ajfpasf this took me forever to decide :’) so there are actually 12 and not 10 I’m so sorry.
1. jane eyre / this novel got me into reading, writing and studying literature so I’m eternally grateful for it. jane is a badass. she will not be caged. also rochester is an asshole and doesn’t deserve her.
2. bucky barnes (marvel) / I’m not into marvel that much anymore, but bucky will always have a special place in my heart, he is such a fascinating character and I will eternally love him and devote my soul to him. even my dad knows him too well (he took me to see civil war and i cried a lot) protect him at all costs. also fuck me up long-haired red shirt civil war bucky
3. jesse pinkman (breaking bad) / have I ever cried more tears for a fictional character? i dont think so. I couldve put anyone from this show (hANK SCHRADER???? MIKE?????? GUS???!?!! SKYLER???!?!?!!!!!!) but jesse... yeah. he’s my broken little dork and I still weep for him regularly.
4. joel miller (the last of us) / that goes without saying....w tf..... joel miller has had a chokehold on me since 2015 and he will never leave me. the tears I wept. the hURT I have felt. he is so special to me and his voice, his actions, his very being has influenced me to the core. I could write an entire thesis on this man.

6. jack from marrowbone / those who haven’t seen this movie just watch it... you’ll never be the same. what the fuck. I’m still not over it. wtf.

8. fred and george weasley / they come as a pair ok fight me.... but those two. oof. their writer is a piece of shit that deserves the worst but gred and forge deserve the best. I will never forgive and I will never forget™️. they were also the objects of my first official fanfic which gave me confidence in writing so yeah. they’re my soulmates. a part of me will always live above weasley’s wizard wheezes. ♡
9. rengoku (demon slayer) / I know this must be a ~mainstream~ choice or whatever but I don’t care. the imprint that he has left on me. him and tanjiro remind me of the importance of kindness and I have embraced it fully since.
10. kaz brekker (shadow and bone) / I really hesitated with inej but kaz. that boy. that character............ I will always vividly remember reading him for the first time. like oh. OH. oh. And it was too late
11. kang sae byeok (squid game) / I saw this girl and I knew... I knew we were going to have silent conversations. her portrayal. her vulnerability. her strength. she is it.
12. opie (sons of anarchy) / I havent even finished watching sons but .... fuck.... I saw ryan hurst who plays him at comic con bc my dad was a fan and he told a story about shampoo and I was never the same since.... he tugs at my heart strings and he’s everything the universe ought to look up to and i’m soft

Trouble with Baby.
Baby: Wahhhh!!!
Ruby: Oh no the baby is crying, what do we do?! 😵
Yang: Wow, wow! What are you looking at me for. I'm supposed to be the wild and irresponsible one, remember?
Blake: *ugghh* Would someone please do something about it. I'm trying to read here.
Weiss: I'm trying to find a nanny through this app. Is 3000 lien a week sounds reasonable to you girls?
Ruby: *smell something* Eww.... The baby just pooped! 😨
Baby: Wahhh!!!
Blake: And... That's my cue to bail out. Sorry sisters but this is where the bond of sisterhood absolutely doesn't matter.
Yang: Oh no you don't. You don't get to take the easy way out and run away like you usually do.
Weiss: Whose great idea was it to babysit other people's baby?
BY: *Points towards Ruby*
Ruby: *Gulp* But his parents are in the hospital right now and they need someone to watch over the baby for them in the meanwhile. 😣
Weiss: That doesn't mean it should be us. You dolt. There's must be someone more capable to take care of a baby.
Ruby: But everyone is busy with the Vytal festival. And I just can't say no. 🥺
Weiss: So instead you volunteer the entire team to take care of a baby without asking us before hand?
Ruby: Well what's done is done and you seems to forget the most important thing here. That someone still have to change the baby's diaper.
Weiss: Well it won't be me that's for sure.
Yang: Eeehhh. Is it too late to run away with you Blake?
Blake: I know I'm the last person that should say this but you can't run away from your responsibility.
Ruby: I can't believe you girls would just abandoned a baby like this. And you call your self a hero. 😠
Blake: Uh... No we never call ourselves that.
Weiss: Quit dragging us to your problem. And if you will excuse me I have a date with Neptune.
Yang: And I also gotta go do... Polishing my bike, I guess?
Baby: Wahhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruby: Wait please don't go! 😭
Jaune: Don't go where Ruby?
Ruby: Jaune. You came. 🤤 And why is Ciel holding your arm like that? 🤨
Ciel: Hello again Miss. Rose. As you can see Jaune and I are on a date together.
Ruby: D-d-date?! Both of you are on a date?! 😳
Jaune: What no. I'm just showing Ciel around the festival. And what is that smell?
Ruby: Uh I have a baby... I mean I'm taking care of someone's baby for a while. And I might have bitten off more than I can chew. 😞
Jaune: Ah I see. Well Ruby if you are having trouble taking care of the baby then I can help you with that.
Ruby: You sure? I don't want to trouble you or anything like that. 😟
Jaune: It's my pleasure Ruby. *effortlessly changes the Baby's diaper* All done. You are brave boy aren't you. Yes you are.
Baby: Yay!!
Yang: How do you know how to do that?
Jaune: Oh. I just have a lot of younger sibling growing up. So I'm expected to pick up the slack and help take care of them. Not limited to just changing diaper and that's include cooking, cleaning and other things. And I don't mind it because I really-really like babies.
RWBY+C: *The collective sounds of their uterus descending*
Blake: LEWD!!!
Weiss: No-no it can't be right I did not just think about Jaune like that...
Yang: Gods damn Vomit Boy. You got me worked up like when the time Ruby visit a gun store... Isn't that right Ruby... Eh, Ruby why are you looking like that?
Ruby: Heh... Heh.... Heh... Heh...
Jaune: Ruby are you feeling okay. Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?
Ruby: Yes... Yes... We can do it in the infirmary... I mean take me there. There's probably a clean bed we can use... I mean a bed you can put me in. (While I close the door behind you.) 😶🌫️
Ciel: Oh Jaune you are so nice to offer her. But I think she is too busy with the baby stuff. And you promised me first to show me around Vytal. And Jaune I think we should end the tour in my room. There's something I want to show you later. What do you say?
Jaune: Your room? I don't know what you are trying to show me, but okay. I'm sorry Ruby I have to finish giving Ciel a tour. Call me in my scroll if you need anymore help.
Ciel: Oh I think we would find it rather enjoyable. *turns towards Ruby* (Get a hint brat he's mine.)
Ruby: Stay away from him! I saw him first! 😡
Ciel: All is fair in love and war.
Baby: Wah!!!!!
Jaune: Stop it you two are scaring the baby!
----------------------------------------------------------
So the Rusted Knight reveal... Yeh. I think gonna write something about it.
So what do you guys think should my next post be Lancaster fluff or Angst? And by Angst I mean Angst - Angst. I mean heartbreaking and wrenching stuff here. The fluff is just okay.

Meeting j's mom
A/n:fun fact:I was working on this for a while it's just a coincidence that it's releasing the day after mother's day
The day had arrived, you had to meet j's mom. One of the main reason why she started dating you is because even after she revealed her true last name, you didn't judge her or start treating her differently like others *cough*Arturo*cough*(mainly cause you had no idea she was that important)
Despite j's refusal, her mother continued to pressure her into letting her meet you and she eventually accepted just to get it over with, which resulted in you standing outside of a massive mansion that you couldn't believe was your girlfriend's house.
"Just a heads-up she's not gonna like you like 100% probably cause you're not rich or some other dumb shit like that"
"O-ok"
"Hey, don't be nervous even if she doesn't like you. I always will, I couldn't care less about her opinion"
"Eh, thanks ok. I think can do it"
"I know you can"
She kissed your cheek and knocked on the door minutes later. mariabella rosales came out and started at you with a hint of disappointment before switching her gaze to j
"Oh, julia, nice if you to visit me, and I assume this is your partner"
"It's j, and yes, they're y/n"
"N-nice to meet you miss rosales"
"Whatever, come in"
Your anxiety tripled after that comment and to reassure you j held your hand which she continued to do for the whole meeting which was.....awkward
J's mother was mostly silent only speaking to throw passive aggressive comments at you or j, in turn that made her angry and she decided to leave early to not see you become more upset.
"I'm sorry if I made things awkward"
"What are you talking about? It wasn't you it was my mom"
"Still, I don't really feel like I'm enough for you after seeing the standards your mom has"
"Hey, what did I tell you before? Even if she doesn't like you, I always will. One of the reasons why I love you is cause you treat me like a normal person, not the daughter of a famous movie start, I love you and you're more than enough"
Her words made your worries disappear and a smile to form on your face
"Thanks it really means a lot that you chose me"
"Don't worry about it, now let's go to my dorm and watch a movie to forget the terrible experience....one where she's not in it"
You two laughed and continued to make your way to Hope's peak knowing that you loved each other even more now.

My GTFO Powder. Spell?
Eh. Either way, every now and then, something mean comes into my home - mean, rude, leering, giving me Uncomfy Vibes, ya'll know what I mean.
Not necessarily evil. But not really nice, either.
And entirely unwelcome.
So, I grab a bowl. Or those coffee filters, the white papery things that are shaped like a bowl or a cup.
Then I raid the kitchen's spice rack.
I say, follow your heart. Pick out the spicy ones (like cayenne), the pungent ones (like dill powder), and/or sweet ones (like sugar).
Whatever feels right, babe.
What I usually grab are: black pepper, salt, cinnamon, mugwort, cayenne, ghost pepper, sugar, cloves, sage, brown sugar, the burnt bread crumbs in the toaster, coffee grounds, catnip, and if any of the smokers in my life have visited recently - and I'm particularly uneasy - I also throw in cigarette ash.
I won't make this into an EVEN LONGER post by listing out all of the magical properties of these herbs and spices. Take it as encouragement to do independent research!
But the most important thing is that it feels right, you know? And as it turns out, most if not all household spices and herbs CAN BE USED for protection and positive energy.
Once you've got your shit together, start putting in as much of the ingredients as YOU want into the container of your choice.
Follow your heart. Don't overthink it.
When you're done, mix it together.
FRIENDLY REMINDER: If you end up using your bare hands/fingers to mix it all up (like me, the local barbarian), don't forget to thoroughly wash your hands. And for the love of FUCK, do not rub your eyes with your dirty, spiced up hands! (also like me, the local idiot)
Anyway. You picked out ingredients that vibe with you, that feel right and you know will suit your purpose: chasing off this disembodied energy spirit asshole intruder.
You've mixed it up.
You washed your hands. And probably sneezed a lot, because you're dealing with powders that can tickle your nose hairs.
Congratulations!
You've made your own GTFO Powder.
Or repellent. Whatever you wanna call it.
Now start throwing it around your house; your windows, doorways (but leave the front door alone for now). Every corner of every room, from the attic to the basement - don't overlook any space, and give special attention to areas that creep you out.
If you need support, bring in whoever you need to back you up. Ohana, bitch!
Or your bros. Nakama. Doesn't matter.
If you can't do this alone, then DON'T and go fetch your trusted people. Sailor Moon taught us the power of love and friendship, you know this shit.
Returning to the subject -
As you're doing this, say whatever you need to say: pick a song, a poem, prayer, or just bitch at the entity for disturbing your peace and to leave you and yours alone.
Yes. I am the last option. There's a lot of swearing and gamer-level trash talk, because I'm not a classy witch.
As my previous therapist said: "You're a mess, girl!"
I'm getting sidetracked: at this point, you've hunted down every last scrap of Bad, Awful, No-Good energy. You've chased it all around your house, and made your displeasure known (in the way that suits you, that feels right).
You could also (safely!!) burn it, if your smoke alarm won't scream at you. I've had the smoke cause a bad spirit to gag, which was a wild experience, lemme tell you.
Anyway: you did the thing.
Now, backtrack.
Go your front door, say: "Get out, and don't come back!" or whatever pleases you.
And open the door.
Give slight pause, enough for someone to bolt outside (those with psychic sight might see a shadow running out, don't be spooked), and then douse your front door with the powder.
If you have a yard, and want to be through, buckle in:
Because you could stop here.
Lots of folks do, it's normal.
But I like to make sure I can go outside and touch grass without being jumped, you know? Because I have a yard, unlike the cool people with their fancy (or shoebox) apartments.
So.
From your front door, step outside and continue. Do as you did inside: throw the GTFO Powder around your porch, and start sprinkling it outside your house's walls.
Maybe rub the powder into the brick or wood, and on the windows trace protective symbols on the glass.
If you have the time, do this three times.
Then expand the protected space:
You're going to establish three rings (or boxes) from the immediate outside structure of your house; to the middle, and finally the outer layer - if you have a fence, use it as the final "wall" of protection.
If you have a gate, again: leave it for last.
For all three parts/circles/boxes that ripple outwards from your house, I strongly recommend doing each part three times, as I previously explained. Make the "lines" thick.
Again, use music, prayer, whatever you want. Whatever gives you strength.
Once you've finished each of the three parts: the house's immediate outside, the middle, and the outer layer/fence.
Then go to the gate, bid the spirit to "leave my goddamn yard, ya creep" (or as YOU want), open the gate for 'em, and then powder up your gate.
Finally, finally, face outside the gate and say a third farewell to the spirit, and close your gate.
If you don't live in a house, you can stop at the front door:
Just say goodbye as needed (two more times, if I'm keeping track) (or three times) (remember, do what feels right),
throw a bit of powder in it's "face" if you wanna be spiteful (like me) and close&lock the door.
Done. Complete. You did it.
Go rest, eat, hydrate. Chill. You used a lot of energy by being a badass witch.
Every now and then, refresh the protections.
Like. Every 3-6 months. Or as needed.
You have my permission to take this bit of magic and make it yours. Add in charms, rattles, your pets, bells, knot magic, candles, plushies, and even rename it - it's barely named as is, to be frank.
But could you let me know? I'd love to see how it evolves over time, and how it changes to suit the witch using it.
Have fun. Go terrorize your unwanted "houseguest".
Bye.

What a ( Not so) Strange World X
Prev Next
So… I know I said I wouldn't be long, but hey…life happens I guess?
I've had the chapter set at 1777 words for longer than I'm willing to admit, so let's briefly explain why I'm late:
I'm a fucking dragon.
Okay, let's move on to the slightly longer version eh?
I'm moving, so I've been messing around the house and realising I own more stuff than I thought I did or didn't even remember existed.
Kind of like a hoardin dragon.
So, having some slightly more important priorities than publishing the chapters of various works, I kind of forgot that I actually had to publish those chapters.
I don't want to bore you with my misadventures, although I may need to complain to someone about it because, really, I could write a comedy series about it.
I apologise, again, for the delay, but I would also like to thank all the people who have started following the story in the last period. I was buried by notifications, and it was also thanks to this that I was able to complete the chapter.
So many thanks for your patience, ( if you have some left over can you lend it to me? I swear I will give it back to you. No? Anyone? Sigh)
Ohh right ! Before I forget, since you asked so nicely I couldn't help but accommodate you (sorry I didn't answer right away) so well, anyone who would like to be tagged please don't mind letting me know
@jessiegerl
"No kiddin! He collared me for eating one slice of tart! All his 'rule obsession' is outta control!"
It was true that 'Riddle' seemed a bit too rule-obsessed, but Ace wasn't really the best person to complain: if Riddle was rule-obsessed then Ace had no conception of what rules were - and probably broke them unknowingly for that very reason.
"Ace I don't thi-"
You were about to let Ace in on this too, but you interrupted yourself when you noticed both Cater and Trey stiffen slightly, realising that what was probably 'Riddle' had approached the table.
"My 'rule obsession' is 'outta control', is it?"
Yep. Definitely Riddle.
And Ace was talking bad about Riddle, to Riddle.
While he was talking you couldn't help but think how much he looked like a child; he was cute, he looked like a doll
When Ace had asked him to take off his collar, you had to restrain yourself from snorting: it was a definitely absurd request.
( seriously Ace, after breaking rules and bad-mouthing the Housewarden, did he really think Riddle would give him his magic back? Naive)
You knew that Riddle was absolutely serious while scolding Ace, but all you could see was a child playing at being an adult - little did it matter that Riddle was older than you - and he was absolutely adorable
( He had adorable little cheeks! You wanted to pinch them. But you were keen not to have any dog collars around your neck, thank you).
You agreed that 'tolerating rulebreakers' might have taken the campus down a path you didn't feel like going down, but you didn't think this was the worst habit the HeadMaster could have.
There was something wrong with that thing and you couldn't help but worry
( worrying about you, about Yuu's safety, about Yuu's survival, about Yuu in general… and even about the evil weasel, in part… and maybe the Problem Child ™ … maybe, you weren't sure Ace deserved to escape the destruction he was causing)
Regardless of what Ace thought of Riddle - to which you could now even attach a face, yay - you didn't think the HouseWarden's thinking was so wrong.
If there were rules, it was only right that they should be obeyed... after all, they existed for a valid reason - right? - and if those rules were broken, then it was only fair that those responsible were punished.
Moreover, at least in Ace's case, Riddle had also been respectful of his education, since his punishment did not affect his school results.
( And you actually rather agreed with Riddle: The problems that an Ace without magic could create were certainly less dangerous than those that an Ace with magic would have caused.
It would still have created problems...might as well limit the damage).
"Now as per rule 339"
" 'The post - meal beverage is to be lemon tea with two sugar cubes' I know, I just don't have a clue where to find the sugar... or tea to be honest, I haven't seen a kettle around, and my sense of direction would allow me to get lost even in an empty room."
You hadn't realised either that you had interrupted Riddle, or that you had said all this out loud, or that the table's attention was on you... you didn't think you had spoken so loudly, but at that moment you cared about your survival.
You apologised to Riddle, smiling rather embarrassedly at him, because really, you hadn't made a fool of yourself yet today.
To your surprise, the boy took it rather well: his eyes were slightly wide, but he hadn't shouted at you…
( Now Ace could have said that Riddle was playing favorites? The situation seemed that serious to you)
After announcing that he was going to get sugar, and saying goodbye to the others, he asked you if you wanted to follow him.
And of course you gave him an affirmative answer.
You were a little afraid to leave Yuu, but Cay and Trey wouldn't let anything bad happen. Although you hoped nothing would happen in general.
So slightly reassured by the thought that in case something happened Yuu would be safe, you got up to follow Riddle.
(You were fully unaware that as you walked away, the negative comments about Riddle were only just beginning.
You were, on the other hand, fully aware that someone was abusing sugar, if Riddle's gritted-tooth comment was anything to go by)
You and Riddle had walked in silence along the path leading from the table where you had lunch to the entrance of the Cafeteria, where on a well-decorated table, away from the buffet area, was everything you needed to prepare tea and other beverages.
( Maybe you could have made yourself some hot chocolate? It's been a long time since you've had some).
Riddle had been kind enough to boil water and brew tea, adding sugar to your cup for you.
"Do you follow all the rules to the letter?" you asked after thanking him for the tea, and were not surprised by his sign of assent.
"But all of them? Like for Rule 529 'If you eat steak on a night with a full moon, a cat must play the violin' does the cat get charmed into doing it? Or is it trained?"
He thought about it for a moment before answering
"It hasn't occurred to me to put this rule into practice yet, but I am convinced that there are both trained and enchanted cats"
"It's interesting how seriously you take these rules" the boy was about to reply but you continued "No offence, it's just that sometimes it's hard to follow them all perfectly, isn't it?"
( You didn't have to tell him that it had taken you quite a while for your sugar cubes to reach two. You weren't particularly fond of sweets as a child.
And that had earned you a few feeding lessons from Queenie who had taken your low sugar levels to heart.
Although your eardrums were still suffering from it, those were the first loving cries you had been given).
"With a little bit of effort you can succeed at anything if you want to" he was looking at the table where your group was.
"Ace isn't bad" he looked at you in profile as you continued " At least, I don't think so, it's just… that he doesn't think enough before he speaks, I don't think he wanted to wrong you"
It was true. You didn't think Ace was bad…just tremendously insensitive and stubborn.
(And maybe a little stupid.)
"To me, however, he doesn't seem to understand what the problem is," and you nodded knowingly.
"I don't think he understands the point of those rules in general. Or the rules in general, for that matter." and here you saw Riddle smile slightly.
"I'm not going to take his collar off just because someone intercedes for him."
"And that wasn't my intent anyway. But if he returned a tart and apologised, he should be allowed back in the dormitory, right?"
You honestly knew Ace would cause more trouble, but as long as he caused it out of your sight - and possibly away from Yuu - it was fine.
What was not fine at all was the thought of Ace staying in Ramshackle Dorm.
One night had been enough, and you didn't want to leave Yuu at the mercy of two and a half Problem Children™.
"Those tarts had been prepared by Trey for the upcoming Unbirthday Party being held at Heartslabyul, but I guess it can still go well."
Riddle had noticed how your eyes had lit up at the mention of the Unbirthday Party: you looked like a child who was ashamed to ask his parents for a toy.
And indeed it wasn't too far from reality.
You knew all the rules of the Queen of Hearts, but you'd never had the chance to attend a real Unbirthday Party, but you could sense that they were an important celebration, at least for anyone who was part of Heartslabyul, and you would have liked to attend, but to invite yourself was rude, no matter what world you were in.
However…
"Um..so if, um, we showed up to this Unbirthday Party, obviously dressed formally, and with this tart…could we strangers attend as well?"
Riddle peered at you for a few moments.
You seemed to know and apply the rules as much as he did, you had been polite in your manners and your eyes were shining for him to actually say no to you.
( And besides, there was no rule forbidding people from attending Unbirthday Parties, otherwise Che'nya would have been 'off with his head' more times than was humanly possible )
"As long as the rules are adhered to, there should be no problem."
You had greeted him all smiling after thanking him, bouncing away.
You were a ball of brightness. You weren't bad to be around.
You, on the other hand, thought your group of friends - could they even be called that? - were trying to get rid of you, as the table where you had lunch was totally empty.
Rude. Very rude.
Rook hadn't helped either. At your look of "you've got something to say abou it?" he had merely shrugged.
You didn't believe him for half a minute.
( You were right not to believe him. Rook knew perfectly well what was going on, but it would have been fun to see how you would have behaved)
It was only thanks to two Beastmen who were complaining - one of them - about an interrupted nap and someone who smelled "not - magic - at- all" that you realised which direction to go in
(even though it didn't reassure you at all).
Why were they in the Botanical Garden of Grace?
(On thinking about it, it made sense that they were going to retrieve the tools to collect chestnuts from there, but you didn't know that the bunch of idiots - Yuu excluded - had decided to make a Chestnut tart)
Which by the way, how did they think you were going to reach them - because it was obvious you were going to reach them - without knowing where they were going? With magic?
(Well, maybe so, but you didn't know how to cast such precise location spells yet).
You found them heading for the kitchens with several baskets of chestnuts - they'd made you wander the campus for nothing then - and filled you in on their intentions.
Honestly speaking, making chestnut tarts for an Unbirthday party didn't really seem like the best idea, but it had been Trey's idea and you doubted Trey had really wanted to get his freshmen into even more trouble than they already were.
Besides, if Riddle himself had requested such a tart, there shouldn't have been a problem, right?
(Although this did raise a few questions - which you kept sweeping under the carpet - such as, 'if Riddle is so bound by the Queen of Hearts' rules, how come he agreed to this crazy idea? )
After the chestnuts had finally been shelled and the two freshmen from Heartslabyul had been made fun of, you realised - Trey realised - that it was time to go to the school store to get some more cream, and while you were at it Trey asked Deuce to pick up a few more things.
You quickly pulled back: you had already walked enough around campus, this time you were going to pass.
After Yuu, Deuce and Grim came out you could "admire" Ace falling asleep on the table - with even a little bit of drool, how horrible.
"And he complained about our Dormitory, he can really sleep anywhere," you said looking towards Trey, who had a slight smile on his face as he approached you, leaning against the counter you had vacated.
"Thanks again for looking after him"
"It wasn't like we had a choice anyway. He did it all by himself. When he comes back to your dorm it will be terrible for you," you said, shaking your head.
There was a moment of awkward silence, or at least, that was what you perceived and you felt like you had to do something.
"When you make the muffins could you let me know? I'd like to help out."
And of course that something had to be awkward, damn you
Trey merely nodded.
You were about to open your mouth again when he anticipated you
'I didn't think I'd see you again. Certainly not under these circumstances," he chuckled.
"Well, um, I don't think anyone expected to see me again under these circumstances."
So you told him a very short version of your little trip from the RSA to the NRA, ignoring how he tried not to laugh openly, as Che'nya had.
You just couldn't help it. Trey had become even more handsome over the years, it was almost unfair.
Surely he had a girlfriend or something. That was even more unfair.
Your teenage self couldn't realise she had a crush on him when you had a chance!
You must not have been very subtle as you looked at him because, without missing a beat, he asked in the quietest tone in the world.
"You seem to be looking at something you like?"
Your shout - it wasn't a shout, it was an embarrassed and indignant babbling nonsense - had managed to wake Ace - who for once wasn't at fault - just minutes before Yuu, Deuce and Grim returned.
Deuce didn't look too good, but at that moment you didn't really care.
Your only thought at that moment was where you could dig yourself a hole to bury yourself from embarrassment.
(You were so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't even notice how red the tip of Trey's ears were when he asked you that question, nor how from that moment on he would not only continue to glance at you, but also to make eye contact with you.
Which failed miserably because you didn't look up from the ground for another second.
In spite of everything, however, he was happy to still have the same effect on you. They were satisfactions).
Omake
While you were following Riddle around the Cafeteria, you didn't notice what was going on around you.
But Riddle did.
And he hoped you didn't ask him why he had suddenly changed direction.
But just as you wanted to survive Ace Riddle wanted to survive Floyd Leech.
Riddle knew it was him. He had a sixth sense for when the merman was around.
And in Riddle's opinion it was never good to be near the Octavinelle trio

As he's reminded of them
Anemo boys
quick disclaimer:
HI I'M BACK !! however i'm not in the mood for the lovey dovey writing when i get off work so in-between sounds like the better time to do it--
the keybord in my office is stupid and doesn't understand when i press keys, so if a few letters are missing, it's COMPLETELY NORMAL !
thank you~~
Venti
Venti has always been...
quite the peculiar fellow
always happy and cheerful
and it may have been bipolarity,
but he could get extremely serious in a single blink
you were absolutely delighted when you moved in with him
and so was he
he better have been
you two were mostly living on your salary
he did gain quite a bit of mora by performing
but that fool would spend it immediately in beverage
you had to get his lyre hostage every once in a while so he would behave
however...
there's something you've never really understood about the bard
and you'd probably never get it
mostly because he doesn't want to talk about it
which is fine
but every time it happens
you get slightly more worried
in the morning,
sometimes,
Venti would just stare at his reflection in the mirror
whisper several words
then shed some tears
the very fist time, you thought he learned some terrible news
but when you tried to make him notice the state he was in
he glanced at you, giggled, and told you he was fine
"Ehe, nothing important. What IS important is how gorgeous you are !"
and he then proceeded to come over to you and hug you tightly
whatever it was,
you hoped he'll tell you one day
or that he'd finally move on
-----
Xiao
Xiao too was particular
honestly, what could you have expeted from a adeptus
you knew these guys had quite an upbringging
but he looked more...
angry
than what you've heard about the others
maybe was it because he was more in contact with humans
he never really bring up other adepti
he barely even talks
sometimes you need to bribe him just to hear his voice
he trusts you
but he's still uneasy
you are similar to one of them
your attitude
your tone
your face
it's like one of his friends was reborn as a human
he sees so much of them in you
sometimes he accidently brings something from way back
and you're just confused
at that point he mumbles something about humans and being forgetful
or as it human forgetting ?
still, he didn't like slipping up like that.
he'll never admit it
but he was so very fond of you
of course he avoids human contact as much as possible
but he knows you swing by Wangshu Inn every so often, so he makes sure to check on you
some nights, you're just looking at the horizon
he'll watch over you in these circumstances
until you call it another night of Xiao not coming
others, you'd be feeling dwn
and he's fear that something he couldn't control happened
but most importantly
he feared that another person he cared for with his life would become a memory
he'd do aything to protect you
including getting hurt for it
or worse
every issue was beneficial for him, anyway
"don't fade away."
-------
Kazuha
The wandering life wasn't quite what you'd have expected
or maybe was it Kazuha's peacefulness that was unexpected
whatever was happening, he was always calm and collected
and dealt with the problem gracefully
he truly is wonderful
how blessed can you be to be by his sides at all times
you both had reasons that got you to travel together
some that you'd disclose, some that you wouldn't
one of them was that you were very interested by the man
you were happy to notice that
he'd even wait for you when you got injured that one time,
forcing you to stay in bed until your sprain was gone
on the last few days of your recovery,
you saw an expression different on his face
something that was so familiar,
yet
you swore you never saw him show that face before
he was lovingly staring at you,
his eyes filled with pain and regrets
all as you were simply laughing with him,
petting a stray cat that wanted some attention.
he never told you about Tomo until that day
you felt terribly sorry for him
of course,
he moved on,
but some memories were still vivid in his mind
you wished that you'd help him find new pleasant memories
they'll never replace his friend
but he'd have new memories to make,
to cherish
and to remember
------
Heizou
he's always been a special case
he's naturally a flirt
the worst part is
he doesn't even do it on purpose
it just happens
at this point it amuses him more than anything
he's a tease
but also
(and mostly)
he's genuine
however, he can't hide that sometimes
when you leave
he's afraid that he'll only find what's left of you
a lifeless body
covered in your own blood and dirt
he made his fair share of ennemies over time
and he worries that seeing you around him
will eventually hurt you
one way or another
so he always whatches over you
if he spots you in the crowd
he'll stay slightly afar to make sure no one suspiscious is around
you've got your own body guard
and you don't even know it
and hell never tell you
he would be too focused on you to pay attention to anything else anyway
all you wanted was to goof around
not give him more work
what kinda personnality does that guy have anyway ? heizou choose more charismatic friends jfc
-----
Scaramouche
he also is a special case
'The Wanderer'
he never told you his name
you two were close
but eventually
he remained on the sides for a bit
what a rude guy
still
time went by and you two got close again
he explained a few weird things
like how he did awful things
sins that he should be punished for
that you shouldn't be so friendly
especially not with him
you then had to make a point
you had to remind him that it didn't matter what he thought
because in the end
he had no saying on what you thought
especially not about him
that it didn't matter if he was a dangerous man
or a criminal
eventually, he came up with "i'm not even human"
"dam boy, i knew you were outta this world"
his expression of mixed confusion and annoyance was priceless
you got back to being serious
mostly because death wasn't your main objective at the moment
you told him that you cared so much more than he thought
that it didn't matter what or who he was
because to you
he was The Wanderer
someone you loved and cherished
he looked away with a 'tch' and never brought the subject up again
another argument won by y/n
--------
yeah i'll be honest i just wanted to get this over with my drafts are too large for yet another thing that was basically done (only needed to do xiao by that point)
HI AGAIN I NEED TO DO STUFF FOR KAVEH HE'S A LOVELY PRETTY BOY !

while Eclipse runs away from his smoke bomb prank, he runs into.... a certain platypus
(Yo 👀)
"Okay, so I'm a little lost, but that's okay!" Eclipse told himself. "Pretty sure I'll figure something out along the way. I'll know where I am soon enough!"
---------------------------------
"I literally do not know where I am." Eclipse finally decided to admit to himself after running for a while. "Oh well, just standing here isn't gonna do anything. Better keep running!"
"That's a terrible idea."
"Maybe, but its kinda the only way I-wait. That's not what my brain sounds like!" Eclipse quickly turned to find that someone was behind him. A really weird looking someone. "WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?!"
"...Dr. Starline. Didn't we already do this?"
"Nah. I would've remembered if it were important."
"Was that supposed to imply what it did-"
"Also, what kind of name is that?!"
"The one I was-"
"You sound stupid, duck-man. And you look stupid too-"
"SHUT IT." Starline shouted, and Eclipse took a few steps back, his hands outwards.
"Jeez, someone's sensitive. You're as bad as my brother..."
"But aren't you Eclipse? The brother of..." the duck-man glared. "Shadow the Hedgehog..."
"...WHAT...are you staring at."
"Not important. Do you still remember what you told me the last time we met?"
"No?? I didn't even remember you. I'd think that was a given, duck-man."
"Its uh...platypus, actually."
"Same thing."
Starline sighed briefly. "Anyway, you were telling me of all the things Shadow's done to you. How much of a bother he is, how much you hate being forced to stay with him..."
"I said that?" Eclipse tilted his head in confusion. "I think you might have the wrong guy or something."
"Honestly, how many people are named Eclipse or...Shadow."
"WOULD YOU QUIT STARING OFF INTO THE DISTANCE ALL MYSTERIOUS LIKE AND EXPLAIN?!"
"I'm only saying, you don't like him, I don't either. If you want to get rid of him, then I'll gladly help."
"Uh...yeah, sure," Eclipse turned, trying to walk away. "You do that. I'm just gonna go back this way now, okay? Okay, nice talkin' to you-"
"One more thing."
Eclipse looked back.
"Its probably best if you forget this happened too."
This left Eclipse extremely confused, given their previous conversation, but he didn't want to deal with this guy anymore. "Riiiight...I'll be headed out now."
And he sped off, running back towards the cave.
Yeah right...like I'll actually forget anything this time...
---------------------------------
Once Eclipse got back, he saw Shadow standing outside the cave. Looking pretty angry, at that. He should've expected this though. He had just thrown an entire smoke bomb in there not too long ago.
Unfortunately, though, when he tried to stop running, Eclipse tripped, falling straight to the ground and in front of Shadow. The hedgehog may have been angry with him, but his eyes still widened, looking down to see if his brother was okay.
Eclipse looked right back up at him, awkward smile and all. "Heyyyy Shadow..."
"Where were you."
"Eh?"
"Where did you run off to while I wasn't looking?"
Eclipse sat up, trying to remember where he went. He was JUST there, right? Yeah, he was. So it shouldn't be taking this long to remember...but nothing came to mind. Nothing at all.
"I...I don't think I remember!"
#SORRY THIS ENDED UP BEING SO LONG I JUST HAVE...IDEAS NOW#I HAD A BRAIN BURST MID-WRITING THIS#AHHH#totally not a starline au reference#sonic the hedgehog#sonic fandom#sth#boom!brothers au#sonic boom#sonic boom au#sonic au#boom!eclipse#boom!shadow#boom!starline#slight ooc hello its me

Expedition Log: Day One at Casseroya Lake
((small ooc note: i unfortunately only have violet for the moment because i am poor and also just have no way of getting scarlet for funsies. so please ignore any inconsistencies in appearance, i tried to make her look canon as possible with what i had <3 thanks in advance!!))
[pt. 1 (you are here), pt. 2]
[initial recording time: 2:59pm]
"Ugh, should I really be recording in this rain? Green's taking a brief nap, yeah, but ugh. If I don't do it now, I'm totally gonna forget..."
Despite the concern on her face, though, she seems more than apt to get her pep up and repositions the camera and makes a cheerful little gesture.
"...Screw it, we'll do it live! Hi everyone, it's Juli!"
Juliana talks easily, despite what seems to be a small rasp in her throat--one could likely excuse it at maybe a bit of sickness taking her, but still being able to speak on despite it. It at least shows the girl is determined, if little else, as she gestures with her hand out to the area.
"Green's taking a little nap while I go exploring outside a bit! Never really been fond of the rain, that one. But I'm over by the watchtower of Casseroya Lake, and the view is just plain stunning! Here, get a good look!"
Juliana seems to reposition the camera, the view going outward as one can hear the girl's energetic steps as she focuses on a few different views from the lake.
"Ehe! The sky's so clear, but it's still raining Fidough and Glameow--but look at that pretty sunlight! Isn't it just gorgeous?"
Juliana's laughter, her vibrance and enthusiasm, it's all very clear in how she animatedly talks about her surroundings--about some of the Pokemon she's seen so far, about how Darling has been able to go for a nice swim and enjoy herself while Guidance keeps a watch--it's a tangent that gets Juliana to laugh a bit, before she seemingly stops herself short.
"--But right, right! This is, uh, supposed to be about my notes for the expedition, right? Right. I'll see if I can edit this out once I do my presentation, but...I don't know, it always makes me super happy to be able to talk about my Pokemon, you know?"
One can hear shuffling as the camera view shifts down a little bit, as if Juliana is taking a seat upon the rainsoaked ground a bit.
"But let's get started with our observations! And, oh, a little bit of history about this place. That's important too, right?"
"So! This place is Casseroya Lake, basically a beautiful haven for water Pokemon to thrive, and home to at least a few of Paldea's great wonders! On one side, you've got the Colonnade Hollow--a place where Dragon and Fighting types tend to come and raise their young before moving to other places, and a pretty common place to find Noibat, if you're looking for them! The dark cave kinda tends to evoke their old home in...Kalos, right? I think that's where they're from originally, at least."
"Then you've got the Gracia Stones, which are probably some of the nicest rock formations you'll find off of the coast of Paldea! I admit, their history isn't something I've learned about yet, but if I had to make a guess...it must've been the den of a great Water type Pokemon, waaay long ago!"
"And then there's Casseroya Falls! It's the connecting point between Glaseado Mountain--" Juliana turns her camera back towards the lake, angling it so a faint view of the mountain can be seen. "--And the lake itself! Water melting down from the mountain comes and graces the lake, welling in it, and connecting all life within it...heehee! Isn't that super cool? It just means that each and every one of us, we're all connected in some way or another--from the water that comes down the mountain, from the lake, and into the faucets of our homes, we are connected in all things. Or...something like that!"
Juliana seems to giggle a bit, brightly as she focuses the shot on the lake again and seems to sigh as the rain continues. If she minds, it doesn't seem obvious in her (admittedly still a little raspy) voice.
"If you can believe it, there used to be a giant, Titanic Pokemon that roamed these parts. The Elusive, False Dragon Titan...which in truth, was actually two Pokemon working in tandem with one another!"
"You see, about a year and a half ago, I was helping a friend of mine with his own research, see--his name's Arven, he makes the best food you could ever ask for! No joke, I'm pretty sure this guy could put any and all of Paldea's sandwich shops out of business if he opened one up. But I shouldn't get carried away! But we wound up finding and fighting this Titan, see? And at first, it was this big, huge Dondozo that had seemed to eat a Tatsugiri! And like, what on earth, right?! Poor little guy was just living his life."
"But you see--the Tatsugiri, it was actually like, waaay smarter than it looked. It was actually controlling the Dondozo from inside of it's mouth, and it wound up fighting us too after we managed to defeat it's big shield! It was the weirdest thing ever! But we managed to find this really special herb in a cave, and--"
"Juliana. Are you going to sit here and talk all day?"
"--Eep!"
Juliana's phone seems to immediately drop into the wet grass as she startles, but it's...strange, almost. The voice in question that speaks up--it's decidedly older in nature, though it's gender isn't exactly easy to determine. But more odd is the seeming...closeness of the voice. And it's qualities, too--it doesn't exactly feel like a voice that has suddenly come up beside someone, startling them while they're talking.
It seems to almost...reverb, in a way that one can't quite place their finger on. It feels there, yet not. Human, but with just enough weirdness to make one question it. It's strange, but the camera's gone dark as Juliana dropped it, and she seems to chuckle no worse for wear.
"Green, come on! You can't go scaring a girl like that when she's in the middle of a story!"
"I am well aware. I simply think there are better uses of your time than simply nattering into a camera about ancient history; writing is a far better medium for such things, no?"
"I mean, I guess..." Juliana seems slightly dejected, though she seems to laugh afterward. "But you lose all of the enthusiasm with writing, you know?"
"Mmm. I do suppose that is a fair point; I acquiesce." Green seems to chuckle, the sound very light and with a quality that seems mature in nature. Like a good hearted, gentle chuckle. "But we should begin our journey to the other side of the lake, if we wish to make it by nightfall."
"Yeah?" Juliana can be heard shifting a bit in the wet grass, seeming to ponder that. "Did you or Guidance find something?"
"I can sense something in the distance. I am not...entirely certain of what the energy is, but it feels real. I believe we may be onto something, if my hunch is correct."
"Wait, for real?! Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Juliana seems to jump up, her voice becoming more distant as she gets off the ground. "Come on, lets get going! If we have Buddy ferry us across, we should be able to get there before night time, right?"
...Oddly enough, Green's voice seems a touch more distant too. Odd, given that there seem to have been no other steps heard...? "That is exactly what I was thinking. We should make haste, then. I imagine the rain will let up in due time as well, and as long as Buddy stays on task, we should be able to make it swiftly."
"Let's get going, then! Oh, I just can't wait...!"
"Ah, Miss Juliana--do not forget your phone! You will need that, won't you?"
"Oh, shoot, right! Hang on a second--"
Juliana seems to pick up the Rotomphone again, the camera a touch blurry from the rainsoaked grass it laid in, but no worse for wear otherwise. There's a brief bit of darkness as she seems to wipe down the camera, starting to walk back while cheerfully signing off.
"Alright, that's going to end the first part of this! But I'll keep all of you posted on what we're able to find next! Bye-bye~!"
The camera ends on an odd shot of the ground--one which had been seen earlier, if only from a distance. Very little seems to be different about it from a glance, but...
...
Odd. Were there always those little buds growing on the ground? If you blink you'll miss them, but hm. How strange.
Either way, the video ends off here.

On Ace Awareness Week, from a formerly unaware ace
Since Ace Awareness week is drawing to a close I figured eh, why not share my perspective as someone who didn't know what asexuality was until I was 22 and why teaching kids about asexuality is fucking important.
This is basically a long winded personal story. Not the most profound thing, but eh. It's our week so why not? (Warning: Long)
I'm also bi/pan (I use both for reasons I won't get into here but if you're curious just ask I guess?) and while THAT did not exactly go smoothly and is still a sore spot between my mom and I, I will say that not knowing what asexuality was during hs and most of college caused me far more anguish than anything related to me liking girls. It was just largely invisible to others.
High school and college became very isolating times for me. For a lot of reasons but partially because of my asexuality. My peer group talked pretty openly about who was having sex and when, and for awhile me not feeling ready was fine, but after a time I had to just learn to keep that to myself.
Occasionally I did mention things like not feeling like I could have sex with someone after only three dates, or after only a month. (Since I didn't know what asexuality was I reasoned that I would get the urge eventually in the relationship, just not as soon as my peers seemed to.) By college this got some pretty hostile reactions from some people in my peer groups. Mostly from guys but certainly not EXCLUSIVELY from guys. (A lot of patriarchal bullshit of the mid 00's was mixed in for good measure, not purely acephobia.) I was called abusive and manipulative for "stringing guys along" and "making them pay for x amount of dates with nothing in return". (I was back in the closet during college and trying to gaslight myself into forgetting I'd dated a girl in hs but that's a whole nother thing.)
I would hope these are things most college kids today wouldn't say, both because of having healthier views on dating and at least knowing what asexuality is. It's also worth noting I had exactly one relationship during college and it only lasted six weeks. So no I was not leaving a trail of broken hearts and blue balls in my wake. I was also happy to pay for my own dates but the one guy I dated would get absolutely FURIOUS with me when I suggested doing so.
In fact after that one relationship (which was when I was 18) I pretty much decided to just give up on dating until I felt ready to have sex in a timely manner. Even after I found out what asexuality was I still kinda reasoned it as something I had to get over. I didn't really think I'd meet anyone else who was ace so I still reasoned that sex would just be something I'd have to learn to tolerate if I wanted a relationship. So for 7 years I didn't date or do anything romantic with anyone. An occasional crush maybe, but I generally got over them before I even thought to try to pursue something.
When I was 25 I met my partner, and after being online friends for awhile we became a couple. Neither of us knew THEY were also asexual, that was just a happy accident. Or maybe our hearts knew something our minds didn't. I don't know, but it sounds romantic, doesn't it?
But even after that, there was one final round of acephobia from one of my hs/college friends. (I am not friends with her anymore but her acephobia is actually not a huge factor in that.) It's worth noting my partner was male presenting at the time and had not yet started to question that, so for the first few years of our relationship they were my "boyfriend".
This friend of mine was skeptical that a young "man" such as my partner would truly tolerate a sexless relationship. I assured her that my partner was ace, like me. She said I should be prepared for them to change their mind. I said if they did, they did. We would probably have to break up.
Her conclusion was that it was extremely fucked up for me "dump a guy for WANTING to have sex with you".
But at this point I felt more equipped to call her on her bullshit than I'd felt in hs and college. At least internally...I didn't turn the conversation into a fight but sometimes I kinda wish I had.
It's gotten easier, and honestly part of that comes from people in their 30's just not talking about sex as much. So if you're a younger ace and still feel like people can't shut tf up about all their sexing...they will eventually. Or at least tone it down.
But still, I think I would have felt less alone and isolated if I'd realized I was just some lone, broken person unworthy of love just because sex terrifies me. There will always be some skepticism and pushback, but I would have had a word for myself. A way to explain how I feel and that I'm not the only one who feels like that. (Not that being the only person who feels a certain way means you're invalid, but it IS easier when you can point to some article and be like "Look, here's me and how I feel and the others who feel that way".) I would have had the words to explain my boundaries and limitations.
And I hope nobody else has to feel as alone as I did back then. So yeah. Teach kids about asexuality. Both to prevent them from feeling like I did, but also to prevent them from MAKING others feel like I did by acting like some of my more douchehat college friends.

Thing on my mind:
I can't help but think of the character of Nakuri or rather the potential this character has.
Like i've read a lot of fic with Kayn (mainly with ships but eh) and i can' help but think that Nakuri is character that can have an real impact in Kayn's life in SOOOO many way.
Because i think he should be part of the package, like you include Zed and/or Akali in some type way in Kayn's life, you should add Nakuri too.
I mean he is present in both Kayn's short stories: in the first one in the canon universe, Nakuri is also an apprentice and get in the way in the mission to retrieve Rhaast, he is like a rival. Meanwhile in the second short story, set in the odyssey universe, he is not only a commander under Kayn but is also AN OLD FRIEND. THAT is an important and very interesting point.
Because in the canon universe, Nakuri is dead (at least that we can assume that) so he's not revelent but in alternative universe? Damn the possibilites are insane! (i think he died in the odyssey too not sure)
You can give different role to him and depending on how close you make them, he has a more or less important impact on Kayn's life.
Nakuri can be a rival, a childhood friend, past lover etc and in the heartsteel au he can be part of Kayn's pevious band (i've seen that quickly) and you just had to add his death or betrayal in the mix and you get ✨traumatised Kayn✨. And you have like no information about him that he is almost like a blank sheet that you just have to fill
I also like the idea that in canon Kayn probably didn't feel an ounce of guilt when he killed Nakuri while in any alternative universe you can make him feel different level of griefs and probably guilt if he played any role in his death
i'm not a writer lol but like here are a few exemples (and i know some writers like to make the characters suffer)
modern au :
-they were close friends in highschool 🏫
option 1 : nakuri + betrayal = kayn got trust issues
option 2 : nakuri + death by accident +more or less play a part in it kayn= broken and guilty kayn
-they were lovers ❤️
you can applied the previous options
option 3: nakuri + toxicity= broken/traumatised kayn
-enemies to friend to lovers to dead💀
-He was Kayn's crush💔
option 1: he rejected Kayn like an asshole
option 2: he played with Kayn's feelings
heartsteel au😎:
nakuri kick kayn out of the band because they had a fight or something or get kayn kicked out
(i like to think that Rhaast hates his guts😈)
I dont think a lot of people have read Kayn's short stories OR people don't think Nakuri is that useful as a character and maybe thats why Nakuri barely appear anywhere (i think its more the second lol or they just forget about him). Anyway i just really needed to get this all out, its not a big deal but the idea have been taking all the space in my head dancing and twirling
so i guess thanks if you have read this far, its just random thoughts
#heartsteel#rhaast#heartsteel kayn#league of legends#shieda kayn#living rent free in my head#zed league of legends#odyssey kayn#nakuri league of legends#i'm just rambling#idk how to tag this#this is just nonsene#i'm making a big deal out of it when its just nothing

hi!! your masterlist is so cute, can i request a platonic kanade x reader where they’re both very unathletic and have to do a difficult pe class? (ex. game of dodgeball?) take as much time as you need ^^
{Kanade and unathletic reader in PE!} [P] (Ft Ena)
This ask was honestly pretty challenging. It was sort of out of character for Kanade to do this kind of thing unless specific circumstances were met, and finding them was quite tricky. Still, I hope you enjoy it! And also, please don't mind the Ena on the side...
Kanade having a normal class of any subject is... Really, really hard to picture. She goes to online school for a reason, and it's unnatural to think that she would move to a normal one anytime soon...
However, that school had a period of PE classes that weren't obligatory to attend to! Most did, since it was an easy way to get attendance points, but the shut in was always the exception!
It wasn't up until the trip to Spojoy park that she understood the importance of exercise, and the need to do it once in a while, even though one may not like it!
However, for her, it's still too embarrassing to turn on her camera and (Try to) exercise in front of everyone... She's aware that people usually don't look, but still! So she settles for the next best thing, to use the recording of the class!
For that, she asks you, her classmate, and close friend to share the recording with her, forgetting that you're as bad with exercise as her... However, as she explains to you her reasons, she accidentally inspires you to do it alongside her!
You ask one of your friends to pass the recording as she makes enough space in her room! That means organizing the note sheets thrown on the floor as well, which is something quite rare for her to do...
However, as she tells Ena that she's going to try exercising again, the artist decides to watch over the two, since she doesn't trust the two of you to do it alone! It's a safety measure, in case any of you feel like giving up halfway and the other doesn't find the energy to refuse...
K: "Ah, I guess... I'm sorry, I should probably not even need this help, but I really appreciate it..."
E: "Hey hey! I know you're making an effort to change, and there's no way I won't help you out ok??"
K: "... You're really kind. I really appreciate your efforts to help me out like this."
E: "E-eh? Ah, um, it's nothing, really..."
So now that you two have a supervisor, it's time to exercise! The teach in the recording explains the routine for today, called HIIT (Stands for High Intensity Interval Training), and then starts out with a small, easy presentation!
And as soon as you two see it, the urge to give up immediately sets in. The 'easy presentation' is a solid 45 seconds of jumping jacks, a 10S break, then 45 seconds of jacks again, 5 times in a row! Yeah... HIIT is one of the harder training routines out there.
Ena needs to shout at you two to start already, and then again to force you two to continue, as the short pauses are not nearly enough to make up for the exercises! And 45-10 was just the start! 50-10, then 60-10, then 75-15! It's rough, and it's messy...
The composer's hair is thankfully kept by a ponytail, but her lack of physique means that she's struggling to do the exercises with the correct posture, constantly going for the easier versions the teach proposes...
However, even still, her newfound determination to get a better physique and health keeps you two going, and going! Her speeches and words of motivation are surprisingly effective for someone who's wheezing as hard as you are...
Thankfully, the recording isn't that long, and in 40 mins the final session of stretching ends! You two lay on the floor, as the artist makes sure that neither of you actually get sick from this... It's a little hard, but, in the end, you both made it!
"Ugh... My head is s-spinning... Haaaaaahh... Haaaaaahh... Ok, ok, I'm... Getting... U-up!... Why, why was that so hard...? We made it though... That's, a, relieeeef..."
She can't even afford to speak much as she lays on the bed and recovers her breath. You do the same, and the artist decides that it's best to just leave you two for now... You can barely hear the 'person leaving the call' noise over your breathing...
After a solid moment of regaining your lost souls, the both of you change your clothes and start chatting for a while... Apparently, your friend sent you a recording of the wrong day, one that was harder than the one they meant to send you. Welp.
At least you two got through it... And hey, maybe next time you could try the real one?

Akuneko 1st Anniversary Nac card translation Part 2
Part 1 | Part 2
The Back of the Boy's Face
I will never forget my 12th birthday.
Part 2
Jiiya told me that "Master is waiting for me.", I was taken to a forest near the mansion.
*walk* *walk*
Child Nac: Hey Jiiya, is father really here?
Jiiya: ...............
Child Nac: And those clouds, isn't it going to rain soon? I hear thunder in the distance. We should go back to the mansion soon.
..........
Um, Jiiya-
Jiiya: Hahaha... Finally... The day has finally come. The day when I can take revenge on the hateful Stein family.
Child Nac: Eh...? Jiiya...? H-hey, What are you talking about? What revenge?
!!!!
T-that knife...
Jiiya: Bocchan... I deeply apologize, but I want you to die here.
Child Nac: Jiiya...? What are you talking about? You are joking, right?
A-hah! I get it! This has to be birthday surprise or something, right? I'm already surprised enough! So put that knife down...
Jiiya: No, I am not joking. You probably don't know, but... When a member of the Stein family turns 12... Training as an assassin will begins.
In short, The boy who is the heir to the Stein family... From now on, will be raised as a "killer".
Child Nac: ...! Killer...
Jiiya: Hahaha, There's nothing to be afraid of. Because Bocchan... because you will die here.
Child Nac: J-Jiiya!? Why... Something like this...
Jiiya: An important trace of that man. On the day you turn 12, I will kill you with these hands. That is my revenge for having my son killed by that man. All these times, I've been waiting for this day.
Child Nac: Please stop... Jiiya... Please...
Go back to being the kind Jiiya you used to be...!
Jiiya: Don't be afraid, Bocchan... I'll take care of you. I will set you free from the cursed fate of the Stein family.
Before those innocent hands...
Before it gets dirty with blood...
Child Nac: No Please stop this... !!! S-stay away from me....!
NOOOOO!!!
----------------------------
Child Nac: Hah... Haa... Haa...
*Thump*
Child Nac: Eh...? Jii...ya...?
! ?
T-this knife...
Before I knew it...
in my hand...
What...
What have I done...
Jiiya: Gugh....... Impossible.... YOu damn Stein...!! No way... Even... child is no....
.......
...
Child Nac: Jiiya...? J-Jiiya! No! Please don't close your eyes! Please...!
Nac's father: It's no use, Nac. It slice through the spot. He can't be help anymore and he doesn't have to live anymore.
Child Nac: ......! F-father...
Nac's father: Hm. In this state, it seems that your body moved unconsciously. Nac, as I expected, you have talent.
It was worth training from an early age, inherits the customs of the Stein family for generations. Of course, this man didn't realize that.
Child Nac: Father, why... no way... You know that Jiiya was trying to kill me...?
Nac's father: Of course. That's why I hired him. I thought he would be perfect as your first prey.
He seemed to hold a grudge against me. Foolish man.
Unbeknownst that he would lose his life for the son of such a villain.
Child Naca: Villain...?
Nac's father: That's right, it's natural to die.
Listen, Nac.
As you already know, the Stein family has a hidden side as a assassin.
However, it is not just an assassination business.
What we are aiming for is a villain who disturbs the world.
Those who lurk in the depths of darkness and drink the blood of innocents.
To fight against them, we have to use ruthless means. That is the Stein family. You understand, right?
Child Nac: ...
yes……….
Nac's father: You killed someone with your own hands today. It must be tough. There's only one way to forget the pain.
Child Nac: w-What should I do...?
Nac's father: It's a matter of getting used to it. First life is no different from the second. You will soon forget the pain. That's how the heir of the Stein family gets over it.
All right, start with the first job. The end of the man in front of me,
What would you do?
Child Nac: Jiiya... ...No. The target is an elderly man with no relatives. Let's assume that he died from an illness... it's safe to dispose the corpses privately?
Nac's father: Hm. That's fine. As expected from my son, Nac.
Child Nac:
.............
--------------------------
My past...
The day I became an assassin.
From that day on,
I lost my sense of humanity.
But now,
I'm laughing from the bottom of my heart...
I thought I would never feel joy in my life.
I thought I have no qualification for myself who killed someone...
Long time after that, I was working hard... Live an inorganic life like chewing sand.
If the past me sees the now me...
You won't believe it.
I feel joy in being with the people I care about.
---------------------------
Nac: Fufu..
Lord: Nac?
Nac: Nothing. It's just... I hope you are having a wonderful day today, Lord.
Lord: Oh, thank you...
Mu: Um Mr. Nac! Instead, tell us about your birthday!
Nac: Yes.. Of course, it was a special day. About that day... I can never forget it.
Mu: He~ It must have been a wonderful birthday!
*Church Bell ringing*
Nac: Oh my, it seems that the noon bell has rung. Shall we have lunch soon, Lord?
Lord: Yes, I agree.
Nac: Fufu.... Spend peaceful moments with your loved ones.
For me now... I'm happy enough with this.

Things go a little haywire when my sister and I have conversations. Wynn our cat was knocking things over, and I pointed out it would be worse if he had a freind his age- or thumbs. Which set Kat to talking about a muppet movie or bit, where Rizzo was in a 'lab rat' scenario and it was put as a prison alagory ("No one's ever made it out of the maze. even if they did, it's ten feet to the door; and three feet to the door knob and rats don't have thumbs, so they can't open doors") he problem was that rats do have thumbs. More importantly, Muppet Rats definitely have thumbs.
This spawned a conversation about how using Muppet Rats for testing would require a doctor to anylize their responses, because of course they can talk about what's being tested. Then we talked about muppet animals vs 'wild' muppet animals.
Like Fozzie going to hibernate with his cousins as a bear, but not being sure how it works. To which I said "Oie this guy. I love him but someone teach him how to do this." (Fozzie is a non practicing Jew now, I'm sorry /headcanon)
City Jew goes to visit his more orthadox cousins
With me so far? Great. Forget about the Muppets
We discussed Country Jews vs City Jews. From that sentance I started spinning out a Halmark movie about a busy business man who has to go home for Chanukah to settle some things for his father- no wait, would Yon Kippor be better? Rosh Hashna? or is he just going to sit shiva and then gets dragged into organizing things - well it's a hallmark movie, we're going to go Chanukah for now just to make it clear we are ripping on Christmas Movies. Anyhow he meets and falls in love with the girl his mother was trying to set him up with and he kept avoiding.
At this point we went full halmark, and turned it into a woman, with a goy boyfriend waiting in the city. She's been waiting for him to purpose, and he's just not doing it, and she's frustrated. We get a couple scenes of her not being terribly observant. ("There's cheese on this roast beef sandwich, Dana, did you get this from Henrich's on fith?" "Nah, a new deli opened closer, I went there. It's the same sandwich, right?" Pause. "Eh, it'd be a waste." There was also a few bacon jokes, to hit the 'we know nothing much about Judism' crowd)
And she goes home, and is charmed by the community around the temple, and meets that nice boy her mother kept talking about- he's a nurse, but he always wanted to take over his father's carpentry business. His father wanted more for him, anyway, enough about him, he's a handsome prop. Give the man a really good face with a nose.
Then we swing back to her goy boyfreind, who was waiting for her to give up on Judism, because he's an atheist and it's all silly, and he thinks a nice secular wedding would be more comfortable for both of them anyway. She's probably trying to balance both worlds going back and forth from the city to the little town, and still being a little resistant at being set up by her mother. and her grandmother. and her grandfather on the other side, oh and her mother's tea and book club. But at the same time goy boyfriend starts saying the quiet part outloud. (mostly just you know, smug atheist, not antisemitic just anti any religon)
This helps her realize how important her families traditions are to her, and she ends up pouring her heart out to the nice jewish boy, who then debates at her. What does she want? What does this mean to her? Why? All through this he's still really kind, and not trying to prove a point, just trying to help her find her own point.
So yeah, turns out she can commute to her big city job, dumps her goy boyfriend, and lives happily ever after.
I would like to see it.
Remember we were talking about my cat knocking things over?

for the WIP ask game >_> "Pandora's Bastion" sounds so cool!
HECK YEAH I could talk about this one for HOURS
(sorry this took a million years to post, I am easily distracted and have the memory of a foghorn)
Okay, okay, so, like, it's a weird (ish) one, which is already saying something because most of my personal projects are some degree of strange, in one form or another (probably because I've had most of these as concepts for years at this point, and most of them at least partially stem from any combination of Gender Identity, Complicated Family Dynamics, and Mental Health)
This is also one that I haven't done anything concrete for other than note-taking, but there's still a lot of stuff in my brain about it. It's legit one of my longest existing ideas! This has been cooking since 2013! Since there's a lot I can say about it, I'm going to put a 'short' summary below, then expand upon it under a read-more :3
Summary: The last (known) Earth-born human, who has given up most of their humanity to stay alive centuries after the planet's 'death' (no longer viable for human life), discovers another of the lost "sleeper ships", AKA one of the vessels that humanity used to travel to other habitable planets. Inside is only one living human, Jeremy King*, who has a small connection to the protag's family. Unfortunately, he is unable to cope with how long he has been asleep for, and becomes the novel's antagonist, desperately attempting to reassemble any remaining pieces of Earth culture/history (even if it means dismantling the systems that have been built upon those remains). His knowledge of Earth is what allows him to pose a threat to the protag. However, he does not actually realize who the protag is until the very end of the book, at which point he experiences a breakdown. Going along with the themes of the novel (elaborated on under the cut), the protag decides to 'let go' of a piece of their immortality.
*working name, of no relation to the several people with that name I found just now by googling
Protag Summary: In another (several) reference(s) to various pieces of religion/mythology, the protagonist has several names. It's also important to note that their gender identity, biological features, and other identifying traits are intentionally kept vague/unknown (you'll see why later). Most commonly, they are referred to as Legion ("My name is Legion, for we are many." -Mark, 5:9), but also answers to Nobody (Odyssey my beloved), Zero, and Unison. There might have been another name I am currently forgetting. Anyway, the main reason for that goes back to their form of immortality. The actual original Legion is in a form of cryosleep at the very heart of the titular Pandora's Bastion (originally called Pandora Station, before I got worried about the online radio service and copyright). The Legion that everyone knows... is actually several dozen cybernetically enhanced clones, that are all linked together and work in, you guessed it, perfect unison.
Read-more time!
The Setting, Universe: So, when I was younger, I was kind of obsessed with the idea of having this huge, branching story taking place over thousands of years. I called it Bloodlines, and it was split into three sort of sections: The Era of Earth (from roughly modern times to eh maybe a thousand years later?), The Span of Space (the first several hundred years after humanity leaves Earth, as they become a part of intergalactic society), and The Time of Triam (everything past that). Triam being the name of one of the most important characters in the whole series/a Goddess from an important Space Religion. Now, a lot has changed over time, and I'm still debating whether or not to break things up into more universes, because of conflicting ideas. But originally, Pandora's Bastion was going to be the only story that really involved all three sections, although it primarily takes place in The Time of Triam.
The Setting: The story mainly takes place around the titular Pandora Station/Pandora's Bastion. Originally, the name was chosen simply because I liked the sound of it, but I think in some ways it has actually become pretty fitting. Pandora Station is essentially a city built on/around a huge chunk of space rock (not big enough to be considered a moon, though I've considered changing it to be one). If you've played/know about the Mass Effect series, than know that Pandora was heavily inspired by Omega, to the point where the initial version was basically just "Omega but translated into my story universe". Honestly still needs more editing.
The original (in canon) purpose of the city was mining/research, but it was abandoned after the research was completed. This was all conducted by one of the non-human species from the setting. Eventually, Legion's "sleeper ship" encountered the station, and Legion (who was already on the edge of what most would consider human at that point) moved in. A couple of decades later, a group of alien mercenaries decided to build upon the pre-existing structure, being unaware of Legion's presence in the heart of the city. Over time the city became a sort of haven for mercenaries, bounty hunters, criminals, and general misfits (think Omega from ME2/3, Knowhere from Marvel, or any part of Nar Shaddaa from SW).
For a few hundred years prior to the official start of the story, the station/city has mainly been controlled by one lady, currently named Caldhrik Tarakova. She serves as an anti-hero of sorts throughout the Bloodlines storyverse, and is arguably Legion's closest ally, although even she isn't aware of Legion's status as being Technically Several Dozen People With A Hivemind (at least not at the start of the story). The two of them have a deal, with Legion supplying extra security and intel, while Caldhrik makes sure nobody tries to get into the maintenance areas of the city, since that's where they chill.
Legion's Backstory (More mythology references whoooo): So, as previously stated, Legion's birth name, gender, and race are all left intentionally unstated. The purpose behind this is that they act as a sort of representative of Earth, being the last Earth-born human alive (excluding Jeremy King, but they'll outlive him). I didn't want to have any sort of awkwardness where the symbolic vision of humanity is just, like, a white guy, or something. I can't find my notes about it, but there's supposed to be some stuff that encourages the reader to see Legion as a version of themselves. Honestly, I've sometimes wondered if the story would work better as a weird multi-media thing.
Anyway, Legion was born on Earth a few years before their family left Earth. At that point in the setting, Earth was already going downhill fast, and space exploration was a HUGE thing. As Earth declined, however, there was a realization that it would be easier for the big companies to abandon the planet than to help heal it (there's a whole bunch of stuff that leads up to that, but it's mainly explored in Burn-Smoke, not Pandora's Bastion). So, naturally, they start fucking off into deep space, sending dozens of massive Sleeper Ships to planets that have the most potential for life, knowing the journeys will take close to a century.
While this starts, huge conflicts break out among those left scrambling on Earth. Jeremy King was one of Legion's neighbors, and was deployed in combat not long before they were born. Various countries and their governments form alliances (some of them unlikely) to create more Sleeper Ships, forming gigantic waiting lists to ensure the "important people" get off world. Legion's family is fairly lucky, managing to get their household on one of the mid-tier ships (as time went on, the ships that were made lost quality, as the available resources diminished).
Because of this mixed quality, the ship initially launched with most passengers awake (as opposed to being in cryosleep, as intended). By the time they enter the cryo pods, Legion is roughly 13-15. Again because of the lower quality, not all the systems are fully automated, requiring occasional human work. As part of an agreement made by the human passengers, the ship's AI (named Prometheus) occasionally wakes up a human, trains them in maintenance, and has them be a helper for 5-10 years before selecting a new human to take their place. The humans rotate out in such a way that there are actually usually 2 people awake at once, with one starting to train their replacement.
Eventually, young Legion is selected, and spends several years with a kindly stranger as a mentor, before the mentor is returned to cryosleep. Not long afterwards, there's a disastrous malfunction, caused by impact with space debris. Most of the ship's power becomes limited, and Prometheus has to hurriedly teach Legion how to access and repair equipment that is meant to be fully automated. As things worsen, the AI is forced to decide which systems to cut power to, in order to A: ensure there's enough power left to complete repairs, B: ensure Legion survives long enough to make said repairs, and C: maximize how much of the ship and it's contents will survive.
Prometheus, although very conflicted about it, ends up needing to shut off most of the power to the cryo pods. Legion is able to complete repairs and reboot the system, but by then the damage is done, with most of the other passengers dead, and the rest with little to no chances of survival. Now essentially truly alone with an AI, Legion becomes devoted to going through the ship's digital archives, which contain immense records of Earth history, culture, and scientific marvels.
The mentorship between Prometheus and Legion turns into a friendship, and eventually the two end up performing a merge (Prometheus getting linked into Legion's cybernetics), which they deem necessary as part of extending their lifespan (allowing them to finish what's left of their mission). By the time Legion reaches Pandora, they're fully accustomed to having a super computer for a brain.
Rough musings on themes: The story goes over the ideas of preservation vs adaptation, exploring the difference between upholding tradition and refusing to grow. Both J.K. (Jeremy King) and Legion are desperately grasping onto pieces of the past, with J.K. tearing apart the present for it, and Legion diluting both the past and themselves in an attempt to save even the smallest fragments. At the start, neither of them are fully accepting of the fact that humanity lives on through what it has become- not just by what remains of Earth. Both of them are relics of the past, but Legion (who has no actual memories of their homeworld) acts as a representation of future generations, of the sort of Mythological Children that we talk about when discussing the legacies we'll leave behind.
(that is to say- what did J.K. and his generation leave for Legion to inherit? what culture, values, what problems? what did their fear and desperation instill in the last cradle of humanity?)
Anywho/anyhoo/anyho/anyhow/anyway (all of which I am fond of saying), this is already a mountain of information that probably actually says very little, and I could (and gladly would!) talk about it for even longer. But I think this is good for now :D

Eyy this will probably be the first post I ever make on this site, but I've been reminded of something as of recent
Call it late night nostalgia, but Chet Falisek, a former writer of many of my childhood games posted a couple of videos on TF2 talking about how Meet your Match really changed TF2 for the worst, and I'll post it at the end of this thread here of course.
TF2 has always been my childhood game, probably my first game I ever played on an old shittly Lenovo Laptop my dad let me borrow as a kid, before I was ever able to access stuff like minecraft and gmod and all those other old games from back then but it's been with me for decades, moreso than even Undertale which I've only ever recently gotten back into thanks to Deltarune. I've met my best friend on there, as well as other friends that have come and gone, I've seen a lot of cool and wacky maps and servers - from my old home server that constantly hosted an honestly impressive recreation of Majora's Mask's Clock town and Termina Field, to Mario_Kart and the weird community servers like Slender Fortress, Saxton Hale and its sister game mode Freak Fortress (who the hell still remembers those TF2 OCs eh?) And the likes
But after Gun Mettle and Meet your Match, something definitely changed in TF2, and it was especially the case with Meet your Match
Nowadays community servers aren't so much the forefront of tf2, more so its valve's official casual servers, I don't even think competitive mode is even alive, and if it is I'm betting it gets the same number of players as current day Mann vs Machine, but I feel like a good chunk of that community was lost after Meet your Match that not a lot of people talk about (well, barring other important matters of course like the never ending bot crisis)
There was a magic to logging onto TF2 back in 2013, 2014 when you can just go to your favorite community server, log on and see the people you've been banting and shitposting with since the day you first got on that server, bunnyhop from one end of the map to the other while shooting at each other while micspamming YouTube poops and rolling the dice for weird and wacky effects.
That server is long gone now, less because of Meet your Match and more because people have moved on
But I suppose in this long winded ramble of a post here on Tumblr the message is:
There is value in a community, no matter what it is. It could be Undertale, TF2, could be that small GMod server you ran with a while back, could be that one romhacking group doing stuff with your favorite Nintendo game, but there is value to it.
Granted TF2 is uh, still edgy as all shit as it was before, it's just now got a wide mixture of people from far and wide, but even as the boomer I make myself out to be, there's still people making Source Filmmaker animations with these characters, there's still people playing the game the way they want to, and these people and more are still making memories on this nearly 2 decade old game.
Dont let anyone say otherwise to ya. There's a value in having a community for that game, for all the fan projects they've made, it will always have its ups and downs, definitely some downs you may never forget, but chances are you've met some of your best friends and gotten to see some cool shit along the way, and hopefully that sticks with you long enough to take inspiration from it in the long run.
Guess that's it for my first post here, bar reblogs, wonder where this will go next.
Here's that link, by the by. Go and give Chet a sub too, he brings in some very good insights on a lot of things if you ask me, at least when it comes to his time at Valve and his creative work with the games that were there
youtube
#tf2#team fortress 2#gmod#valve games#Nostalgia rambling#Keep those communities you love or loved close to your heart#Not all of them will be perfect but what ever is?#Youtube

oh I fully get that grate things, one of our big field trips was down the street to a sewer treatment plant and I grabbed the rails and kinda shimmied on the solid metal while clinging to it so if it did break I'd (probably) be able to hold onto that.
I hate those big grate things they sometimes have on the ground in bigger cities, I walk around them because I worry about them breaking too much (or dropping something important down).
eh my parents aren't the worst, they moreso confuse me more than anything. They're really forgetful and negligent, but also set up cameras covering all the exists to the house and my bedroom door so they could track me, but would forget me at school (we technically lived outside of the bus range so I had to be picked up from school since I wasn't allowed money for bus tickets, so I regularly stayed at school 'til 8pm without more food or whatever.)
your sister sounds super cool, like that's awesome she was able to get all that free food. Sucks she had to do that and couldn't rely on food at home, but I'm glad that that worked. Is she the same one writing the jesus god blasphemy fic? (that's super cool of her)
And uh, admittedly yeah I've stollen before. Mostly just food, but also some small things here and there for gifts since I couldn't afford it (all my money was stuff I find on the ground). Mostly food though, when I was sent out to get groceries I'd steal a thing for myself for my food stash. I think the people at the store knew? but I've never been caught lol
hmm yeah your parents sound like They Are Suck,, but at least they aren't actively malicious?? idk how much consolation that is though.
and nah my older sister is writing the blasphemy fic, my younger sister is still living with our mom at home unfortunately :/ ive got 3 sisters and i generally refer to them as my Oldest, older, and younger sister when talking about all 3 of them.
i only ever tried to steal one thing and it was like, a fuckin leopard print glasses case or something?? and i didnt even like it??? and i was scared that cops were gonna shoot and kill me cause that's what dad always said would happen?? so i just never stole and decided id rather STARVE.
side note, my dad went shopping with me once and got mad that i declined a receipt (because i always forget and just randomly decide if i want it or not) and said that one day someone would accuse me of stealing and if i didn't have the receipt they would shoot me and tell everyone else it was because i was stealing so. now im worried about that too hah.
