For writing or just headcanons, zosan + caring for the other after theyve had too much to drink? 100% no pressure tho, it's ok if that's not ur vibe or u dont feel like it ilysm❤❤

ooh i actually have a hungover zoro drabble in the works so i’ll do hcs for this one 🤭

sanji’s a sad drunk. an existential crisis, sit-in-the-corner-stare-at-the-wall drunk. he doesn’t drink for a reason; alcohol brings up everything he hides behind his smile and his snark, dissolves the carefree grin he wears as armour. it’s not fake, per se— he just uses it to hide everything that he doesn’t want others to see.

a little bit of wine at dinner is fine. tipsy is fine— especially if he’s in a lively environment. but when he passes that point he gets all quiet, and it’s so far from his usual personality that it’s concerning.

the first time zoro sees sanji properly drunk he freaks out a little (a lot). sanji’s sluggish, listless, slow to respond even when zoro shakes him and when the cook finally looks away from the ground his eyes are dull.

zoro kneels and holds sanji’s face between his palms so the cook can’t look away, but sanji’s eyes flutter shut even as his head lolls into zoro’s touch. yep. he’s not having fun anymore. the party’s still buzzing around them but zoro hauls his sad, quiet, drunk boyfriend back to the ship; gets some fluids in him, changes him into clean clothes and carries him to bed. he’s just about to turn out the light and leave, but he leans down to press a kiss to sanji’s forehead and sanji’s fingers wrap around his wrist. “zoro.”

“yes?” he replies immediately, because this is the first thing sanji’s said in hours and zoro latches onto it with a rush of relief. the mattress dips as he sits down by sanji’s hip, brushing fine blond hair away from his face. “hey, baby. what’s wrong?”

“dunno. i’m so drunk,” sanji slurs, giggling a little before it dies and leaves hollow silence. his eyes are haunted. “i’m sad, zoro.”

zoro knows. he knows what sanji’s gone through. knows the invisible weights the cook carries on his shoulders. “i know,” he breathes, fingertips lingering by sanji’s temple. he doesn’t know what else to say.

sanji turns his face into zoro’s palm, closing his eyes with a tired sigh. “don’ go.”

and how is zoro supposed to do anything else? so he changes out of his dirty clothes and slides beneath the covers. sanji’s already out cold, but he reaches for zoro in his sleep; his breathing is deep and even, back rising and falling against zoro’s chest. zoro falls asleep to the sound of the cook’s heartbeat.

in the morning, sanji is back to normal; shivery, pale, and puking his guts up, but normal. zoro is rudely awakened by his boyfriend wrenching himself out of bed and hightailing it to the bathroom, and he finds sanji with his head in the toilet bowl and goes to fetch painkillers from the galley.

they don’t talk about it. but sanji has a gleam in his eye as they get ready for the day; an extra layer of softness to the way he kisses zoro before getting started on breakfast, and zoro doesn’t push. sanji will talk about it when he’s ready. he can wait.

now, ZORO. zoro’s a touchy drunk. a huggy huggy feely feely drunk. that man is TOUCH-STARVED. his tolerance is crazy high but if he drinks enough he gets all clingy; a little grouchy, but also draping himself over every one of his crewmates he can find.

he’s got enough sweet summer mead in him to make him stumble when he stands; his coordination is shot, and he groans when he topples into someone tall, blond and handsome. he tells the man as much and sanji chuckles, hauling him upright and getting them both back to the boat.

“you’re pretty,” zoro mumbles, face-planting into the bed before rolling over as his eyes widen. “s’nji?”

“mhm.” sanji’s trying not to laugh. he hides it behind his hand before zoro’s tumbling off the bed, magically able to walk (mostly) straight again as he grabs sanji and kidnaps him to cuddle and sanji almost screeches bcs wtf?? he hasn’t showered, he’s in his crusty dusty musty street clothes, hell he’s still wearing his SHOES

but he realises real quick that he’s fighting a losing battle. zoro’s like a goddamn octopus. he resigns himself to falling asleep while being hugged like a bolster, still in his suit and half-squashed under zoro’s bulk, but he’d be lying if he said it was unpleasant.

and of course the next morning the swordsman has a splitting hangover. he spends the day with his pillow over his head, only poking his face out to sip at the broth sanji brings him through a straw.

as you can see both of these idiots have HORRIBLE hangovers when they push their limits too far.

they both don’t like others seeing them drunk; sanji doesn’t want to burden his nakama with his past (even though he knows, realistically, that he isn’t a burden) and zoro has a tendency to run his mouth. his filter just goes poof. it’s highly entertaining but he always feels like putting his head through a wall when he remembers how emotional he gets 😭

one time sanji wakes up face-down on a bar table, feeling like his head’s being cracked open, next to the girl he’d spent the night crying and being miserable with over margaritas and french 75s. she pats him sympathetically on the shoulder as he stumbles out, face buried in her arm, and he smooths a commiserating hand over her hair and tucks a wad of bills under her elbow to help her make sure she gets home safe. they end up being den den buddies and call each other occasionally to spill tea and gossip.

food and a cold shower helps sanji; bread and cheese is his go-to, whereas zoro just likes to hide in his bedding and die for the rest of the day. god bless his liver capacity.

that’s all for now,,, thank you for the ask anon!

heyyy margin I was wondering

for the sw high fantasy au, how are you planning to make the story go down? Will it be pretty similar to the movies, or will you be making any changes? Also, are you gonna be doing anything with all the crazy creatures found on every planet connect? Like, some of them are dragons and so on? Or there being different families all the creatures fit into? and finally, are you gonna include any ships that aren’t canon?

Ok that’s it XD

HI EVIE THANKS FOR CHECKING IN ON ME!!!

Okay SO. Let me answer these one at a time :D

(this is over a thousand words so it's going to be below the cut)

In terms of story, everything from the Prequels through the Original Trilogy is going to be pretty much the same. What I can tell you is that although I haven’t actually put that much thought into the Sequels yet, they are going to be markedly different from the current Disney canon in that they will combine elements from both the Disney canon and Legends, including Mara Jade and the other Organa-Solo kids (Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin as well as Ben) because they live rent-free in my mind.

However, a few things in the Prequels especially are going to be markedly different because the way they are executed in canon doesn’t fit into a High Fantasy world, and I’ll put these as bulletpoints:

Kamino is going to be introduced very differently. While Dooku destroying all evidence of its existence works in canon, because it’s in the outer rim and canon Star Wars is a digital, data-based world, in a fantasy setting it would be extremely difficult to cover up all the evidence of an entire island- especially in regards to its references (or lack thereof) in the Jedi Archives, because these would obviously now be a paper-and-pen, books and scrolls and tapestries library, instead of a digital archive where data can just be erased. (Though, the mental image of Dooku checking out all the books on Kamino and then burning them is very funny to me. Especially if Jocasta Nu walked in on him. “Master Dooku… what are you doing?” “Oh, nothing, dear Jocasta.” *book makes a FWOOSH sound as it goes up in flames*) Instead, in the AU Kamino is an Atlantis-esque legend to the people of the Galactic Archipelago: in the days of the Old Republic, it was sunk in divine retribution for the unnatural genetic alchemy practiced by the Kaminoans. After leaving the Jedi, Dooku discovers that Kamino is, in fact, real, and that the Kaminoans preserved their ancient fortress undersea by way of a magic barrier. When Obi-Wan learns about the Kaminoan dart from Dex, his problem in looking for Kamino is now that no one takes him seriously because at every turn, it’s dismissed as just a children’s tale.

This isn’t necessarily a story thing, but the map is slightly different; the most obvious example of this is the changing of Mustafar’s location, because it and Coruscant are part of the same chain of volcanic islands- Coruscant just happens to be dormant. In fact, Coruscant’s underworld is built into the caldera of the volcano, because it hasn’t erupted since the early days of the Old Republic and is widely thought to be extinct.

C-3PO has his own new lore now. He’s the ghost of a knight- Sir Anthony Threepio, so I can keep it phonetically similar (C-3PO = Sir Threepio) and also give a little reference to Anthony Daniels- who died in a surprise pirate ambush on Tatooine centuries ago, and the stress he retains from the events surrounding his death has made him neurotically obsessed with being prepared for absolutely every possible situation. In life, he was also incredibly intelligent, and spoke almost every language in the Galactic Archipelago. When Anakin is a little boy, he meets and befriends Threepio’s ghost, and, being the kind soul he is, offers to build him a suit of armor so Threepio can be in the world again. In gratitude, Threepio swears a knightly oath to serve Anakin’s family for as long as he is able.

R2-D2 (and, actually, all astromechs) ALSO has his own lore. Astromech Gnomes are a race that lives far below the surface of the Galactic Archipelago, and have for so long that sunlight is actually toxic to them. They are gifted with a masterful knowledge of machinery- an art lost to the rest of the Archipelago- and can build and/or fix almost anything, including ships. In addition, because they live in near-total darkness, they have an excellent internal compass, so they often work as navigators. However, because they can only ply their trades on the surface, and sunlight will kill them, they use their mechanical genius to build themselves small dome-like suits from which they can safely practice their craft without endangering themselves. In addition, they can understand but cannot speak basic, due to the fact that they have avian-like mouth structures and can only speak in whistles and chirps.

On a similar note, let’s talk about Battle Droids. I’ll try to breeze through this pretty quickly. Regular Battle Droids are necromanced skeletons (General Grievous is an ancient, undead Lich Warlord and necromances all of them), Super Battle Droids are centaur-esque automatons (in the classic sense, like in Greek and Roman mythology), and Droidekas I… haven’t actually figured out yet (if you have any ideas let me know!).

Creatures! Well, obviously I just talked about Astromechs and Battle Droids. But yes, I have thought about this! I have a few ideas which I actually came up with while I was designing Padme’s area outfit from Attack of the Clones, and then obviously I’ve been thinking about the alien races that are too bizarre to just put into my system of “There Are Many And Diverse Human Cultures In The Galactic Archipelago”. And anyway, this is a fantasy world, we need fantasy creatures. I’ll put these in bulletpoints, too. In regards to all of these, I’m trying to keep their in-canon appearances as much as possible while just amping up the fantasy vibe, so- for example- Admiral Ackbar will still look like Admiral Ackbar, but with lobster legs. And such.

Nexu are manticore-esque

Acklays are something like a Cockatrice

The Rhino Thing whose name I can never remember? The thing Anakin fights? That’s a Tarasque now.

The Aquatic races are all types of merfolk: Nautolans are your classic mermaids, and still have their head tentacles (for reference, I’ll upload a picture of Heroforge!Kit Fisto at the end of this list); Mon Calamari are crustacean-legged; Quarren are squid-people; and the other fish-people (like the one who steals Ahsoka’s lightsabers in that one episode) are. Well. They’re fish mermaids.

Heroforge!Kit Fisto:

Thisspiasians are like Nagas, but with four arms.

Besalisks are centaurs. But with four arms. (There’s a lot of four-armed creatures in star wars.)

Yoda is a delightful little imp-creature.

Kaminoans are. Well. Kaminoans. I think they’re weird enough to just leave alone.

Geonosians are malicious insect-like pixies (in the classic sense)

Darth Maul specifically is a Drider- a spider-legs person. The Clone Wars writers were cowards (affectionate), but I am not, so he keeps the spider legs.

If you have any more ideas for creatures to fantasy-ify, I’d LOVE to hear them!

Ships. Both in the boat sense and the romance sense. But I suspect you’re talking about the romance sense here :) So here’s the thing, most of my Star Wars ships are. Already canon. (A few I think might just be widely-accepted fanon, but that could just be because I’m not quite done with TCW and I haven’t started TBB yet, so that remains to be seen). HOWEVER. There is, in fact, Mara Jade, and as she is no longer Disney canon, I think it’s safe to say that she and Luke are no longer canon, so yes, there will be at least ONE non-canonical ship in this AU- that being the aforementioned Luke and Mara Jade. There might be others, which I will get back to you on upon completion of TCW and TBB. (Oh, and there’s also pre-Sith Dooku and Jocasta Nu, because old people in love is near and dear to my heart, and I don’t know if this counts as non-canon or not, but that will be at least briefly touched upon.)

I hope you found this enjoyable and enlightening. And also, you know me, if you have any follow-ups, I will be DELIGHTED to scream about those with you :D

Furry Visual Novel Book Club: Echo Week 12 SPOILERS

Hi everyone, here is the SPOILER discussion post for “Echo - Leo’s Saturday”

Links: Previous - Next - Original - Spoiler Free Version A - Version B

Feel free to respond in reblogs/replies/or asks :D

We begin this week with a decision. For the spoiler version I’ll be covering both versions as there’s only slight variants, and for the spoiler free version I will be splitting the two options into different posts. I recommend waiting until the end of the route before reading the other choice (or even just checking out the other version of the post!)

Ill be donating the changes as O1 and O2 for Option 1 and Option 2 IN this combined spoiler post:

Respect Leo’s Privacy:

Chase decides to talk to Leo about the text instead of going through his phone.

Check His Phone:

Leo has a few texts from Chase at college that are pinned… Chase goes to more recent messages reading one where Leo is arguing with Flynn about the whole ‘thing’ being planned but doesn’t think to much of two bickering. The next conversation is from Carl, the Ram asking when they’re going to hang out. Leo said Chase was to busy… but that the wolf never asked him. Chase also sees that Leo planned the high school trip. Jenna is asking if Leo is avoiding her… The text with Tj has Leo outright lying to the lynx, that Chase was sad and didn’t want to hang out.

‘We’ll figure it out” starting to become a calling card to the route... a dark foreshadowing. Chase sees a spider

INSANE Chase/Sam Shipping

While it’s been ~fairly~ established that Chase sees spiders as manifestations of his guilt (in all it’s many forms!) I also like to think they’re Sam dropping in and saying ‘Hiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~” from time to time too... Apart To Long and all of that...

Re-convergence:

Chase falls asleep and a nightmare sequence plays. He wakes up outside and reminiscences on the same feeling from when he was in boy scouts when he was younger. He then ‘realizes’ he’s ‘actually’ outside and starts to worry about HOW. Branches stab into him and Chase remembers the story about the man who failed to jump the train. Chase eventually discovers that he’s in the train-yard and is able to calm down a bit, being somewhere he at least knows. Something starts to shift around in the train car and Chase begins to back away. A large ‘thing’ lunges at Chase from the darkness and the otter runs away from the presence.

A monster crushes Chase, choking him until he wakes up gasping for air.

My personal interpretation of THIS monster (Which also makes a ‘dragging’ noise despite moving so fast!), is that this is Chase seeing some sort of manifested form of Brian’s aura/darkness. We know The Entity has a LOT tied up into the bear and its proclivities to choking line up. It’s lumbering and quick form are also ‘bear-like’ IMO. It resting in a train-car was reminiscent of Devon being tied up in a van too but I might be crazy... but if I’m not it’s certainly bear-like in that essence too, if I first thought of Dev..

Leo comforts him and asks what he dreamed about. Chase admits he can’t remembers. Leo goes to make Chase some tea and before falling asleep, Chase finds leaves and dirt in the bed near his feet...

Now this is definitely interesting. I have hypothesized that Chase ‘sees’ alternate timelines when he sleeps, or at least versions of them. (At least where ones mix with his guilt and fears). But manifesting something physical from it? We also learn that Leo is heavy sleepier, and the way Chase describes the town is reminiscent of how he describes the Red-World in Route 65 when he’s sleep walking towards the van... Maybe he did run out there and encounter some malignant force... Which needs the otter for later, who eventually returns to bed? Maybe he passes/pulls something from his dream?

/////////////////////// SLIGHT ARCHES FINAL BUILD SPOILERS ////////////////////////////

we see Cam more or less purposely and fully see other timelines. He’s MUCH more psychic though, and even Sam isn’t on that level. Maybe it’s a more advance form of that ability, being at the heart of the town while the Hysteria is starting and more supernatural things can occur other than full on hallucinations?

////////////////////// END SLIGHT ARCHES FINAL BUILD SPOILERS ///////////////////////

The next morning Chase reads over text from Leo, the wolf saying he’ll be back home in a bit from work.

O2: Chase wants to confront Leo...

Chases heads off to complete his project but notices that the town is eerily silent, electricity in the air. Chase then immediately forgets about his project and starts chatting with Kudzu, who was outside working on his lawn. The raccoon offers to show Chase an old pump to film and the two set off.

O2: During the exchange on the way to the pump, Chase calls into question Leo’s real motives for the trip.

Come Over begins to play as the two walk down the road together…

Kudzu reveals he works in Echo at the town hall and doesn’t travel to Payton regularly. This doesn’t seem consistent with what we see later from Kudzu, but is probably just a small writing mistake/continuity error.

Chase is extremely rude AND nosey and asks Kudzu about what happened in Payton. Kudzu asked why Chase even cares.

Kudzu reveals that a person he lived with was killed in a incident of gun violence... A half awkward moment later and the two arrive at the pump. Chase films while Kudzu fills the piss quota for the route by pissing into some nearby bushes. The camera’s battery is low and Kudzu runs to fetch a spare while Chase continues to film. Chase hears light gagging and follows the sound through the brush, stumbling into a trailer nestled into the trees and a clearing.

Chase thinks he sees a dead body hanging from a tree, his first instinct to film it. After gathering his senses he stops and notices that it’s Clint, the ring-tail being hung from the tree, feet slightly off the ground. Clint tries to warn Chase away.

A large and naked bear appears from the clearing, Clint going quite at his arrival. He immediately notices Chase. The bear has a high-pitched voice, his intentions clearly BDSM related. Chase begins to back up as the bear slowly approaches. Upon reaching the end of the clearing Chase looks back at Clint has a brief flashback to when he was young, catching the ring-tail huffing something from rag. Chase makes it back to the pump where Kudzu waits, the otter hurrying the two away from the clearing.

Chase relays the information to Kudzu, who realizes that the bear is probably the town’s local meth dealer, Brian. Chase assumes that Clint is trading sexual favors for drugs and feels bad for Clint…

The pair arrive at the school to film, Duke watching them from a distance for a while. Leo texts Chase to meet him at the diner and Kudzu and Chase part ways, just as Chase’s phone dies.

O1: Chase thinks about having a friend like kudzu once he moves back with leo.

O2.: Chase wonders if he should bring up the THING now… if he can even trust Leo again.

Chase makes it to the diner before Leo and does some introspection about the trip.

Chase is starting to see through the fog a bit... to see what’s been happening and whose he’s been abandoning all over again. Doing the same things that led him to breakup with Leo so messily...

O2: Chase wonders if he got what he really wanted...

INSERT MORE INSANE CHASE/SAM SHIPPING

One of the few times Chase thinks about Sydney... he doesn’t seem TO sad about it though. Maybe a commentary, about this hopefully being of the town’s last (non Brian related) atrocities that spark a hysteria...

Before Chase can think two much on the circumstance, Leo barges into the diner.

Here the two options split so I’ll cover one then the other in sequence:

O1:

Neutral plays as Leo appears on the scene. The two partake in PDA, questioning why no one is in the diner.

I take all the analysis of this man I’ve ever done in my life back. If he licked me on MY otter nose he could actually do anything he wanted to me.

Leo reveals that Duke accosted him on the way into town, claiming that Chase and Leo are to blame for the problems happening Janice stumbles into the room.

O2:

Quiet begins to play. Chase confronts Leo, the wolf clearly nervous. Chase admits he looked at his phone, the wolf becoming defense, realizing what Chase saw. Leo appears to have a small breakdown, refusing to engage the conversation. When Leo realizes him being sad wont wash things over he becomes angry with Chase.

Leo excuses his behavior due to Chase’s actions three years ago. Leo screams, Chase used to the ‘tantrums’.

Right before they can do anything but yell at each other, Janice stumbles into the room.

Re convergence:

The coyote is haggard and disheveled, something clearly wrong with her.

O1: Chase makes mention of the chef, Dale

O2: Janice asks about the yelling as Neutral begins to play.

The pair try head out but Janice insists they stay.

O1. Chase acknowledges he’s been spending to much time with Leo to pay attention to the town.

O2: Chase is upset that he hadn’t noticed the town getting crazier and a crazier, afraid that Leo was going to let him move back in when it was getting worse

The two see Tj jogging in the town before Janice returns.

Goodbye Julian you funky little white-boy you... whose name I had to look up for this...

Chase realizes something is very wrong with TJ and goes to help… just as Duke pull up to the diner. Janice intercepts the weasel, seemingly ignoring the gun as they bicker.

A smallest tease to TSR, which may have been in planning stages around the time this was written. A real good nod to the prequel game, even if it wasn’t fully fleshed out yet. I’d also like to point out ~here~ that Duke mentions that the town did in fact kill someone in a response to Jack’s death, which (presumably) according to his grandfather Cliff, didn’t stop the hysteria. While it’s definitely something that doesn’t ‘fit’ due to things being still in development, and Sam being very much ran over by Chip and Janice, the person killed for Jack’s murder is now called into question. Maybe they’ll ‘back fill’ this in by giving Murdoch the axe in some self-sacrifice timeline, which would cover him not existing at the time of the Echo’s writing.

Duke drops Janice, shooting her several times. Leo covering Chase with his body trying to protect him. Duke orders Leo away from Chase as he tells the pair what he’s after. Brian walks in and zip-ties Leo’s hands together under Duke’s command. Just as Duke gives Chase a commander, he shoots at the ceiling.

While Brian and Duke are distracted by a fucking Onryo of Duke’s wife Chase is met with a decision…

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

And this is where we end for the week… as things calm down from me pouring out my heart over small character interactions and more complicated setups due to the spoiler/non spoiler nature, we’ll be picking up the pace til the end of the route! This choice is ‘unimportant’ so I’ll be sure to cover both.

Reminder that the next choice after that is a small game-over like in Carl’s Route, so be sure to save your game by going back one line once you get there (I’ll cover both options!)

We’ll be reading till the line “Leo: He told me you were down here. Come on.”

It’s a HEFTY chunk, about the size of the last part of Carl’s route. But it’ll help finish this route in two weeks instead of three, and also cuts better with the rise and fall of tension we’re gonna have going on…

Until next week everyone ~

《The Mandalorian》『SEASON 3 : Episode 8 - Chapter 24』-「THE RETURN」

SPOILERS!

Thoughts on rewatch……

This episode picks up where last episode leaves off. Did not expect the jetpack to last that long for Axe; given that the fleet was just outside atmosphere.

Bo Katan has a plan. Normally, her plans (just like anyone else’s plans) don’t quite go as intended. But she’s confident, and sends Axe up to the ship.

Ever the leader, she charges in but brings up the rear, setting a detonator charge to buy her some time.

Din is bound between two troopers, and we get a first-person POV from inside his helmet. I’d assumed one’s line of sight from inside the helmet wasn’t much, but I’m wrong.

Din asks Grogu, “You with me?” The music soars from the drums (important later), straight into the theme music.

Din contacts Bo-Katan and lets her know he and Grogu are okay for the time being, and tells her what he’s doing. She updates him on her plan, and tells him to “stay safe”. No surprise, the camera immediately cuts to the Captain, and the crew leaves their current predicament.

Next scene is the TIE/IN Interceptors. They hang upside down like bats, and they drop and take off like them too. It ups the scary factor, as they can launch with little notice. We also see bombers screaming skyward to the flagship. The shot of numerous TIE fighters shooting out of a hole in Mandalore’s surface is just… something else to see.

Gideon puts on his helmet, and when he says “I’ll take care of them myself”, he sounds a lot like Darth Vader.

The shots of R5, Din, and Grogu sneaking around the base feels A LOT like the sequence in A New Hope where R2D2, Kenobi, Han, Luke, and Chewbacca are sneaking around the Death Star. It’s also interesting how Din speaking to Grogu is sort of a meta-narration, so we learn the details the same time Grogu is hearing it.

Axe notifies command, and sends all his troops down to the planet. He orders them to leave the capital ship. At this point I’m thinking, “Axe is crazy! That’s incredibly self-sacrificing!” But then I remember loyalty is one of the best traits any Mandalorian has, so it’s no surprise he’s willing to do what it takes to help defeat Gideon and his army. Axe’s troops head down to the waiting Gauntlets, and they dive toward the surface. The Gauntlets are accompanied by several smaller fighter ships. I really love the shot where the Gauntlets descend to the planet, the camera lingers above the clouds, and not a few seconds later, the TIE Interceptors shoot out from beneath the clouds and up to the capital ship. The Mandos going down, and the Imperials going up, it is a foreshadow for a later scene, but I’ll explain that later. How ships of both parties never hit each other is beyond me, but smart of the Mandos to use the cloud as cover.

Axe trying his damndest to stay put in the pilot’s seat is a feat in and of itself. He’s fighting the fight/flight instinct. I’ve never seen anything like it.

The scene where Din instructs R5 to keep opening the laser shield doors one at a time is pretty intense, it’s like each door he passes, the level of difficulty goes up. The first pair of guards Din fights, he grabs a knife and fights with it momentarily and throws it at one guard, and he tries to get it back, and he fails. He doesn’t let that stop him. He gets another knife from the first downed guard and tells R5 to open shield #2. The weapons get bigger, and the guards get tougher. He fights messy, but acquires an electro-staff and an actual shield. He instructs R5 to open shield #3. He loses the knife, acquires a blaster. R5 gets intercepted, but does not back down, and opens shield #4. Din loses a shield, but retains the blaster; he shoots the last few guards a few times for good measure. Din now has two blasters. He went from being weaponless to being fully-armed. After all, weapons are part of his religion.

Din and Grogu pass clones of Gideon. This might be a bit of a canonical throwback, but the fact that Gideon has been able to clone himself kind of points to why the Empire, years ago, was looking for Omega from the Bad Batch. She was one of the special ones. Even so, last episode, Gideon says that cloning was not his obsession; clearly that was a lie, but also a misdirect, since he did say about his beskar armor, “the most impressive improvement is that it has me in it.” That, was not a lie. It was a foreshadow. Din shuts down the tanks, which explode, and he and Grogu leave.

Even though Bo and her troops arrive at their very temporary shelter (as they leave literally right after this), it’s not simply just worldbuilding. The Captain explains that though he and his crew have had to cultivate the plants, it was a giant metaphor for just how stubborn Mandalore and its people are. The Empire bombed the planet until it looked like there was nothing left, and yet, and YET people, plants, and animals clung to life. Life on Mandalore does NOT quit. The Captain says, “Life persists.” Bo admits, “I’ve only ever seen gardens in the domed cities.” To which the captain replies, “All they need is room to grow.” Fitting metaphor for the Mandalorians themselves.

Bo’s troops go up, Axe’s troops go down, and they reunite as a single deadly fighting force. Bo takes out the Darksaber - as she believed that it is only with the blade she can reunite her people. This is not really true, and I’ll explain why later. The Mandalorian troops head back down into the planet, and are met with ascending Imperials. Remember the foreshadow earlier when the Gauntlets went down then the TIEs went up? That was a foreshadow for this scene! And what an aerial battle it is. I have never in my life watched a jetpack battle between people in Mandalorian armor. It’s a really awesome scene. The reason why Bo can actually wield the Darksaber is because her goals and feelings regarding her people and her planet are very, very clear - she may not want to rule Mandalore, but she sure as hell wants her home planet and her people back. We hear the frantic but controlled alto instruments, but also the bass line of the Mandalorian theme song playing as the clash begins.

Gideon thought he could “[isolate] the potential to wield the Force” (that’s what he wanted from Grogu a season or two back), but the Force is not something you “get”, it’s something you have. You either have it or you don’t. If you don’t have it you can’t wield it. Gideon’s movements are calculated, controlled rage. His movements sound like there is a robot behind the suit rather than a human, making him seem more menacing. He lets Din face the Praetorians alone. Much like their real world counterparts, Praetorians are elite guards. When Grogu becomes a target, the Guards rush after him. Din tries to run after Grogu, but gets repeatedly downed by Gideon. We see an unnamed Mandolorian warrior make use of her knee blasters. The battle rages on three fronts: The Praetorians are attacking Grogu, Gideon fights Din, and the Mandalorians exchange blaster fire with the Imperials. Bo Katan spears one through the midsection with the Darksaber - brutal, but necessary. She comes in with a flying kick, aided by her jetpack, and downs Gideon. She tells Din to get Grogu. Bo fighting with a saber is definitely NOT the first time we see a non-Force sensitive person wield a saber (see: Han in ESB (briefly), and Sabine Wren in Rebels). Also love how Grogu is just casually using the Force to aid Din, and Din doesn’t even know it (maybe he does).

Meanwhile, the capitol ship is on a downward trajectory that cannot be corrected: this is intentional; Axe meant for this to happen. He will crash the ship into the base, the only way to hurt Gideon where it matters most. Gideon knocks her down, but Bo is furious, gets back up, and lunges. Gideon destroys the Darksaber, removing the one thing Bo thought she could use to reunite her people. Suddenly, she is alone again; in the sense that she theoretically loses authority. Gideon states, “You’ve lost everything.” For context, Obi-Wan had told Anakin in AOTC that a saber is a very precious possession, and extremely meaningful to one’s life. To lose it is tantamount to losing one’s life and meaning. So, to Bo, it’s like she lost everything, all over again. Gideon taunts her, saying “Mandalorians are weak once they lose their trinkets.” This is not true. Last episode, Din told her he’s not loyal to some weapon. The Darksaber means NOTHING to him, and now Bo realizes this. She’s had enough of the power grabs and divisions that the Darksaber has caused between Mandalorians, and she fires back: “Mandalorians are stronger together.” Which is her journey so far. She realizes this only now because if not for what had happened to her, she would not have known this otherwise. The Darksaber is but a mythical weapon, ultimately meaning nothing. Bo has stated last episode, “Mandalore has always been too powerful for any enemy to defeat. It is always our own division that destroys us.” Meaning, the Darksaber is nothing but a curse; without it, the Mandalorians come together NOT BECAUSE OF A BLADE, but to retake their damn homeworld once and for all. Bo did not have to worry about some blade. To nobody’s surprise, the moment she utters this, Din comes marching in with Grogu, blasters firing.

The ship is still going down; at this point I’m thinking, “Axe is on a suicide mission!” But then, right after I finish the thought, he shoots out a window and escapes, free to fight another day. His and Bo’s troops evacuate the base. The ship crashes into the base; Din, Gideon, and Bo face off. Din gets hit on the wrist, and Bo comes to his rescue, shielding him. The place explodes around them, Grogu uses the Force to disadvantage Gideon; Din rushes to protect Grogu, and Bo rushes to protect them both. The flames engulf everyone. It looks like they might not survive this, BUT BUT BUT! Grogu saves the day! He is using the Force to create a bubble to shield Din and Bo. This scene feels so familiar because it feels like a heroic inversion of that one scene in S4E8 of Rebels, “Jedi Night”, where Kanan uses the Force to hold back an explosion to save the Ghost crew but sacrifice himself; here Grogu saves both Bo AND Din from the flames. Bo is astonished; she looks from around her, to Din, and finally down at Grogu, like she can’t believe she’s alive. The flames around them dissipate, and both Mandalorians stand up, and we cut to black. It’s not over.

Remember the drums I mentioned earlier? The Mandos are at the Mines of Mandalore, where Ragnar finally gets to be properly baptized, as his last attempt didn’t go so well. Din practically adopts Grogu right there and then, and the Armorer approves. Someone mentioned once that it took so long for Din to call Grogu his son, because he started off a mission but now Din has grown close enough to basically be a dad. It was about time that happened.

So the thing with names- “Din Grogu”, right? I’m thinking, what if, if “Grogu” is a first name, and “Din” is something like a last name, only put before his first name “Djarin”? Therefore “Din Grogu” would make sense on a lastname-firstname basis. It’s not the same with Bo-Katan, or Axe Woves, or even Sabine Wren, for that matter. If Din and Grogu are a Clan of Two, then clearly it should be called Clan Din. It only makes sense that way, that in Clan Din there is Djarin and Grogu. This is the way names work, I think?

The Armorer states, “You must leave Mandalore and take your apprentice on his journeys, just as your teacher did for you.” And why, you might ask? This is the fulfillment of the Hero’s Journey: the Hero returns to whence he came, after a call to adventure, where he meets supernatural aid and comes across guardians, mentors, and friends; he reaches a revelation, a rebirth, after which he transforms, atones, with the gift of the “Goddess”, and returns. Din had started his journey on the call to adventure, and meets Grogu, his supernatural aid. Greef Karga is his mentor and friend. Bo is also his friend and ally. Din’s revelation is sort of him removing his helmet; his transformation, he changes because of how he feels toward Grogu. However, he must atone for that, so he requests that Bo guide him to the Mines so he can baptize himself in the Living Waters to atone. Then he returns to Mandalore to help fight Gideon, and subsequently also returns to his starting point, as a gunman and bounty hunter for hire.

Bo, the Armorer, and the rest of the Mandalorians meet at the Great Forge, finally able to reclaim Mandalore after so many years. The Armorer hands Bo-Katan Kryze a torch, and she lights the Forge. It roars to life, symbolic of the Mandalorians being one once more. The Mandalorians have finally come home, UNITED, and it wasn’t even a blade that reunited them.

Din returns to the rebel base. Some time passes, and he returns to Nevarro. Greef Karga gifts him a home for between assignments, and Din gifts Karga his IG-11 droid back, but improved. For what is perhaps one of the few moments in his life, Din has peace. He sits outside his new home, his N1 parked just outside, and watches Grogu practice his abilities.

===

FINISHING THOUGHTS:

1. I loved this episode, largely in part due to the aerial fights and carefully planned shots. The characters I theorized last week could show up, didn’t, and that’s okay. They didn’t, because they didn’t need to.

2. I also loved the foreshadowing, the visual references, the metaphors. I also loved how the Darksaber is no more. Don’t get me wrong, it is an AWESOME weapon, but it has plagued the Mandalorians for far too long, and has been one of the things that divided them. Struggles for power and all that, all for a blade. It took ages of infighting, division, it took Din telling Bo that the blade didn’t matter to him; it took Gideon finally destroying the very thing that divided the people of Mandalore, for Bo-Katan Kryze to finally, FINALLY, realize that Mandalorians are stronger together. It’s not that she didn’t know, it was that she chased after the blade like her people before her did; now that she doesn’t even have it, she doesn’t even need it! And she is still able to unite her people! WITHOUT THE BLADE!

3. Something about the Great Forge being “the heart of our civilization” (per Axe, last episode), and the Mandalorian creed vows about the words being forged into their hearts, I’m not quite sure how to put into words this association but there’s certainly something there.

4. More thoughts on the Hero’s Journey and episode titles of The Mandalorian:

- S1E3Ch3 : The Sin (“Temptation”/“Threshold”)

- S1E7Ch7 : The Reckoning

- S1E8Ch8 : Redemption

- S2E3Ch11 : The Heiress (“Goddess”)

- S2E6Ch14 : The Tragedy

- S2E8Ch16 : The Rescue

- S3E1Ch17 : The Apostate (“Transformation”)

- S3E3Ch19 : The Convert (“Atonement”)

- S3E8Ch24 : The Return

5. Overall, excellent episode, very much looking forward to Season 4. Which might take place either concurrently to, or after the events of, the Ahsoka series. I guess we’ll find out eventually.

Femslash Feb Day 12 - Swimsuit - Marcy/Sasha/Anne

im not gonna lie. i did not have the best day

so i decided to write a kin fic about ME

pu hu hu

so if you're wondering hmm i wonder about this marcy lore

thats because it is ME lore

Brief Summary: Oh no. No no no. Marcy squeezed her eyes shut. Maybe she should lie and say she was just suddenly on her period or something. Then she wouldn’t have to face the mortifying reality that she no longer fit into her bathing suit.

Word Count: 655

Rating: Teen (cursing)

I’m still accepting ships for femslash feb!!! Send me your fave fem pairs and I’ll write you a fic sometime this month!! (3 spots left)

Oh no. No no no. Marcy squeezed her eyes shut. Maybe she should lie and say she was just suddenly on her period or something. Then she wouldn’t have to face the mortifying reality that she no longer fit into her bathing suit.

The worst thing is that she’d driven all the way out to the beach with Sasha and Anne and she hadn’t even tried it on because ‘there was no way it wouldn’t fit, right?’. She’d been ignoring the harsh reality that her body was changing because of age, medicine, and alright, some lifestyle choices, for a long time now. She’d always worn loose, baggy clothes, but it was kinda hard to do that in a swimsuit without your whole ass hanging out. She just didn’t want to embarass herself in front of the other girls.

Speaking of… “Mars? You in there?” Sasha’s voice echoed around the bathroom. “Anne and I just got the boards out of the truck. We were going to hit the waves in a minute. You good?”

“Yeah!” Marcy called, putting a lot of pep into her voice. Time to decide about the lie. “I just started uhh, bleeding all over like crazy so you know I might just sit on the beach. Make a sandcastle.”

“You sure?” Sasha’s voice was closer now. Marcy thanked god she’d decided to get changed behind a curtain. “Your cycle isn’t supposed to start for another week, right? Did you forget to take your pills?”

“Yup, sure did. So embarrassing.” Marcy laughed a little louder than was normal. “Forgot the other ones too so you know… extra crazy today probably. You should just head on without me.”

“I’m coming in,” Sasha announced, and before Marcy knew it, she’d slipped behind the curtain. Oh fuck. She had the one piece suit pulled up tight around her groin, but she just hadn’t been able to get it any higher. Marcy drew her arms in to cover her chest. Of course Sasha was wearing a skimpy little bikini too. Fuck.

“You’d better watch out,” she warned, “because of… the blood. And uhh…” Oh God. She really didn’t want Sasha looking at her while she was like this.

“Hey,” Sasha said in her therapy voice. “It’s okay, Marcy. You didn’t have to lie about it.”

Marcy felt her eyes welling up. “You don’t get it. You and Anne are so skinny. And strong and stuff. And everyone knows you’re the hot one.”

“Woah.” Sasha reached over and put her hand on Marcy’s arm. “There’s no 'hot one'. Okay? And no one thinks less of you because you’ve been putting on weight. It just happens.”

Marcy scrubbed at her eyes. “Didn’t happen to you though,” she muttered. “Or Anne. I’m just the fucking freak.”

“Marcy,” Sasha said in a commanding voice. “No one thinks you’re a freak.”

“You can say that,” Marcy sniffled, “but I’m the only one who has to take fucking anti-psychotics too. And I don’t even know how to drive. And I’m ugly. And I don’t make any money. And I-”

“Mars.” Sasha leaned in. “I promise Anne and I don’t think any less of you because of any of that. Okay? Everyone is different. If you were just like me, let’s be real, I don’t think you and I would even get along.”

Marcy had to laugh a little at that. Sasha squeezed her arm.

“Now come here,” she said, pulling Marcy in. “Let’s hug it out, and then you can get changed. And then we’ll go home.”

Marcy felt her eyes welling up again. “What about the beach day?” she sniffed. “And you wanted to go surfing and-”

“Fuck the beach day,” Sasha said with so much assurance that Marcy had to laugh again. She hugged Sasha until she felt eased enough to let go, but she still turned around to face the wall to get changed. She wasn’t that brave just yet.

Okay! So this is the third part! Sorry this whole thing isn’t really my best writing, but it’s been super crazy in my life. But I’m just enjoying going crazy with ideas in this, and I’m enjoying it, even if the quality isn’t the best. So, here we are! :3

Part 1

Part 2

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

“Okay, Kai usually trains by himself every Thursday around 4pm. So, we have a good chance of getting him alone and asking him to talk in private without getting interrupted!” Jay waved his hands in excitement.

“Didn’t he also say, and I quote! ‘If you interrupt me I will burn your dinner for a week.’ I can’t have coals for dinner Jay!”

“Relax! You're the Earth ninja, I’m sure coals will just be like spicy rocks or something!”

“I don’t eat rocks Jay.”

“Besides, this is kind of important. I’m sure it’ll be fine!” Jay blabbered on and paced in a small circle. “Everything will be absolutely fine! Nothing will go wrong-“

“Jay, you’re freaking out aren’t you?”

“Kai will absolutely be chill with this! Even if he rejects us, it can’t go that terrible, right!?”

“Jay-“

“I mean, I’m not freaking out! You don’t need to be nervous, cause I’m not nervous at all!”

“JAY!!”

“I LIED I’M FREAKING OUT!!” Jay grabbed Cole by the shoulders and shook him vigorously. “WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO IF HE SAYS NO!? I CAN’T HANDLE THAT TENSION! I CAN BARELY HANDLE DROPPING SOMETHING ON THE GROUND IN A STORE! WE’RE GONNA DIE!!” Cole rolled his eyes, grabbing Jay by the face and planting a solid kiss on his lips. Jay's sounds of panic slowly died down and muffled into the kiss, and slowly Cole pulled away as Jay stared at him with a dazed expression.

“Better?” Jay nodded slowly and covered his blushing face with both hands. Cole smiled, slowly stroking Jay’s hair. “Good. Look, Kai is a pretty chill dude. Sure he gets a bit overzealous and impatient, but I feel like with this, he’ll be one of the most chill guys to get rejected by. Besides, we got each other, I’ll be here the whole time.” Jay moved his hands away from his face and rested his head on Cole’s chest with a smile.

“Yeah. Okay, thanks…I’ll be there for you too.” Jay nuzzled further into Cole’s chest, gripping tightly to his shirt. Cole’s warm arms wrapped around Jay as Cole shoved his face in Jay’s hair.

“Thanks Sparky. Now, let’s get out there and kick this confession's butt.”

_______________________________________

“100! 101! 102!”

The counting echoed out onto the deck of the bounty as a cold breeze brushed past Kai’s hair. The breeze was nice, since Kai usually ran hot anyway, but it was especially nice when he was building up a sweat.

“103!”

“You go first!”

“Come on! Where is that confidence I just finished building up!?”

“You calmed me down! There was no confidence built!”

Kai sighed and stopped his push-ups. “I thought I told them not to interrupt my workout.” Kai mumbled to himself. He liked his scheduled training, it gave him some time alone to think, and almost everyone knew about it, so why, on the First Spinjitzu Masters green earth was he being interrupted!? Kai stomped towards the door that Cole and Jay had been rudely bothering his peace and quiet from, and fully opened the door. Jay yelped and jumped back into the stiffest standing position ever seen. If you were to put him next to a wooden board, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Cole’s tension was significantly less, but it was still clearly there. “You guys wanna tell me why you are bothering my training time, when everybody on this ship knows not to do so unless it’s important!”

“Uh- um! I-well…we-“ Jay stammered as he fiddled with his hands. Cole put a hand on his shoulder and took a deep breath, then gave Kai a soft smile.

“We wanted to talk to you about something, if that’s okay?” Kai’s expression softened as he looked at the two boys. He hoped it wasn’t serious. Were they having issues? ‘I hope not, they are kinda cute together, it’d be a shame if it ended.’ Kai thought as he closed the door behind him.

“Um, yeah…okay dude, sure. Lead the way.” Cole nodded in response and gestures for him to follow. Jay was still just as stiff as he turned and followed his boyfriend. The two led Kai to Cole’s room and opened the door for him, before following him in and shutting it. “Okay…what’s up guys? You two have been acting kind of weird lately. You having relationship issues or something? I mean, I have experience in relationships, but I’m just surprised you would ask me for advice.” Cole and Jay both shook their heads as Jay let out a nervous laugh.

“No…no it’s not that. Heh. If we were having issues, I would definitely not ask you.” Jay chuckled and seemed to loosen up a bit. Kai mocked offense as he smiled.

“Why not!? I’m an expert in practically everything! I’m offended.”

“Yeah, yeah. Don’t get your hair in a twist.” Cole smirked as he pulled out a chair. Kai sat in it as Cole sat on the bed. Jay practically projected an entire war from his head between standing or sitting, before rushing to sit next to Cole. “We didn’t mean to worry you, this is kind of important, but it’s nothing like what you’re thinking. So, don’t worry.” Cole said.

“Okay. So what is this about?” Kai asked as he stared down the two. Cole fidgeted slightly and Jay was still, which was weird. Until suddenly Jay burst into a frantic motion waving his hands around and standing up.

“OKAY I’M JUST GONNA SAY IT!! We both kind of really really like you! And we were like, but we like each other!? But we talked, and were like, let’s ask him out together, is that weird? I DON’T KNOW! Sowemadeaplanandputitintomotion,and youansweredusandwewereexcitedbutalsosupernervousandIdon’twannamakethisweird,soI’msorryifitis!!” Jay inhaled a breath to continue but Cole covered his mouth with a furious blush.

“Jay!! What the heck!? That’s not what we planned!”

“I’m sorry I panicked!”

Kai stopped spinning in his chair and stared in shock. Did they really just…confess that they liked him!? Cole and Jay looked at him nervously and Jay slowly moved Cole’s hand away from his face.

“Are…are you mad?” Jay asked. Kai blinked and stood up.

“Uh…no! No, I'm not mad! Just…a little surprised. Honestly, this was probably the last thing I was expecting.”

“Sooo, is that a no?” Cole sounded disappointed, and Kai huffed in response.

“Stop, putting words in my mouth Rocky! I’m not mad, and this isn’t a no. Consider it…a maybe?” Kai smiled at the two, the other boys seemed to relax significantly. Though Jay looked a bit confused. “I’ll explain cause Jay looks confused.” Kai chuckled as Jay tried to protest.

“I’m not confused! I was just curious about what that entailed exactly!”

“Chill Sparky. I’ll explain. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really let myself think about you guys like that, since you two were my teammates, and then you were dating each other. But, I won’t lie and say I’m opposed to it. I’m pretty open to trying actually. So, how about this? I go on a date with both of you. Get to know you in that way a bit, see how we all like it. One date with each of you separately, and then maybe one together, if you’re up for it? Just a thought, we can talk about it more.” Kai shrugged. Jay jumped up immediately and shook his head.

“Yes! Yeah, sure! I’m okay with that! Uh…” Jay blushed as he realized how excited he seemed and stared at Cole. “If uh, you’re okay with that too Cole?” Cole smiled and grabbed Jay’s hand.

“Yeah. That sounds like a good plan. Thanks for being so chill Kai.” Kai gave one of his signature cocky smiles.

“This ain’t my first rodeo, not to brag. We’ll make further plans later, but I’m gonna go finish training. See you two later.” Kai gave a single wink as he shut the door and left the room. Jay and Cole were left blushing, hand in hand as they stared at the door. Then at each other. And then at the door.

“Was it just me or was that super hot about how chill he was?” Cole asked. Jay answered, his voice high pitched and shaky.

“No, yeah, yeah. Super hot.” Jay froze and gripped Cole’s hand tighter. “What am I gonna wear!?”

“Wha- you don’t even know where you’re going yet!?”

Chapter - 31

(Percy's POV)

We found ourselves in a trailer park at the edge of a lake. The trailers were all horse trailers, with televisions, mini refrigerators & mosquito netting. We were in a centaur camp.

“Dude!” said a party pony. “Did you see the bear guy? He was like: ‘Whoa, I have an arrow in my mouth!"

The centaur with the googly-eye glasses laughs. “That was awesome! Head slam!”

The two centaurs charged at each other full-force & knocked heads, then went staggering off in different directions with crazy grins on their faces.

Chiron sighed. He set Annabeth & Grover down on a picnic blanket next to me.

“I really wish my cousins wouldn’t slam their heads together. They don’t have the brain cells to spare.”

“Chiron,” I said, still stunned by the fact that he was here. “You saved us.”

He gave me a dry smile. “Well now, I couldn’t very well let you die, especially since you’ve cleared my name.”

“But how did you know where we were?” Annabeth asked.

“Advanced planning, my dear. I figured you would wash up near Miami if you made it out of the Sea of Monsters alive. Almost everything strange washes up near Miami.”

“Gee, thanks,” Grover mumbled.

“No, no,” Chiron said. “I didn’t mean...Oh, never mind. I am glad to see you, my young satyr. The point is, I was able to eavesdrop on Percy’s Iris-message & trace the signal. Iris & I have been friends for centuries. I asked her to alert me to any important commun-"

"Wait a minute. Where's Nora??" I asked, cutting Chiron off mid-sentence.

"She's fine, Percy. Don't worry." Chiron said pointing over to the campfire.

I looked over to where he pointed. Three party ponies were showing Tyson a paintball gun. While Nora sat beside him explaining how to use it. Her arm was still bleeding & wasn't bandaged..

“So what now?” I asked Chiron. “We just let Luke sail away? He’s got Kronos aboard that ship. Or parts of him, anyway.”

Chiron knelt, carefully folding his front legs underneath him. He opened the medicine pouch on his belt & started treating my wounds.

“I’m afraid, Percy, that today has been something of a draw. We didn’t have the strength of numbers to take that ship. Luke was not organized enough to pursue us. Nobody won.”

“But we got the Fleece!” Annabeth said. “Clarisse is on her way back to camp with it right now.”

Chiron nodded, though he still looked uneasy. “You are all true heroes. As soon as we get Percy fixed up, you must return to Half-Blood Hill. The centaurs will take you.”

“You’re coming, too?” I asked.

“Oh yes, Percy. I’ll be relieved to get home. My brethren here simply do not appreciate Dean Martin’s music. Besides, I must have a word with Mr. D. There’s the rest of the summer to plan, training to do. And I want to see...I’m curious about the Fleece.”

I didn’t know exactly what he meant, but it made me worried about what Luke said: I was going to let you take the Fleece..once I was done with it.

Had he just been lying?

I’d learned with Kronos there was usually a plan within a plan. The titan lord wasn’t called the Crooked One for nothing. He had ways of getting people to do what he wanted without them actually realizing his true intentions.

Over by the campfire, Tyson let loose with his paintball gun.

"Tyson!" Nora scolded him playfully as a blue projectile splattered against one of the centaurs, hurling him backward into the lake with a splash.

The centaur came up grinning, covered in swamp muck & blue paint, & gave Tyson two thumbs up.

“Annabeth,” Chiron said, “perhaps you and Grover would go supervise Tyson & my cousins before they, ah, teach each other too many bad habits? I know Nora is there, but she needs to be patched up & rested.”

Annabeth met his eyes. Some kind of understanding passed between them.

“Sure, Chiron,” Annabeth said. “Come on, goat boy.”

“But I don’t like paintball.”

“But you do like Nora. So shut up & let's go.” She hoisted Grover to his hooves & led him off toward the campfire.

Chiron finished bandaging my leg. “Percy, I had a talk with Annabeth on the way here. About the prophecy.”

Uh-oh, I thought.

“It wasn’t her fault,” I said. “I made her tell me.”

His eyes flickered with irritation. I was sure he was going to chew me out, but then his look turned to weariness.

“I suppose I could not expect to keep it secret forever.”

“So is it Nora or me in the prophecy?”

Chiron put the bandages back in his pouch. “I wish I knew, Percy. You two aren't sixteen yet. For now we must train you two as best we can, & leave the future to the Fates.”

The Fates. I hadn’t thought about those old ladies in a long time, but as soon as Chiron mentioned them, something clicked.

“That’s what it meant,” I said.

Chiron frowned. “That’s what what meant?”

“Last summer. The omen from the Fates, when I saw them snipping somebody’s life string. I thought it meant I was going to die right away, but it’s worse than that. It’s got something to do with your prophecy. The death they foretold-it’s going to happen when one of us is sixteen.”

Chiron’s tail whisked nervously. “My boy, you can’t be sure of that. We don’t even know who the prophecy is about.”

“But there isn’t any other half-blood child of the Big Three!”

“That we know of.”

“And Kronos is rising. He’s going to destroy Mount Olympus!”

“He will try,” Chiron agreed. “And Western Civilization along with it, if we don’t stop him. But we will stop him. You will not be alone in that fight.”

I knew he was trying to make me feel better, but I remembered what Annabeth had told me.

It would come down to one hero. A decision that would save or destroy the West. I knew the Fates had been giving me some kind of warning about that.

Something terrible was going to happen, either to me or to somebody I was close to.

“We're just kids, Chiron,” I said miserably. “What good are we against someone like Kronos?”

Chiron managed a smile. '”What good are you’? Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain said something like that to me once, just before he single-handedly changed the course of your Civil War.”

He pulled out an arrow from his quiver & turned the razor-sharp tip so it glinted in the firelight.

“Celestial bronze, Percy. An immortal weapon. What would happen if you shot this at a human?”

“Nothing,” I said. “It would pass right through.”

“That’s right,” he said. “Humans don’t exist on the same level as the immortals. They can’t even be hurt by our weapons. But you, Percy-you & Nora are part god, part human. You live in both worlds. You can be harmed by both, & you can affect both. That’s what makes heroes so special. You carry the hopes of humanity into the realm of the eternal. Monsters never die. They are reborn from the chaos & barbarism that bubbles underneath civilization, the stuff that makes Kronos stronger. They must be defeated again & again, kept at bay. Heroes embody that struggle. You fight the battles humanity must win, every generation, in order to stay human. Do you understand?”

“I...I don’t know.

“You must try, Percy. Because whether or not one of you is the child of the prophecy, Kronos thinks you might be. And after today, he will finally want to turn you both to his side. That is the only reason he hasn’t killed either of you yet. As soon as he’s sure he can’t use you, he will destroy you.”

“You talk like you know him.”

Chiron pursed his lips. “I do know him.”

I stared at him. I sometimes forgot just how old Chiron was. “Is that why Mr. D blamed you when the tree was poisoned? Why you said some people don’t trust you?”

“Indeed.”

“But, Chiron...c'mon! Why would they think you’d ever betray the camp for Kronos?”

Chiron’s eyes were deep brown, full of thousands of years of sadness.

“Percy, remember your training. And the mythology. What's my connection to the titan lord?”

I tried thinking, but I always got it mixed up. Even now, when it was so important to my own life, I had trouble keeping all the names & facts straight. I shook my head.

“You, uh, owe Kronos a favor or something? He spared your life?”

“Percy,” Chiron said, his voice impossibly soft. “The titan Kronos is my father.”

Not much to say here..

Although!

it’s ok guys valentine’s day is coming up and we can go CRAZY on our favorite ships 😄😄😄

in the meantime, what are some valentine’s day hcs for your favorite ships? i’ll start with mine!

robmo

- robbos a big nerd on all stuff movies so you bet that mo gave him a romantic movie night, and it wasn’t just like any other. like a cute cozy little pillow nest on the couch with some popcorn and chocolate.

Robbo got two great things. being in his muscular husbands arms AND watching a good movie. warra bargain!

- as for when the favor is returned, robbo got this beautiful necklace for Mo. it had a pharoh charm on it, and it was very cute. it was real gold, too.

robbo also gave mo the best night of his life……. on the ice skating rink! ☺️ robbo was doodoo at ice skating though, but no worries. mo helped him stay on his feet! (occasionally sweeping robbo off his feet sometimes)

virgisson:

- STARGAZING DATE!!!!! virgil takes ali out on a date to go watch things like meteor showers- it’s always so beautiful. virgil also sets up a picnic area so they can have dinner together while watching the beautiful sky above them. it was magical to say the least. afterwards alisson offered to drive them back home, and virgil feel asleep on the way back😭

thankfully ali was able to carry him back inside. Virgil was very cute when he’s all sleepy and cuddled up.

- ali does a little cooking date at home where him and virg cook pizza together. ofc virgil isn’t the best at cooking so ali helps him out a lot (ali enjoys it) and sometimes it gets a little messy… mainly cause of virgil spilling something. either way they both laugh about it (virgil chased ali around while COVERED in flour it was so funny

someone’s whenever virgil would be stirring something ali would do that thing where he hugs virgil from behind and rests his head on virgil’s shoulder. they do that sorta cuddling….

afterwards they both eat the pizza , and it’s actually edible! well i’ll be damned!

#tag me in robmo and virgisson stuff #ESPECIALLY ROBMO #football rpf

Imagine being Azula’s friend but secretly dating Zuko behind her back

One of the first things you and Azula bonded over was your annoying brothers. Azula told you how her brother had stolen one of her best friends away from her and you related to that. Your twin brother was none other than Sokka of the water tribe, who was also very popular with women. Most of the women you knew liked him, from Yue to Toph to Suki to Ty lee! It sometimes felt like you were the second attraction in a friendship and so you and Azula quickly became close over your shared frustrations.

Then....you betrayed her.

Well, betrayal is a bit dramatic but maybe not given how upset she'd been when Mai and Zuko started dating. You knew that had been hard for Azula to process. How difficult it had been wondering if her friends really liked her or just wanted access to her brother. So when you started liking Zuko you didn’t plan on acting on it at all. Then Mai broke up with him.

Zuko was around at yours quite often, whenever he visited the water tribe he stayed in your home and when you visited the fire nation he extended the same hospitality. So throughout the years, you just naturally got closer and closer until....it happened. You started hanging out just the two of you and these occasions felt very date-like until Zuko just outright asked you out. You liked him and told yourself one date was fine, what harm could a single date do? But then as you kept seeing each other and one date soon progressed into many many more you knew your time to do the right thing and tell Azula you were dating her brother was approaching.

However the idea of doing that idea terrified you. You guessed Azula wouldn’t take it well and didn’t want to lose your friendship with her because of your relationship with Zuko. You wouldn’t break up with Zuko just to make her happy but you also didn’t want to lose Azula’s friendship, so when Katara’s birthday arose you were fairly nervous. There was going to be a large party and all of Katara’s friends were coming...which included Zuko and Azula. You hadn’t been together with everyone since you and Zuko started dating so you had no idea how it would feel. The whole time you and Zuko would have to convincingly act like you weren’t a couple and not make anyone at the party suspicious of the two of you. So when Zuko’s ship got in you fixed your eyes on Azula and tried not to stare at him any more than usual. You greeted him formally and didn’t admire him as you usually would. You fell in step with Azula and decided just to focus on her. It wasn’t hard, you were best friends and very close...however fate was not on your side. You got seated across from him at dinner which felt like some sick punishment and struggled not to get lulled into conversation with him. It didn’t help that Zuko was in a playful mood. He kept making comments about the things you’d done on your date and then sending you sly looks across the table. When you met his eye he smirked blatantly and you lightly kicked him under the table. That only made Zuko chuckled and look adorable so you sighed and decided to just keep your eyes down the whole time to survive dinner.

However, Zuko had no intention of stopping his teasing. After dinner you set about preparing the party for Katara tomorrow and having sent Sokka, Aang, Suki, Azula and Toph on their assigned jobs turned to your job of decorating. You were hanging streamers in the living room when you felt a hand curl around your waist. “Need some help there?” Zuko asked moving closer and he leaned up over you to hang it. “I could have done that myself” you smiled turning to face him and Zuko shrugged “I know you could’ve, but then I wouldn’t have been able to do this”. Zuko gently kissed your neck trailing down to your collar bone making you sigh. “Zuko...stop” you said faint heartedly and Zuko sensed that smirking "I don’t want to and you don’t want me to either, I can tell by how softly you said my name" he smiled "it’s been so long since we’ve had any time together". Your skin erupted in goosebumps and a shiver went down your spine as Zuko pressed closer against you. But you knew how badly this could end if literally anyone walked in. So swiftly you grabbed Zuko’s hands and twisted your way out of them. You held them tightly in one hand so he couldn’t try and slink around you again and used the other to make him look at you "Zuko we can’t okay, not on this trip. God knows i want to, i’ve missed you too but there’s too much that could go wrong i’m sorry". Zuko sighed but nodded his head "don’t worry i understand". Zuko’s shoulders sagged and you knew your insistance on keeping this quiet was difficult for him. "Thank you for understanding" you said hugging him quickly "i know it can’t be easy for you and I appreciate the effort you're going to for me". Zuko smiled resting his head on top of yours "it’s fine, i’d do a lot more for you if you asked but promise me it won’t always be like this....we will tell everyone soon?". You gulped but nodded pulling away "i promise, i will tell Azula...soon!". Zuko nodded “I believe you” and let his hands drop away from you. Not a moment later Sokka and Aang appeared in the room making the two of you jump. “Zuko just the man we need! We were thinking of making an ice sculpture, fancy some fire bending?”. Zuko nodded “sure” and with a last glance to you left the room.

Hours later the party preparations finished you returned to your room which you were sharing with Azula for her visit. “Sokka made me blow up balloons” she said angrily “something about fire benders being full of hot air”. You smirked at your brother’s nerve when Azula’s next sentence wiped it off your face. "Also I think Zuko’s dating someone again" Azula said softly and you paused. "Ow really?" you asked and she nodded "he’s been spending a suspicious amount of time in the southern water tribe lately. Lots of visits which he claims are diplomatic but I can’t work out what he actually does here! He doesn’t know that many people and so it got me thinking, y/n do you think your brother and mine....". "No Sokka's still with Suki" you said shaking your head. Azula sighed “and it’s obviously not Katara, she and Aang are basically married, have you seen him hanging around anyone else? He doesn’t know many people so it should be easy to spot". You paused pretending to think but were really just trying to buy yourself time. "Honestly i don’t pay much attention to him when he visits" you said cleverly covering your back "but i will from now on and let you know". "Thank you y/n" Azula smiled. You smiled back relieved Azula didn’t suspect anything and let out a large breath you’d been holding for this entire conversation. You were now more than ready for sleep and got into bed hurriedly. You laid your head on your pillow and closed your eyes utterly exhausted.

"Goodnight y/n" Azula called and you nodded. You were very sleepy and after a long yawn smiled "good night Zuko".

You realised the name you’d said seconds after it came out of your mouth.

You froze

As did azula.

"Did you just call me Zuko...". You blinked "did i? I’m sure i said Azula". Azula was quiet for 2 seconds before she shot up "it’s you!" she cried "you're the one my brother’s dating!". "No Azula that’s crazy!!! We'd just been discussing Zuko, that’s why he was on my mind!". Azula shook her head "you're lying! I can tell by the tone of your voice! You’re the new girlfriend aren’t you?". You sighed "Azula i’m sorry i was going to tell you...". "I can’t believe you" Azula yelled and suddenly the door opened. "What’s wrong?" Sokka and Zuko asked bursting in “we heard yelling” and Azula glared. "You! Couldn't just have Mai huh? Had to take another one of my friends? How about when you’re done with y/n you try things with Ty lee?". "Ow she told you...." Zuko frowned awkwardly. "No i worked it out!” Azula spat “Y/n accidentally uttered your name because she’s so lovesick" Azula cried "you both make me sick" and she strode away slamming the front door hard as she exited the house.

After Azula left you all looked at one another unsure what to do or say next. "So...you two are a thing?" Sokka asked and Zuko paused "yes...is your reaction going to be as bad as Azula’s or can i go deal with her?". Sokka shook his head "go deal with her before she burns the village down”. Zuko went to move past Sokka when your brother put a hand to his chest "but come back and see me after, me and Katara will want to talk to you about dating our sister". Zuko surprisingly looked intimidated and nodded "I'll be right back". "Zuko wait i should come too" you called "this is as much my fault as yours". Zuko nodded "let’s go" and led you outside into the cold night after Azula.

You found Azula trekking in the snow and as she wasn’t in proper shoes you gained on her quickly. “Azula!” you called and she jumped. She looked around and glared “ow look the happy couple, how nice of you to grace me with your presence”. Zuko rolled his eyes “only you’d be so attention-seeking to make this about you”. “Attention seeking? Who’s the person who can’t form his own friendships or respect boundaries? No always have to date my friends, is it some weird way for you to gain power over me? A sad way to boost your ego?”. As Zuko and Azula went to square up to each other you stepped between them. “Alright enough the both of you! Zuko please go back to the house, i’ll handle this”. “But she...”. “Zuko please” you said sharply and he nodded “fine” and with a glare left. You watched him go before turning back to Azula. You’d been about to suggest you go home given that Azula was surely freezing out here in the middle of the night but Azula broke into a rant. "Everyone leaves me for him" she cried "Mai! My uncle! Mother! Even my father...after i was smarter, a better fire bender, more loyal and younger he still gave Zuko every little chance and only crowned me after Zuko literally ran away! When will i be good enough people don’t just choose him without a second thought for me?". "Azula i didn’t choose Zuko over you! Just because i like Zuko doesn’t mean i don’t like you still". "That may be true but this changes our friendship completely, it did with Mai! People always prioritise their partners over their friends so i’ll be second best once again". "Are you kidding?" you asked "Azula now i need you more than ever! Relationships aren’t when you ditch your friends, they’re when you need them the most! Who else are you going to go to for a break or a nice getaway? Who else is going to support and love you in only the platonic way a friend can? Who else can i complain about Zuko to when he annoys me or we fight?" you asked "they’re all things you need your friends for! Desperately and that’s going to be the same for me". "But when Mai dated him...". "But i’m not Mai" you smiled softly "Azula we are good friends, i won’t sideline you because of this. You mean just as much to me now as before i started dating Zuko". Azula huffed but you could see her melting. "So...how about we go inside, get some warm milk and talk a bit more about this huh?". You offered Azula your hand and she took it but she didn’t stop there. Azula threw her arms around you and hugged you tightly. "I’m partly doing this for the cold but thank you" she said softly "nobodies ever tried to make me feel supported when they've chosen Zuko, they just tell me to deal with it but you’re the first to try and reassure me and so i know you mean it, to still be my friend". "Of course" you smiled "you're my best friend!". Azula smiled and linked her arm through yours "i like that!”.

Zuko stared in awe as you and Azula returned grinning. "How did it go is everything okay?". You nodded "your extremely cool sister is fine with it". "Yes i thought this would be a great way to have an inside scoop on you zuzu". "She’s kidding i won’t talk to her about you...a lot". Zuko blinked "okay if everything's okay then i should go speak to Sokka and Katara, they’re waiting for me in the kitchen". Azula smiled "that’s a good idea, when you come back zuzu find me, i have some threats about what will happen if you hurt my best friend". You smiled at Azula and stepped to Zuko "good luck but don’t worry Sokka’s all bite, Katara’s the one to look out for but she has a big heart, just tell her how good a time we’ve had and you’ll be fine". "Good tips, any for my sister?". You smiled "Azula is one i have not worked out yet" you grinned "but i’m sure you’ll manage, you are the firelord after all". Zuko smirked and you patted his shoulder "after your appointment with my brother and sister and then your sister....you could always come find me in your room?". Zuko smiled "is that my motivation for surviving this?". You shrugged "you can think of it as that" and stepped away from him. Zuko watched you before sighing "alright let’s get this over with” he said loudly and strode towards the kitchen.

You turned back to Azula who raised an eyebrow at Zuko’s sudden confidence and she frowned. "Do i even want to know?" Azula asked and you shook your head "no". “Ow and don’t worry if I’m not in our room tonight”. “Euch Y/n!” Azula cried and you shrugged “what? I didn’t say why”. “I know why” she sighed before she smiled “at least I can have your bigger bed”. “Be my guest” you smiled, you had a firelord to get reacquainted with.

Late Winter Gardening--Why to think about gardens now

Ah yes it is the time for those of us in the northern hemisphere, or at least certainly my subtropical midlatitudes, to start planning gardens. Well, executing them, actually, if you mean to start things indoors from seed or do much infrastructure work in advance. As I want more people to garden and garden successfully, guess I’ll talk a bit.

Why do you have to think about gardening when it’s still freezing outside on the regular? Well for example, if you want to grow any of the myriad awesome, crazy pepper varieties out there, pepper plants should be started indoors, because otherwise much of the US and Europe has too short a growing season to get much from a pepper plant started in the ground after last frost.

Last frost--an important term. What it actually means is the statistical average last frost. You can readily search this information, but you want to do it specific to your local area. Mine, for example, is later than it would be only half an hour directly east, because of my proximity to the mountains. It’s mid-May. You should also be able to find statistical information for what the *likelihood* of frost on any given spring date is, if you want to take a little risk to push the season a bit earlier, perhaps using cold protection like cloches or row covers.

So peppers, you start roughly 8 weeks before last frost. For me, that makes late March. I need seed, soil, and light ready to go by late March. (If you miss a deadline, unless you’ve missed it by a month or more, I personally would just go ahead. Just means you won’t get optimal growth.) Which is why you need to plan your garden and get seed basically now.

Seed! Everyone’s favorite subject. Seed is the ultimate symbol of hope and potential, the store of some of the best and most beloved elements of culture, family, and the enduring strength of life. Maybe god is a seed. But not big box store seed. Don’t get that crap unless you completely fail to plan at all.

The ideal is to find a regional seed house, because they will be growing out and offering varieties that work specifically in your climate. I would maybe try searching “seed house + state/neighboring state/region” Also, they will likely be very passionate and offer good information about gardening specific to your area.

Here in Maryland, I am very fond of Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, which is based in Virginia, and Experimental Farm Network, out of Pennsylvania. Both use their own networks of local farmers to trial and grow the seed they offer. But especially with the booming popularity of gardening since Covid, seed houses, especially small ones, don’t exactly ship overnight. Last year, there was all sorts of wild shit. Companies would only have their websites up three days a week, or you’d have to waitlist while they packeted up more of a variety. Popular stuff just ran out. Shipping took...a while. So it’s not the time to dawdle.

Even if you’re not starting anything indoors (which honestly I consider kind of an intermediate level skill), you still need to plan what you’re going to grow (what do you use + what do you want to try / amount of space you have) and prepare your space, like for example by composting and mulching it before the weeds start coming up in spring. But it turns out this was a long-ass post and I have shit to do, like plan my garden and seed shop, so those are topics for another post.

#dropping me a comment or message that you would like a given post on gardening #greatly increases the chances that it will happen soon #or at all let's be real #gardening #red homesteads #realistically I need to like #do dishes and set up math lessons #but seeds do sound more fun

i really have never seen anything quite like the power of fandom continuing to show up and make excuses for absolute pos male characters because they’re objectively ~~attractive.

ohhhhh poor nick goode !! so pressured by his family’s expectations !!! if you read between the lines deep down he obviously still loved ziggy !!!

like…. my god. i shipped them too in 1978, but that was before we found out that he and his entire family knowingly lived off a deal their ancestor made that continuously sacrificed people year after year from the “wrong side of town”, all in the name of keeping sunnyvale the quintessential seat of wealth and prosperity.

that abundance was built off the literal blood sacrifice of people who unwillingly lost their lives all because the greed of one bloodline. because solomon goode wanted more.

nick was 110% content to let things continue on as they were- dooming hundreds of ordinary citizens to lifetimes of bad luck and misery and tragedy, all so his own family could selfishly continue to prosper like they had for years. ziggy probably lived for years with what had happened at camp nightwing weighing on her. the paranoia, the drinking, the obsessiveness- all signs of major PTSD. you don’t let someone you love live like that. ziggy saw her sister die in front of her, sacrificing herself because cindy thought she could stop the curse and give her sister a good life- a life of freedom from the “curse” they all believed sara fier put on shadyside. he brought her back to life, he wanted her. wanted her with a kind of selfishness that let her live in a nightmare long after the ambulance drove her out of camp nightwing. because she told him it was the curse, and was probably so hurt when nothing came of it. when everyone just assumed tommy went crazy, killed his girlfriend and a bunch of others. she probably felt broken and betrayed and a thousand other things, on top of living with the memory of the flashes of knowledge she received when her blood dripped onto sarah’s hand bone- stuff she didn’t even fully understand. nick could’ve validated her. nick could’ve supported her, backed her up. but nick said absolutely nothing. nick did nothing. NICK CHOSE TO SAY AND DO NOTHING, because in reality, he knew it was all realer than real- knew that his own ancestor was the originator of the curse, that the goode family kept it going from solomon up until then and even beyond that afterwards.

in 1978, ziggy said to him, “do you believe me?”. and he looked her right in the eye, while fellow campers, innocent people were being murdered and said “yes”, knowing FULL WELL HIS FAMILY WAS THE REASON THOSE CHILDREN WERE BEING SLAUGHTERED. just because they were deemed a necessary sacrifice to continue the unceasing prosperity of sunnyvale, and had the bad luck of being from the shadyside. while she was covered in blood and begging him to believe her, he already knew what was happening and why.

maybe some part of nick faltered at the sheer violence and carnage his family wreaked over time. maybe he had times where he doubted everything that was happening- but the fact is, people died because of him and his family. cindy died. but ziggy made it. becuause ziggy was pretty, because he liked her, because he thought she was different than the other people from shadyside, the ones he and his family deemed as expendable for their own gain.

but it’s like the widow said- making a deal with the devil is a CHOICE.

nick lived in the wealth his bloodline provided him. nothing that was earned, just built off the literal blood sacrifice of others. nick CHOSE to continue that. he wasn’t asking probing questions to deena, sam, simon, kate, and josh because he wanted to get down to the truth of what really happened- BECAUSE HE ALREADY KNEW. he just wanted to know how close they were to the truth. the truth of how much blood was on his and his family’s hands.

he called deena a d*ke, would’ve ended ziggy no matter how much of a crush he had on her, just to continue the whole frickin’ thing. to keep it going. he was just as selfish and greedy as solomon was.

nick goode was evil, but he had a pretty face, right? so viewers will keep searching for a reason for even a modicum of good in him. young nick and ziggy were adorable, so people can’t accept that he CHOSE to hurt her. like ziggy would ever fucking be okay with this man getting away with it all- she may have liked nick, but she LOVED her sister.

stop doing ziggy a disservice by trying to find some sort of overly multidimensional spin on nick. i’ll admit, i had a moment after i finished all 3 movies where i was like, damn, it sucks ziggy and nick didn’t make it, they had chemistry. and then i wanted to slap my hand on my forehead, because i was completely missing the point. fear street has an unexpected beauty to it because of the love characters have for each other- deena and josh, cindy and ziggy, sara and hannah, etc. it’s unselfish and pure and stubborn and all encompassing, it drives them and those characters would do so much for the ones they love.

nick’s “love” for ziggy, if you can even call it that, was not that type of life. it was selfish, and it was based on lies. even though she had a prickly exterior, ziggy obviously cared for others- hell, sheila strung her up and burned her and she still went back and risked her life to help her. nick presented as if he was also that way, as well as an outsider in his own life, someone who didn’t fit in. and maybe nick didn’t. maybe nick really struggled deep down with the curse. but in the end, nick made choices. just like solomon made the choice to deal with the devil, nick chose to let ziggy live in self-doubt and fear. nick chose to be selfish, to protect his family’s own interests.

you can still have chemistry with people who suck, that’s the catch of life. monsters can have attractive faces too. but to try to dive deep into nick’s character like he was eternally stuck as the conflicted teenage boy who wasn’t sure if he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, even when he held a gun to ziggy’s head… ugh.

stop making excuses for the fucked up shit male characters do. they may look good, they may have been possible love interests, but why on god’s earth would you blatantly ignore the fact that someone like nick CHOOSE to continue the cycle solomon started so many years ago??

why is it so important to find reasons to explain away nick’s abhorrent behaviour? because teen nick and ziggy were cute? you can acknowledge that but still be able to point out nick’s deceit, his selfishness.

idk man this phenomenon is… troubling to say the least.

Better than gold

Well, this is the first part of the story; I accidently made it very spicy. I had it done, and then I started writing the second part. I added a lot of stuff, and it ended up extra spicy. The second part is worst. The second part is very very very extra spicy not smut though not yet.

P.S. I know that Techno has said he is uncomfortable with shipping with other streamers. I know some people have said that he doesn't like nsfw; however I haven't found anything where he says that. BUT if any of you have a clip of it send it to me and I will gladly change the story. The NSFW part of the story is not too important so I can change it without a problem. Make something very very fluffy.

Summary: Techno has always been attracted to you and you are equally affected by him. Both of your feelings intensify when you suddenly must live with his family. How will he be able to control himself when the voices go crazy when he is close to you. How can you avoid the pretty eyes that follow your every step and every curve?

Pairing: Technoblade x fem!reader

Warnings: Suggestive ( mentions of morning wood, sexual thoughts, sex dreams), NSFW ( in future chapters), The voices really, really like you. The voices are shameless.

The voices talk in italic.

Prologue

Part I ( you are here now)

Part II

Part III

Part I

Taking a note of the last mentioned Philza made sure to observe your interactions with Techno. Even now at 19 and 18 years old you both maintain the cute stares, blushes and giggles when you talked. However, things were going to change soon. When a specific someone grows old enough to have heats.

P.O.V. Technoblade

I woke up to the sound of Tommy yelling something about breakfast, and how I should get up before he eats it all. I got the covers out of my body and stared down at the bulge in my pants it was getting annoying how this had been happening for a whole week. I had been waking up from the most vivid dreams for a week. The dreams had one thing in common y/n was always the protagonist, and to make this worst I always woke up with a raging hard on. Taking a deep breath; I made my way to the bathroom for a quick shower; I felt something bump into my chest. My eyes follow the track of who is in front of me finding y/n’s eyes staring back at me. I feel like my breath got stuck in my throat as I watch her hold onto her towel; small drops of water sliding down her neck following the lines of her pretty collar slowly sliding past her collarbone. My eyes follow the drop until it gets lost in the small cleavage seen; the drop gets lost past my point of view, and I find myself wishing I would see just where that drop is going to end up in. Surprised at the thought that came to my mind. Normally the vulgar thoughts were controllable, but today I just could not keep my eyes off her.

We want to see, let us see, I’m pretty sure that drop is going down her stomach, we need to see, let us taste, taste, TASTE.

The voices are quick to state their opinions as I try my best to stop my mind’s wondering, but it is too late as I felt my cock pulsate at the vulgar thoughts. I dismissed the feeling remembering that we are in the hallway just outside the bathroom.

It would take us only two steps to get them into the bathroom with us, get them into the bathroom with us, let’s see where that drop lead to, let’s show her what she has been doing in our dreams.

My mind comes back to the reality when I see her lips moving, and before the voices can comment I reply to her apology.

-Don’t worry about it; I just got distracted- My voice rough as I make my way into the bathroom. However, the voices don’t miss the way her breast push softly against my arm, and neither does my cock as it pulses yet again angry at the lack of attention is receiving. I close the bathroom door softly breathing in as the voices chant about her breast pushing against me.

Soft, soft, want to touch, soft, touch, squeeze, TOUCH, squeeze is better, SQUEEZE.

I quickly hop in the shower; trying to shut down the voices. I shut my eyes as the cold water falls from my body. Feeling as it almost burns against my hot skin. Fast breaths leave my mouth as I try to calm myself down from the pain in my lower parts. After my shower I go back to my room, and get dressed going downstairs to eat some breakfast.

I hope they made golden carrots, want golden carrots, carrots are good.

My eyebrows frowned at the voices asking for carrots, and the desire to eat carrots. Eating breakfast quickly (bread and berries) feeling slightly disappointed as I wanted carrot. Phil mentioned something about needing to get some blaze rods. Hoping that one of us would get them.

-Techno, Y/n can the two of you go get the blaze rods? I really need them- Phil said. Sighing I looked over at y/n who looked ready for the adventure.

- Well why can’t one of us just go? It would be quicker - I asked softly; taking note of y/n’s soft shivering at the rumble of my voice.

Nice she likes it, she likes us, talk in her ear, let’s see her reaction.

“It’s better if two of you go. That way I know nothing bad will happen. You two can leave tomorrow make sure you rest well.” Phil stated. The conversation ending quickly after that.

“Well, until then I’m going to make some golden carrots.” I stated softly. Earning a weird look from Philza.

“Techno you have 45 golden carrots left.” Philza said slowly.

“I… just want more carrots.” I said softly earning a concerned look from Philza.

“Well, I can help you get carrots Tech.” My head moved quickly at the sound of y/n’s voice.

Yes she needs to be with us, we want her close, keep her close.

“That sounds good, you can help me collect them.” I said noticing how my voice deepened slightly as I talked to her.

“Eh y/n? could you give me a moment with Techno?” Philza asked looking between y/n and I.

“Sure, I’ll go get ready to pick the carrots.” She said starting to walk upstairs.

You're gonna fry your brain.

Hello everyone, since it's finals season and we're all probably really dead inside, I decided to self indulge in some tattoo artist! Sukuna writing, so here's this brainrot that won't let me focus on studying. You can read more of this au in the au masterlist.

I've been trying so hard to finish up a bartender! Dabi fic I have in the works for too long, hopefully I can get around to it too. After finals are done I'll be writing a lot more that's for sure.

Tattoo artist! Sukuna x f!reader

Warnings: language, suggestive tones, that's it.

Finals are by far the worst thing about college, y/n knows that the hard way. She's been stressing herself out for the past few days, maybe weeks, going over the same material again and again. She'd constantly argue that she really needs to pass with an high grade that's why she's so obsessive over it.

Sukuna had tried multiple times to help her ease her nerves, he's been there, although he was the type who never really stuck his nose in a book for too long, regardless, his best girl needed a break, no matter how hard she denied it.

Y/n had declined his invitations of going out, she dropped by the shop a few times, bringing Sukuna some food, but he could tell she was slowly burning herself up.

Today was no different, y/n had been writing everything down all day to help memorize it better. So many hours has passed since she started her study session but she didn't even notice that her clock read 8 pm already.

Sukuna did notice, y/n had been barely responding back to his texts and it was time he took matters into his own hands.

The earpiercing doorbell pulled y/n out of her trance like state, she quickly got up from her desk to go and get rid of whoever just rung it.

"Dollface, I was beginning to think you had died in there."

There was Sukuna, leaning in her doorframe, looking as good as he always did, in a plan white t shirt and a gray pair of sweatpants, holding a few bags and a huge basket.

"not quite, what's all this?"

Y/n motioned to the bags he had.

"Nothing much, just some things I picked up for you, will you let me in? this basket is fucking heavy."

No, the basket wasn't that heavy, Sukuna could carry it just fine, he just wanted to make sure that y/n didn't have a chance to deny him.

Y/n stepped aside to let Sukuna in, and he went straight to her kitchen, dropping his bags on the table.

"Thanks for dropping by babe, but I really need to finish the last three chapters I have left."

"Y/n, you're going to fry your brain at this rate, no more studying for today."

"But-"

"No buts, you won't read another sentence today. We're destressing together."

Turns out, Sukuna had brought over many different things. He's not the type of guy to shy away from anything, so the first thing he did was to grab y/n and drag her into her bathroom.

Sukuna had taken mental notes the first time he looked through y/n's skincare products, he was able to determine her skin type and he went a bit crazy, buying her different things to try out.

"You are insane, that's drunk elephant, why did you get this many things?"

"Because you have the really terrible cheap stuff, now shut up you're going to eat the soap if you keep talking with cleanser all over your face."

Now, y/n's skincare wasn't bad, Sukuna had expensive taste and he's a bit of a brand snob

Sukuna gently poked her cheek with a smile as y/n's face distorted because she had in fact tasted the cleanser and Sukuna could only laugh at her before she flicked some into his mouth too.

"Don't kiss me with a face mask on you brat"

Y/n let out a soft laugh, Sukuna was doing his best to concentrate at the task at hand. Matching y/n's nail polish to his. Y/n had just finished painting his, matte black like he requested but y/n gave him some white polish on his ring finger. Sukuna had argued for a bit, saying it didn't look good and that he didn't like it, but gave in after y/n gave him a puppy face, can you blame him?

"But you look so cute like that."

Y/n complained, knowing that this little comment was going to feed Sukuna's ego more.

"I know doll, but artificial orange doesn't taste as good as it smells."

Y/n once again wasn't wrong, his cocky attitude always creeped in at times, not that she minded.

Time passed fast with watching trash reality shows on y/n's couch, after their very own self care day, Sukuna made sure to fix something they could both eat. Now they were engolved in each others arms, y/n's sleepy eyes staring up at him.

"How are you feeling, doll?"

Sukuna's hand found her hair, gently resting on top of her head.

"Much better, you're the best you know that?"

"I've heard it once or twice, I'll give you reasons to say it more often"

He gave her a gentle smile, leaning closer to steal a kiss, a little more intimate than the ones they shared earlier.

" 'Kuna, I'm sorry I was so stressed and distant this week, I probably worried you-"

"Don't be stupid, it's ok, I just want you to know I'm here for you, and it's just finals. You're a smart cookie, I'm sure you'll do great."

Y/n found his words reassuring and nuzzled closer to him, letting her lungs burn with his scent that never got less intoxicating.

"Thank you 'kuna, what would I do without you?"

The last few words came out slurred, but Sukuna understood everything, y/n's breathing got steadier against him.

"I don't know doll I'm just glad to have you here, I promised to take good care of you."

And just like that, y/n was fast asleep next to him, he didn't mind her uncomfortable couch one bit all he cared about was how at peace she looked. Maybe he would move her to her bed later, he couldn't bring himself to do it now.

The next morning, y/n found herself on her bed, Sukuna had almost woken her up getting ready before he left to go to work, but he managed to put her right back to sleep with a kiss on the forehead and a light "don't wake up yet doll".

Y/n made her way to the kitchen, Sukuna usually left a little letter for her on the nightstand by the bed, he must've been in a rush today.

Not quite the case.

Sukuna not only made her, her favourite breakfast, he also left post it notes in some places.

You suck at food shopping, thank me later.

Was written on her fridge.

So that's what all the bags were for, y/n didn't find out last night because of how tired she was, and how much fun she had being around sukuna.

He had filled up her fridge with everything she ever needed to make a meal for herself or have a snack. Let's be honest Sukuna just wanted to cook for her again.

Another post it was found in her bathroom cabinet.

You're probably gonna get mad at me for this but I'm not sorry, you deserve it.

The poor cabinet was stuffed to the brim with brand name skincare that made anyone's wallet scream in anguish and a lot of bathbombs. Upon closer look y/n almost cried at how attentive Sukuna was, he took extra care to look out for her skins needs.

Y/n found the last post it on her desk while she did her revision.

Don't overwork yourself doll, you've got me for that.

Y/n brought Sukuna cupcakes from seven different bakeries to try that day.

Bonus Domain shenanigans: "Sukuna left early again?"

Megumi asked, the day had been going pretty slow he wasn't surprised his friend dipped.

"Yeah, he left this behind though."

Geto held up a very nice looking white shop bag, a slight glimmer in his eye let the rest of his friends know he planned something.

"So? What's in it anyways?"

Gojo was resting his chin on his hand, blank expression on his face, completely unamused by Geto's discovery.

"Give me that"

Nanami swiftly snatched the bag, curious to see what was inside of it. He reached in and retrieved several wrapped round objects.

"Bathbombs?"

He questioned puzzled, but then his lips tugged upward.

Megumi, Nanami, Gojo and Geto, each got two bathbombs, and even though they would outright say it, they were pretty damn exited to drop them in their bathtubs. That's what Sukuna gets for avoiding clean up.

Sukuna entered the shop barely greeting anyone and begun looking around. Fuck he was looking for something, everyone tried to keep their composure.

"Have you seen a white bag?"

He finally looked at the group of men before him.

"like a backpack? No "

Megumi spoke, Sukuna begun thinking he was remembering everything wrong, that's untill he saw something sticking out of Geto's pocket. That's for sure a bathbomb he bought for y/n

"You motherfuckers, how low can you stoop to steal my girls bathbombs?"

Hey it's me again, though I'd add that here, if you have specific skin demands I tried to cover that in here so everyone can enjoy it, I have lots of allergies and skin concerns so I'm kinda sensitive to that stuff. Hope you had fun reading, remember to take it easy, untill next time :>

Dirty Secret - Luffy x Reader

Decided to post something from my drafts for now while I recover, I’ll be posting requests soon!

D - Dirty Secret

Synopsis: He had never fully understood why he was attracted to... that, that THING. It shocked him, confused him and made his stomach twist in such a strange way.

Warnings: NSFW

Why was he like this? Luffy began to pace around the ship before he finally settled on the top of the Sunny’s head to think some things through. All he was able to think about was them, and them only. It had confused the strange captain and had made it where he didn’t think he could do anything else. While he still had a monstrous appetite he had felt a difference in himself. While he had these strange feelings, there seemed to be only one thing that seemed to press those feelings down for a while, and that was his little secret. Something he didn’t want to let out. The usually goofy, open captain stayed reserved on one matter when it concerned himself. He knew that some of his crew mates were slowly growing more concerned for their captain as the days progressed. And as more time passed, the more Luffy was doing it.

This.

He remembered the last time he had done this, it had only been a few hours ago. Sanji had talked to him at one point about how intimacy works and how people work when they’re together. In fact, he wasn’t as oblivious as his crew would assume. While he was still confused over his feelings, he was still aware that they were there and what they stood for. But naive? He wasn’t fully that after all of his late night conversations with Sanji and even Franky at times too.

What exactly was he doing? Well, he hated to admit it since it seemed a bit dubious, lecherous and made his heart feel strange for weird reasons, but this was all he could think about doing.

“Oi! Captain, are you alright?” Luffy heard them ask him, and when he turned around to see them, his heart started to flutter in his chest and he smiled.

“Yeah! Can we play a game?” Luffy asked his crew mate. He was answered with a smile and that was where it all began again. His guilty pleasure. He would play with them, Usopp and Chopper before he fell against the ground of the Sunny with a large grin plastered on his face.

It was time for that. Well, part of it at least.

“Captain, do you want to lay your head on my lap? The ground isn’t that comfortable,” They said in worry, and the captain seemed to perk up at that. They were the one offering, so it was alright, right? Luffy didn’t seem to be too sure, but he moved to rest his head on their lap and look up at them with his large grin still on his face. “That better?” They chuckled as they gently brushed some of Luffy’s hair away from his face.

Luffy smiled and relaxed in his favorite spot in the whole world. This was his dirty secret. While it wasn’t as evil as some would think, he loved this spot, the spot on their lap where he could feel any stress melt away.

“Captain, you seem to be happy now,” they chuckled which brought an even bigger smile to Luffy’s lips as he covered his face with his hat.

“Yeah! Thank you!” Luffy smiled. Luffy didn’t want to admit that he treasured moments like this and remembered them very clearly. After their game was over, he slipped away from the group and went into the bathroom. He locked himself in before he quickly pulled his shorts down and leaned back against the door. His breath was heavy and his eyes felt weighted and tired. He closed his eyes and indulged in his little secret again.

His hand slowly moved as he thought about them. Not just the way how smooth their legs felt, and how warm they were to him. But their strength also drew him in. Their muscles, their smile, they were driving the poor captain crazy. His breath hitched when he felt himself getting closer, his thoughts started to wander and soon he was picturing something else.

He imagined softly pinning them to the ground, seeing their face contorted with pleasure because of him and what he was doing to them. Their shallow breath, their arched back and them softly asking Luffy to give them more. That drove them over the edge. With a small shout, Luffy finished all over his hand and felt himself slowly fall back against the ground as he caught his breath. He looked at the mess in his hands and slowly felt himself get more grossed out. He really needed to talk to them soon, ask them why this was happening to him, he was loosing his mind.

Smile

Star: Kim Yoohyeon (Dreamcatcher)

Idea: Yes

Love: Hiii, could I ask for a scenarios about Yoohyeon and reader having a good smile? Where Yoohyeon got attracted to reader because she has a good smile. And they are super fluffy because yoohyeon is all lovey dovey because she loves her so much. Sorry if it’s confusing you can ask me for a change if you want! Thanks

A/n: This was really cute, hope you like how I made it love

There were certain things that Yoohyeon enjoyed in her life.

First, she enjoyed being with her family, spending time with them during holidays. Going home to their warm greeting always made her happy. Secondly, she enjoyed her job, because she got to spend it with six of the most amazing girls in the world.

To be able to perform in front of hundreds of fans, singing their hearts out as they danced the night away. She lived for the adrenaline and excitement that came with it, as well as the love that their fans would give them.

However, at the end of the day, she only lived for one smile that always made her happy.

Yoohyeon opened her eyes, a small groan leaving her lips when the rays of the sun beamed onto her face. The puppy rubbed her eyes, her hand landing on the pair wrapped around her waist.

A small smile graced her lips as she turned around to meet your sleepy features.

Her smile grew when she saw how peaceful you looked. Raising her finger, Yoohyeon traced your features carefully, enjoying the feeling of soft skin under her fingertip. She somehow found herself doing the same thing every morning.

Waking up purposely earlier than you, spending a few minutes watching you sleep, delighting when she realized how lucky she could be.

Sure, she had fame, money, talent, and friends. But she could never believe that she would be able to find someone like you, to have such a wonderful partner that would always be there for her.

To have her nights spent with you, limbs tangled around each other as you gave her the warmth she needed. The days she spent inside your arms, allowing you to ease all the stress that she encountered. The small kisses you would leave on her forehead, cheeks, and head.

She was never the person to express her feelings well, sometimes opting to stay silent, nervously trying to push herself to initiate some type of word or skin ship. But with you, she was free, never hesitating to give you a kiss or a hug.

It was almost as if you gave her a key to her restraints, freeing her to do whatever she wished when you were with her. The amount of love she received from you was enough to fill her heart, which in return she would show you the same, if not more than the amount she received.

It was her way of saying thank you for everything that you’ve shown and continued to show her.

While Yoohyeon continued to admire you happily, she became too lost in the glee, failing to notice your eyes open.

You adjusted your eyes to the light, blinking until you were met by your girlfriend’s smile. Looking at her, you smiled back. However, she didn’t seem to notice you.

A small giggle escaped your lips, and you leaned closer, pressing a soft kiss against her nose.

When you pulled away, she still hadn’t noticed, so you leaned in once more. You gave her kiss after kiss, kissing the tip of her nose.

The puppy hadn’t noticed until you moved to her cheeks, a small giggle escaping her lips when she felt a ticklish sensation. Blinking her eyes, Yoohyeon met your smiling face, a toothy smile on your lips as you looked at her.

"Good morning,"

Your raspy voice brought chills, your hand raised until you cupped her cheek. Yoohyeon leaned into your touch, feeling your thumb graze her skin, a familiar tingling sensation forming in the pit of her stomach.

It was the tenderness of your touch that managed to make her full, almost feeling overwhelmed by the love you made her feel.

When she was in your arms, she melted, allowing you to hold her like she was still a young baby. With you she was small, yet she was safe, she felt vulnerable yet comfortable.

"Good morning to you too,"

She kept her eyes closed, but she knew she was smiling. Your hand had not left your cheek, spending the next few minutes in silence.

That is until the door burst open and a very loud chic came in to disturb your morning, "Yoohyeon! We have schedu--"

The loud girl was quickly pulled away by her shirt, flinging her out of the room. Then Minji peeked her head from the side, reaching for the doorknob as she looked at both of you, "Sorry for that, she woke up excited,"

You raised your head with a smile, while Yoohyeon had a pink tint growing on her cheeks.

"But she’s right. Yoohyeon, manager will pick us up in fifteen minutes."

Her voice was much more hushed than the other girl, closing the door gently before hearing Bora’s laugh through the door.

A giggle left your lips. Turning your head towards your girlfriend, you saw the pink hue on her cheeks. Your smile widened, leaning closer to her and giving the pink spot a small kiss, "I’ll go first," you whispered, pulling away as you sauntered to the bathroom.

The puppy fell back on the bed, clutching the covers as a dreamy sigh escaped her lips. This was the luxury that she got to experience every morning. Being able to wake up to see your smile, having small intimate moments with you, the tenderness and the softness.

She was puzzled, considering everything that was going on in her life. Yoohyeon wouldn’t think that coming home or spending a day off in your arms was something that she wished for every single day.

A part of her was cringing at how lovesick she was. She was aware of that. But honestly, one glance at you convinced her why.

Every time she saw you, it reminded her of the first time you two met.

Yoohyeon was walking Pie in the park, enjoying her day off as she walked the puppy.

She took a seat on the nearest bench, letting the little pup run around, enjoying the sunlight that peeked through the trees above her.

Then she noticed another person walking in the park, seemingly enjoying the nice day. Yoohyeon lowered her cap as she adjusted her mask properly on her face.

Sitting beside her, you hadn’t thought anything about the girl beside you.

You noticed her, but you didn’t say anything, letting the girl have her privacy. But you noticed how she kept fidgeting her hands and staring at her dog in silence before calling her over.

The puppy turned its head towards her owner, barking before she ran toward Yoohyeon.

However, upon catching sight of the new person, Pie ran towards you instead.

The puppy stood up on her hind legs, pawing at your pants, barking excitedly at your presence. While you were amused that the puppy had approached you, Yoohyeon was embarrassed.

You lowered yourself towards the puppy, allowing her to stand on your shoes and lick the tip of your nose. A small giggle escaped your lips, feeling ticklish because of the kisses before you glanced at the owner beside you.

Through her mask, you could see how apologetic she was, but you merely smiled at her.

Yoohyeon seemed to get even redder because of that. It was like every romantic scene that she had read.

She felt her breath hitch as if time slowed down and she only focused on you. She had never seen a smile so perfect before. A smile that made her insides feel excited. She thought it only happened in movies.

The puppy was enamored, the kind smile doing all sorts of crazy things to her.

But she quickly snapped out of it, breaking eye contact as she took the puppy from you, holding Pie in her arms. Yoohyeon muttered a short apology before she walked the other way.

She could feel her heart beating a million miles a second. However, she didn’t feel nervous. Yoohyeon felt happy, a sense of satisfaction after that short interaction.

She didn’t know it yet, but as she left the park, that brief exchange would be something that she would never regret.

The next day, she found herself sitting on the same bench, letting Pie run around as she watched from a distance. She did, however, spend the time being distracted in her mind.

She couldn’t get the image of your smile out of her head.

It seemed so calming for Yoohyeon, but it weirded her out that she was suddenly having thoughts about a person she hadn’t known, and her questions wouldn’t get answered when she suddenly heard her dog barking beside her.

Blinking her eyes, Yoohyeon saw Pie once again pawing at your legs. While you lower your hand, petting her head.

She watched the scene before her, your giggles echoing in her ears as the small dog kept trying to lick your hand.

Then, after a few minutes, you turned your head, a smile gracing your lips as you looked at the owner, "Your dog is really cute."

"Hey,"

Yoohyeon opened her eyes, meeting your amused ones when you saw her smiling alone on the bed, "What’s got you all smiley?" You asked, her smile not disappearing before she sat up, hopping off the bed and giving you a sweet kiss.

"Nothing, I remembered something funny," she excused, skipping her way to the bathroom with a smile.

Your brow furrowed, stunned by the unexpected kiss. Though your lips elicited a chuckle, your girlfriend did have a knack for being weird, but you still love her nonetheless.
