. But her eyes were pure gold, from the whites to the pupil, and so bright she almost blinded herself. But she didn’t get to look at them for long. At that moment, her heart felt like it exploded, and she shut her eyes to scream. The pain was so intense, and she felt it from the top of her head to her toes. She could do nothing but let out the most bloodcurdling scream she had ever heard herself give. And with it was released a burst of power as gold as her eyes. ‘Where did that come from?! I was all out a moment ago!’ The burst blew the man away from her body. She didn’t know, nor did she care how far. All she knew was the searing pain flowing through her veins. She must be on fire. She didn’t know any magic could burn this badly.
And then it stopped, as quickly as it began, and the energy from the burst flew right back in. Her eyes changed back, and there was no sound left but the sound of her ragged breathing and the shouts of her friends coming closer.
It was the last sound she heard before she passed out.

I’m Gonna Wreck It
Another movie I haven’t seen, another live blog! This week I’ll be checking out Wreck-It Ralph. Truth be told, idk why I haven’t seen this before: video game and arcade jokes? What’s not to love omg.
Oh my god, 8-bit Disney Animation logo with complimentary 8-bit music. It’s perfect.
Wait a minute...is Ralph really the bad guy if the bulldozer moved his stump first? I can kinda understand his aggression seeing as they hit first. He’s only responding...with fists...
Fastest way to get exposition is to have John C. Riley narrate over a video game lemme tell ya. And the premise makes a lot of sense. Ralph does his job. It just so happens that that job is to wreck everything. And get thrown off a roof. Into mud. Medal-less.
Lol @the-kid​-who-says-“This animation is so real.” I see you, Disney. I see you.
Whoa. Just whoa. The arcade time lapse is so full of old video game references, there is no way you could catch them all in one viewing. Damn, Disney really went all out with the royalties for this movie. Pac-man, Asteroids, Frogger, TMNT, this is beautiful.
And we’re still less than 3 minutes into this movie. Oh, this is gonna be good.
Aw, Ralph wants to love his job but hates it at the same time. Is this gonna be a mid-life crisis told through video games? Please say yes.
Lolololol this is like a modern version of Toy Story. All the video games come to life once the people leave. Oh and Street Fighter II? That could not have been easy to get in this movie (and they only use it for a quick joke about grabbing a drink after work, too. Now that’s dedication to making your world believable).
I’m loving this translation of choppy 8-bit video game motions into a 3D animated world. It’s a subtle touch, but one that makes everything more realistic imo.
Also, loving the meta-humor where Ralph literally wrecks everything he touches. Even the bushes fall over after he brushes them.
Aw, Ralph’s true motivations are coming through... :(
Lol a Bad-Anon meeting? Idk what’s better: the fact that it’s a play on Alcohol Anonymous or the fact that they used Anon from Internet slang.
Nope, I change my mind. The best part about this is how many video game baddies they have here. Bowser, Kano, Dr. Robotnik, Blinky the Ghost, I just can’t believe it.
Aw, the bad guys are really trying to explain to Ralph why being bad isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That’s nice.
Oh my god, Kano just ripped Zombie’s heart out. That’s hilarious. Fatality (except Zombie is already dead...).
Lol. Thanks, Satan.
I like how everyone freaks out when Ralph says he doesn’t want to be the bad guy anymore. Society has rules, and if Ralph is trying to break them in the slightest (”go Turbo”), then everyone loses their minds. Even for bad guys, you still gotta follow the rules.
Whoa. Blinky is right. Don’t try and change who you are to be better, accept who you are to be a better you. Damn, deep stuff.
AHHH THE BAD-ANON MEETING WAS IN BLINKY’S RESPAWN BOX FOR PAC-MAN. THAT’S ABSOLUTE GOLD.
Oh my god Game Central Station is magnificent. The gates are outlet faces, and there are so many video game characters there. This is amazing.
Lol “All aboard the Soul Train, outlet 12.” Nice throwback.
Oooo a “random security check” always pulling aside Ralph. Not-so-subtle discrimination allegory. I like it. Also, Lara Croft name-dropping is always a good touch.
Sonic is in this movie too??? Marvelous. Simply marvelous.
Holy crap, Q*bert is homeless because their game got unplugged??? Snake too??? Oh my god that’s right in the feels. Aw and Ralph gives them his cherry. That’s so sweet. Gah this is gonna be an emotional roller coaster of a movie.
Lolololol is that supposed to be Skrillex?
Ralph and Felix’s conversation is so awkward. That makes me sad :(
Ah, Ralph is already breaking stuff. Ah and Felix’s respawn animation. Too cute.
Two things: 1) why are the apartment people so effing rude. Were they raised in a bar? Jfc. 2) I’m loving how anti-social Ralph is. Yea, you tell em buddy. Stick it to the man.
As sad as Ralph wrecking the cake is, you gotta appreciate the pixelated cake-splatter everywhere.
Oh my gosh how did I not see this before?! Tapper is an old video game too! Golly gee, references are everywhere!!!
Super mushrooms and Metal Gear exclamation points in the lost-and-found! Brilliant!
Oh, I get it. Hero’s Duty is supposed to be a cross between Halo and Call of Duty. Modern games are in this movie too. Smashing.
Is that Jane Lynch???? Oh heck yes!
“First Person Shooter coming through.” Niceeeeeeee.
This dubstep-space-robot-bug-thingy-shooter sequence is FUCKING AWESOME. HOLY NUTS WHY CAN’T ALL DISNEY MOVIES BE LIKE THIS.
Even in this chaotic shooting game, “formation” and social constructs are paramount. Damn, society. You scary.
Ralph and the “old video games” calling out the “new video games” for being scary. Got em.
Ha. A giant blue beam to zap all the bugs with. Cute.
Subway product placement? Huh. Interesting.
Also, the jerk guys who are clearly way older than the marketed arcade demographic are total jerks. Realistic arcade representation though. Every arcade has em.
Oh snap. Now I know why “sticking to the program” is so important. If games don’t, then they can be shut down for good. That’s so dark, Disney.
Ah now I wanna learn Q*bert-ese. That sounds really fun.
Also, it’s funny to see how much the village people (pun intended) need Ralph now after they berated him for “wrecking everything.” Yea, karma bitch.
I like how smitten Felix is for high-definition characters. Lol innuendo.
Are the cybug eggs supposed to be a reference to the eggs from Aliens? If so, I approve.
Aw, Ralph just wants everyone’s approval. That’s so sad :( Poor Ralph.
The little cybug just jumped on Ralph’s face. Totally a reference to Aliens.
Hahahahaha. Sonic lost his rings!
Sugar Rush is a mix between Mario Kart and Candyland right? That’s sweet (yes, pun intended again).
Also, that’s a theme catchy song.
I can’t believe that’s Sarah Silverman!
Whoa was that a glitch...? Do they have those in this movie?
If cybugs are viruses, does that mean Hero’s Duty is like the Norton Antivirus of the arcade then? Lol that’d be a riveting game.
Pay-to-play for this racing competition seems like it guarantees the richest racers will always race…it’s almost like the top 1% of racers will always stay at the top…hey wait a minute, Disney…
I like how the coins dissolve in to 0’s and 1’s. It’s the little details that make this movie awesome.
Oh no, Ralph’s medal got dissolved…
So Vanellope is a glitch. Whoa.
Haha. The cops are donuts. Got em.
Is that Ralph or Shrek?
AH IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPRESENTATION OF POLICE BRUTALITY??? AH DISNEY I SEE YOU
Whoa, glitch discrimination. That’s some deep stuff yo.
THE OREOS ARE FROM THE WIZARD OF OZ I’M GONNA McFREAKIN’ LOSE IT
Children of the Candy Corn? There are so many references in this movie that I highly doubt younger audiences will recognize.
Lol. Fun-geon. Pun-geon. Aha, ok. I’m done-geon. Oh my god. It went full circle.
A Darth Vader breathing reference? What doesn’t this movie have???
Pixlexia? Is that a play on dyslexia?
Holy fuck, these racers are awful. They’re destroying Vanellope’s car just cuz she’s different? WTF.
Yay! Ralph to the rescue!
Haha. Ralph can break everything except a jawbreaker. Just like I remember them.
Oh snap. Nvm, he did.
Why would a creepy character like Turbo be the hero of a racing game? He sure doesn’t look like a hero…
Also, good exposition for the word “Turbo.”
Ahaha. Nesquik-sand. I love Nesquik. But I hate sand. It’s rough. And course. And it gets everywhere (lol, ok I’m done).
Aha Laffy Taffy that laugh. This movie is full of puns too? Oh I am in love.
Aaaaand insert obligatory Disney romance subplot here.
Lol. Gunshots are the fastest way to silence unwanted singing.
Oh my gosh. Candy-cybugs???
Is Vanellope calling Ralph “Knuckles” supposed to be a Sonic the Hedgehog reference? If so, I love it.
Lolololol did she just call him GLaDOS too??? Gold!!!
A game within a game. Game-ception? Nope, a mini-game!
Aw Vanellope and Ralph are bonding.
AW VANELLOPE LOVES THE CAR RALPH MADE FOR HER. THAT’S SO FUCKING PRECIOUS.
I get the vibe I’m not supposed to like King Candy, but his puns save me. Spiritually, ethically, psychologically. Everything.
Ahhhhh the ol’ Mentos and Diet Coke trick. Good one.
Whoa. The parallels between Vanellope and Ralph are striking, sure. But the fact that she can’t even leave her game because she’s a glitch? That’s hard stuff. At least Ralph can go where he pleases. Damn, Disney.
Lol, Vanellope learning to drive is exactly how I was in driver’s ed. “What do these pedals on the floor do?”
Vanellope has a chance to win if she can “get that glitch under control?” That totally undermines the entire message of the movie thus far! What the heck!
AAAAAAAHHHHH THE UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-B-A-START CHEAT CODE!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!
Aw, even Vanellope’s code is alienated from the rest of the game…
Lol, come on Felix. Put a trigger warning on before you say “Dynamite gal.”
HOLY FUCK VANELLOPE WILL DIE IF SHE WINS THE RACE. OH MY GOD KING CANDY’S LOGIC MAKES SENSE BUT HOLY FUCK THAT’S AWFUL. JESUS DISNEY WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME.
AAAAHHH VANELLOPE MADE RALPH A MEDAL OH MY GOD THIS IS TOO MUCH
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH RALPH NO NOT THE CAR OH MY FUCKING GOD NO NO NO NO NO
This movie is really sending mixed signals about being bad. Is it good to be bad? Is it bad to be bad? Are bad guys just alone no matter which way they try to be?
Waaaaaiiiit a minute. Why is Vanellope on the side of the arcade game if she’s a glitch? Game makers wouldn’t do that…what’s going on…
Lol, I literally just thought of that Ralph. No fair.
Haha. Candy-coated Heart of Darkness. The horror. The horror.
Jesus, eating Sour Bill is like dunking him in acid. Ralph is twisted, wow oh wow.
Whoa. Jeez how omnipotent is King Candy? He forcibly made Vanellope a glitch, then locked up everyone’s memories of her? Whoa.
The game will reset if Vanellope crosses the finish line? Hm….
Also, nice “stick around” pun, Ralph.
Lol. Felix making the bars stronger is great.
So is Ralph returning to being bad…by doing something good? Again, what is this movie trying to say! Be good or be bad??? Be bad with good intentions??? Jeez, I’ve never had such an identity crisis over a movie before!
Haha. The assorted fans with nuts are the Cameron Crazies. Nice touch.
Ooooooo I love the camera pan-around for the racecars! Just like in Mario Kart!
Ah someone even spun out before the start! Didn’t get the timing right, eh?
Now that’s what I call pod-racing!
Ayyy nice. Vanellope’s glitch moved her ahead of those Mean-Girl-esque candy racers!
Damn, Vanellope is 2 fast 2 furious for King Candy (with a little Tokyo Drift thrown in there for good measure).
Oh my god. It all makes sense now. King Candy is Turbo. He passed his glitch on to Vanellope so she’d be the outcast and not him. But Vanellope inadvertently passed it back to him and exposed him. Whoa.
Oh nice, another literary reference. On the “Come back soon” sign, it says “Parting is such sweet sorrow…” from Romeo and Juliet. Nice one (and a good pun too).
Oh god, Vanellope still can’t leave the game.
No no no she can’t die. No no no don’t do it, Disney.
Oh I see. Ralph is using his bad wrecking powers for good. Ohhhhhh.
Ohhhh snap. Now Turbo is game-hopping virus. Shit.
OH NO. NO NO NO. IS RALPH GONNA DIE???
Oh. He didn’t. Good.
Wait, is Vanellope getting a dress? Aw come on, Disney. I thought we were done with gender stereotyping.
Whoa, what??? Princess Vanellope??? Yo way to go!!!
Yea, Vanellope, yea! Execute those suckers! Fuck em up!!!
Aw, she was just kidding. Darn it.
Lol, constitutional democracy? President Vanellope? Yea, I’d vote for her.
Jesus, even with a happy ending, Disney has to play with my heart. Why does Ralph have to say goodbye. Why why why.
Aw a nice sweet happy ending where everybody wins. Good ol’ Disney.
HOLY CRAP RALPH CAN SEE VANELLOPE RACING WHEN HE GETS THROWN OFF THE BUILDING THAT IS SO FREAKING CUTE OH MY GOSH
AHHHHH WHAT A PERFECT ENDING. WHAT A PERFECT LAST LINE. AHHHHH THIS MOVIE IS SO PERFECT. I CAN’T HANDLE THIS RIGHT NOW GAAAAAHHHHHH
OH MY GOODNESS JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER. THE PAC-MAN ENDGAME GLITCH IS AT THE END OF THE CREDITS DURING THE DISNEY LOGO. HOW PERFECT IS THAT!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
This movie is beautiful. Just simply beautiful.
