Alternate AU: Remembrance
The BPS is still recovering from the disappearances of two of their members, even as the two year anniversary passes. However, it seems that things may be starting to look up as a potential new member shows up.
Notes: this is around 4’867 words, and it’s about the BPS. The funny guys. Don’t know what else to write here so. Hope you enjoy :)
—————
February 14th, 2000
“You sure we’re rolling?”
“Duh. I know how to use a camera, I’m not stupid.”
The television’s screen flickered as the tape rolled, the light reflecting off of Seth’s tired eyes. The TV was the only source of light in the room aside from the faint warm light coming from the crack under the door. Seth was sitting on the floor, his arms crossed on top of his knees, which were huddled next to his chest. He had a dull frown on his face, his expression haggard and blank as he continued to watch the camcorder footage.
“Well. Here we are.” One of the men in the footage stated, gesturing around him with a smile. He was a young looking man with tan skin and dyed silver hair, wearing a grey sweatshirt and leather jacket. He appeared to be in an abandoned theme park, its rides rusted from years of disrepair, and riddled with weeds and overgrown plants. “This is…uh…Adam, where are we again?”
“You forgot the name already?” Adam questioned with a scoff from behind the camera. “Jonah, it’s not that hard to remember.”
“Dude.” Jonah glared at him, his arms falling to his sides.
“Fantasy Park.” Adam responded.
“…Thank you.” Jonah stated, turning around to look towards the rest of the park from the entrance where they stood. “Okay…so, from what I remember…this place was trying to be like…its own Disney Land, and opened like 30 years ago or something, before being abandoned due to the company going bankrupt because no one wanted to come here. Right?” He looked towards Adam for approval.
“You got it…” Adam stated passive aggressively.
“Dude, you’re not giving me much material to work with.”
Seth watched as Jonah and Adam went back and forth for a moment before walking into the park, where the footage cut to them looking at an old indoor roller coaster. Adam pointed the camera towards the abandoned cars, seeing that it was themed after a caterpillar, though the paint was chipped and the metal was covered in rust and graffiti.
“This…is a coaster I believe themed after Alice in Wonderland.” Adam stated. “It’s hard to tell though; the sign fell off of this building a long time ago, and the paint’s peeled off.”
“Someone had beef with someone here.” Jonah stated from off-screen before Adam pointed the camera towards him, seeing that Jonah was looking at the graffiti. “It says…‘Noah if you’re reading this, you owe me 120$ asshole.’ You think Noah gave this dude the money?”
“Nah…probably never even saw the message.” Adam responded.
Seth shifted slightly, partially covering his mouth with his hand. His throat felt dry and his eyes stung slightly as he watched Adam and Jonah wander around the abandoned park, though he didn’t let himself cry. He didn’t need to get sappy over old footage, as much as his heart wanted to cry out. It had been a while, though it felt as if they left only a week ago.
“Yo…hey Adam, look at this.” Jonah stated as he took something off of a dusty counter inside the building, where the entrance to the coaster sat.
“What’s up?”
Jonah turned around, holding his hands up, his face covered by an old mask. He “roared” in some attempt to scare Adam, who seemed…less than amused. Adam groaned and punched Jonah in the shoulder, causing him to stumble back a few steps. “Ow! Come on dude!” Jonah laughed, taking off the mask, shaking his head and making a disgusted face when he smelled the mask he just put on his face.
“Boooooo.” Adam said. “Get better material.”
Adam turned the camera towards his face, holding it away a little bit as he looked towards it. He was wearing a black hoodie, the hood covering most of his curly, pale brown hair. “Sarah, if you’re watching this, see what I have to deal with?” Adam said, glancing back at a giggling Jonah, who entered frame and wrapped his arm over Adam’s shoulder. “I have to deal with this dumb shit while you and Mr. Dipshit do the actually important stuff.”
“Hey, at least I’m smarter than you.” Jonah laughed.
“Shut up, I’m not the one with a brain the size of a walnut.” Adam said, suppressing a smile.
“Hey!” Jonah said in an offended tone as he backed away from Adam. “Asshole.”
Seth looked at the ground, sighing deeply before he heard a knock on the door behind him. Right as he shut the Television off, the door opened, a shadow being cast over his back from the warm light coming from the doorway.
“What are you doing in here?” It was Sarah, her eyes showing concern as she noticed how haggard Seth looked.
Seth sighed, scratching the back of his neck. “Nothing.” Seth stated, grimacing slightly when he stood up. “I don’t…see why that matters.”
“You’ve been sitting in there for days now.” Sarah said softly, meeting Seth’s gaze. “I…barely see you outside of when you get food.”
Seth glared down at the young woman in front of him, who didn’t seem at all affected by his steely gaze. “I’m fine, Sarah.” He said sternly. “…Any calls?”
“Seth…no, we haven’t had any new calls,” Sarah said. “Don’t change the subject. You know you can talk to me…right?”
Seth sighed, shifting his gaze away before brushing past Sarah, walking into the living room. Sarah watched as Seth walked into the kitchen, opening the fridge before looking inside; there was barely anything in there.
“So…you’re just not gonna talk to me?” Sarah stated. “I’m genuinely starting to worry about you.”
“I’m fine.” Seth growled, taking a can of off brand soda out of the fridge before slamming the door closed. “…I don’t see why you need to worry about me. Worry about the job you need to do.”
Sarah crossed her arms, her hands lightly clasping to the fabric of her black hoodie. She looked at the ground, sighing before furrowing her brows. “…Still thinking about them, huh?”
Seth paused, looking as if he froze solid before he quickly shook his head and opened his soda can with a hiss. He didn’t answer her question, instead looking at nothing in particular as he took a drink.
“Seth…it’s…been two years.” Sarah’s voice was soft and shown pensiveness. “I didn’t even…think you were that close to them. Don’t you think…it’s…time to move on?”
Silence once again was the only reply, the question hanging in the air like a rotten stench. However, when Sarah went to say something else, she finally received a gruff response. “It’s getting late…don’t you think?”
Sarah sighed through her nose, realizing he wasn’t going to answer her question. However, she believed she already got her answer, even if he didn’t directly say it. Seth walked past Sarah, preparing to return to his bedroom/storage room before he paused right outside of the doorway. He turned slightly, looking as if he wanted to say something before muttering something in Russian, shaking his head and returning to his room, shutting the door behind him. It looked like Sarah was going to have to wait a few more days for him to talk. She just hoped he’d actually sleep for once.
 The next morning was all of the same; Seth giving Sarah the cold shoulder as he went through the monotonous tasks he normally did, acting as if he was drained of all life. Sarah supposed she shouldn’t have been so surprised, as Seth had acted similar to this for months now, though she couldn’t help but feel as though he was getting…worse. It was almost the level of grumpiness he was when Sarah first met him, though at least he wasn’t actively pushing her away anymore.
Seth sat on the couch, cleaning his shotgun and making sure everything worked properly, checking nearly every ten seconds that it wasn’t loaded and that the safety was on. He had a blank look on his face, focusing on the monotony of the act of cleaning. Sarah watched him from the kitchen as she ate a bowl of cereal, unable to help herself from thinking he should’ve focused more on cleaning the apartment of his trash than his precious gun.
Noticing the silence, Sarah thought for a moment before clearing her throat loudly. Seth didn’t even seem to notice, grabbing a huntsman’s rifle before starting to examine it. Sarah once again cleared her throat, louder that time, though once again Seth didn’t budge. Sarah sighed, looking around the small table she was eating at. She spotted a spare spoon on the other side, reaching over before picking it up. She looked back at Seth before training her gaze on him, throwing the spoon across the room to get his attention. Right before it hit him in the head however, he caught it, barely even looking at it. His eyes shifted, seeing what was in his hand before staring at Sarah.
“Here’s a tip for gun safety; don’t throw shit at the man holding a gun.” He stated, tossing the spoon to the side, it falling to the ground and landing on the carpet.
“How else am I going to get your attention?” Sarah asked.
“…I didn’t know you were trying to talk to me.” Seth said.
“Maybe I should’ve just said your name I guess.” Sarah sighed.
“What did you want anyway?” Seth asked. “If this is about last night, I’m not—”
“No, it’s not just…that.” Sarah said. “Though…it would certainly help if you actually told me what was wrong. Either way, we’re gonna need to go to the store today; we’re out of pretty much everything.”
Seth sighed, staring at the ground for a moment. “Yeah…I know.”
“Should I go later today, or…?” Sarah asked.
“Eh…I’ll go ahead.” Seth stood up, placing the rifle against the wall before reaching for his jacket, which was lying on the other side of the couch. “Might as well get out of this damn apartment for a while…”
“You sure?”
“Yeah…you should stick around ‘nd…see if anyone calls.” Seth sighed, zipping up his jacket and approaching the door. “Oh…one thing; contact me if you need anything, alright?”
“Okay,” Sarah said. “See you in a bit.”
“Right.” With that, Seth opened the door and left, disappearing behind the front door. Sarah sighed quietly before standing up, grabbing her cereal bowl before putting it into the sink. She put her hands into the pockets of her shorts, walking into the living room, unsure of how to shake off her boredom. She would’ve preferred to go with Seth to the store; at least it would’ve meant she was actually doing something instead of waiting for a call that may never come. She ended up deciding to try and get out of her art block and draw something.
She turned towards the hallway, walking down it before opening the door to one of the bedrooms at the end of the hall. She walked inside, approaching the bed, where she saw her sketchbook laying on the messy blanket. She grabbed it before looking towards the nightstand, rummaging through the drawer before digging out a pencil and sharpener. As soon as she retrieved the items, Sarah left the room, walking down the hallway, but pausing in front of another door.
Sarah stared at the plain white door, remembering when it had a makeshift sign hanging on it. Sarah couldn’t remember exactly what was on it, as it seemed to have a different message every week; whatever Adam and Jonah decided would be funny to write and/or draw on it. Sarah felt somber simply staring at the door, but nevertheless grabbed onto the handle and pushed it open.
She stared at the two twin beds on each side of the room, the emptiness of them making a pit form in her stomach. She glanced at the boxes, remembering how she had to fight to keep Adam and Jonah’s belongings, as Seth wanted to get rid of them early on. At least, he said he was going to; Sarah doubted he could’ve brought himself to throw them out.
Sarah remembered Jonah and Adam fondly, though…mostly Jonah. The goofy optimism Jonah exuded made the sad days just a bit brighter for the entire group, even during the days where Seth seemed especially irritable. Adam on the other hand was…difficult to work with; a stubborn, outright mean at times young man that only seemed to be somewhat nice to Jonah. Sarah didn’t hate Adam, though he always seemed insistent on working alone, refusing to listen to outside input. She remembered how Seth and Adam almost seemed to be rivals, one wishing to keep everything under control, and the other refusing to be told what to do. Sarah even remembered Adam telling her how much of a nutcase Seth was, and how he was bringing the group down. Seth didn’t like him much either, though Sarah couldn’t help but think he still missed Adam, despite their…scuffles.
Sarah remembered when they left and never came back; Adam and Jonah being stopped by Seth, being asked where they were going. Adam just told him that it was a day trip, where they were exploring an abandoned restaurant in town somewhere, and telling him to stop worrying about them. She remembered the argument between the two, how Adam said things to Seth that would stick with him ever since that day. Adam seemed so…bitter that day towards Seth, but Sarah didn’t see it at the time. The next thing they knew, Adam and Jonah were gone, and they were never seen again.
For the following two months, Sarah had made missing posters for the two, with Seth helping put them up everywhere they could. However, Sarah could remember the blank expression on his face as he did so; he lost hope much sooner than Sarah had. Some of those nights, Sarah could hear Seth in his room, crying. He blamed himself for their disappearances, whether it was true or not. Sarah just wished she could’ve helped, but she really didn’t know how. Either way, the result was the same. All that was left were the belongings of two young men, full of life, and an empty room.
Sarah practically forced herself to leave the room, slowly closing the door behind her before sighing. She walked down the hall, first wanting to go to the couch and doodle something, but she paused when she stood in front of Seth’s room. She looked inside, seeing the analog television sitting in the middle of the room, noticing the camcorder resting on top of it. Sarah tossed her sketchbook and pencil onto the coffee table before approaching the room, lightly pushing the door open.
It had been a while since she even stepped foot in there, and she could see how much of a mess it was. Clothes were strewn across the floor, lying alongside the boxes of broken equipment and parts that were piled in the corners of the room. Trash seemed to be thrown haphazardly around the room; crumpled cans of soda and cigarette boxes among them. There was even a fist-sized hole in the wall, partially covered by boxes. Seth’s cot was in the corner of the room, and just seeing it made Sarah wonder why he didn’t just break down and get a mattress. No wonder his back hurt all the time.
Despite everything in that room however, the TV was what Sarah’s attention was on, along with the camera resting atop it. She could see the faded signature, “ADAM M” written on the side in black marker, with the very name making Sarah feel a pit in her gut. A small pile of tapes sat next to the TV, all having writing on them reading something along the lines of, “Werksha Warehouse” or “Bythorne Ghost house”, all being in Adam’s sloppy handwriting.
Sarah crouched down pressing her finger against the power button of the TV before seeing the screen flicker on, the lights hitting her face.
“—sylum? So like…real ass crazy people stayed here?” It was the voice of Jonah, who seemed to be standing in the middle of a dark, yet expansive corridor, with the light of the camera beaming on him.
“From what I know, yeah.” Adam stated. “Apparently there was even a children’s ward.”
“Bro…” Jonah visibly shuddered, whether it was from the cold or from feeling unnerved. “Ugh…I don’t like this, dude.”
“Come on, you aren’t pussying out already, are you?” Adam chuckled. “We’re only in the west wing. We still have the rest of it to go through.”
“Well…yeah, but…come on, what if this place is legit haunted?” Jonah asked quietly, his eyes looking at Adam, almost looking as if he wanted comfort from him.
“Even better.” Adam said, much to the chagrin of Jonah. “I mean…what if we already saw a ghost and didn’t even notice? Like the camera caught it but we didn’t?”
“Dude.” Jonah said, unamused. “Don’t do this to me Adam, not now.”
“Who’s to say I’m even Adam?” Adam said in a low, monotone voice, growing silent after he said it. There was silence for a moment, Jonah’s eyes showing uncertainty before Adam began to laugh.
“Bro, I’m kidding.” Adam said, chuckling slightly. Jonah glared at him before sighing.
“…I don’t think you’re very funny.”
Sarah shut off the TV, standing up with furrowed brows; why was Seth watching these? For all she knew, Seth wasn’t necessarily friends with the two, especially Adam, so why would he spend all his time watching, rewinding, and rewatching their investigation tapes? Unless he…
Unless he actually cared about them more than she thought.
 Sarah was sitting in the living room that evening, fiddling with one of their radios before turning it on, testing to see if it was working now. To her surprise, it was, and when she saw that she managed to fix something, she smiled. “Hey Seth!” She called, her gaze focused on Seth’s bedroom door. She heard rustling before the door opened, and Seth stared at her from the doorway, his gaze hard.
“I fixed it!” Sarah held up the radio, a smile on her face. “We should be able to use it now.”
“…hmm.” Seth barely responded.
There was an uncomfortable silence as they both stared at each other,
“If you have the time, maybe you should take a look at the thermal camera.” Seth stated. “If you’re able to, maybe you could fix it too.”
“Oh…I…guess so.”
“Thank you.” Seth said. “I’m…going to bed. You be sure to get sleep too, alright?”
“…Sure.”
Seth nodded, disappearing into his room again before closing the door. Sarah sighed deeply, dismissingly tossing the radio to her side before leaning forward and placing her elbows on her knees, supporting her head with her hands. It didn’t seem like Seth cared at all, though perhaps she shouldn’t have been surprised; he seemed to be especially hard to please for a while, so maybe something as little as repairing a radio wasn’t even close to impressing him. She sighed, getting up before walking to her room; she needed to go clear her head.
After getting dressed, shoving a small pocket knife in her pants pocket just in case, she walked towards the front door. Before she opened it however, she turned around, seeing that Seth’s door was still shut. She thought for a moment before quickly walking over to the counter, grabbing the notepad and writing down a simple message:
“Going out. Be back in an hour.”
She looked at it for a second before writing one last thing underneath the initial message:
“Don’t take the orange soda in the fridge or I’ll punch you. -Sarah”
With that, Sarah rushed out of the door, gently closing it behind her. She almost felt like she was sneaking out of her parents’ house to go hang out with friends, except it was with the leader of the BPS, and she wasn’t going to see friends. Sarah felt somewhat pensive about walking through town when the sun was down, though she didn’t let it affect her. If anyone, or anything, tries to mess with her, she’ll stab them in the throat; just like Seth taught her to.
She walked down the sidewalk, staring at her feet as she kicked a rock across the concrete. It was evening, with the sun barely visible in the orange and deep purple sky. Next to no one was out, with even the occasional passing car being scarce. It was calm, though she couldn’t help but notice how eerie the silence was. She grabbed her knife from her pocket, clutching it from inside her hoodie pocket, starting to feel less confident that she could fight an alternate.
She walked down Main Street, seeing that most of the businesses were closed for the night. However, one of them, a street corner diner, seemed to be still open, with its lights still on and the neon sign in the window still flashing. At least, until the lights shut off and she saw a figure walk to the sign, flicking it off as well. It was a shame really; she had enough money for some fries.
She walked by the diner, seeing a man walk out, immediately approaching a black car that was parked on the side of the road. Sarah couldn’t help but think he looked familiar somehow. He was holding his work uniform, throwing it into the back seat of his car. He had wavy black hair, with a grey streak in his bangs. He had lightly tanned skin, and had a faint mustache on his upper lip, along with stubble on his chin. He wore a white button up shirt, underneath a red hoodie. Sarah continued to try and figure out where she saw him before, until he looked back towards her.
“…Can…I help you?” He asked with his eyebrow raised.
“Oh, sorry, I just…thought you were someone.” Sarah coughed.
“Do I know you?” The man asked, almost feeling as though Sarah was familiar as well.
Sarah was beginning to think he didn’t. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to bother you—”
“Sarah?”
Sarah looked back up at him, a sense of familiarity rushing over her as she realized who she was looking at.
“Cesar?”
           When Seth stepped out from his room, the first thing he noticed was that Sarah wasn’t in the living room like she was prior. It was completely silent, making his hair stand on end. He checked her bedroom, though when she saw she wasn’t there either, he felt his heart sink. “Sarah?” He called, hesitantly opening the door to the abandoned second bedroom before quickly closing it when he saw that no one was there. “Sarah?!”
           He jogged into the living room, his breathing beginning to quicken before he saw the notepad on the counter. He quickly read over it, his breathing calming down, though his anxiety didn’t get any better. What the hell would be so important that she’d leave at sundown? Why didn’t she tell him? He sighed deeply, thinking to himself; she was an adult, which means she’s able to do whatever she wants, even if he wasn’t necessarily happy about it.
           He walked over to the couch, folding his hands on his lap, his leg bouncing as he glanced at the clock. He wasn’t sure when she left, though it was nearing nine, meaning she would be back at latest ten he hoped. God damn it, was he being too overbearing again? Is that why she left? He sighed before standing up, shaking his head before walking down the hallway.
           He entered Sarah’s room, walking past the bed before opening up the closet, which was full of random junk and clothes. He moved the pile of clothes before grabbing something from underneath them; an acoustic guitar. He sat down on the floor, looking at the guitar with a tired expression, beginning to pluck at the strings. If Sarah was going to be gone for a bit, he might as well pass the time; whatever would get his mind off of the possibility of her disappearing for good too was a good enough distraction.
             Cesar and Sarah sat inside of the empty diner, the lights back on as they talked, both laughing at Cesar’s work stories and jokes. They snacked on the fries Cesar had quickly cooked up, ignoring that he wasn’t supposed to do that.
           “Yeah, uh, I’ve been working here for…a month now?” Cesar said. “Not a bad place, though it’s pretty slow most of the time. Though…I may get fired if they figure out I’ve been stealing the donuts.”
           “So you’ve been in Bythorne for…years now?” Sarah asked. “I’ve never seen you around.”
           “Yeah, I moved here a while back,” Cesar responded. “Finished school, moved into an apartment…struggled to get a job, but y’know…”
           “Heh, yeah…I get it.” Sarah sighed. “It’s just that…it’s like you vanished off the face of the planet, you know.”
           “Hmm?” Cesar furrowed his brows.
           “Like…no one saw you for weeks; no one even saw your mom around.” Sarah spoke, Cesar seeming to lose eye contact as soon as she said it. “We started to wonder if…something happened. Hell, I remember the high school even calling the police to check in on you guys, but…no response.”
           “Yeah…uh…” Cesar scratched the back of his neck, sighing deeply. “It’s…complicated. Just wanted out of that damned county, honestly.”
           “Trust me…I understand.” Sarah said. “As soon as I could, I moved out too.”
           “So…what have you been up to?” Cesar asked. “What’s new?”
           “A lot. Definitely a lot.” Sarah chuckled. “Joined and helped create a group called the Bythorne Paranormal Society.”
           “…Oh! Yeah, I’ve heard of that before, seen the flyers around...” Cesar responded. “It uh, i-it’s a…damn it…a supernatural investigation group, right?”
           “Yeah! We go on ghost hunts…cleanse homes of spirits and whatnot, y’know?” Sarah responded.
           “Cool, cool.” Cesar said, clearing his throat a bit. During the silence, Sarah thought to herself, sighing before asking the question.
           “Would you be interested in joining?”
           Cesar looked at her, seemingly surprised by the question. “Oh…uh…I-I don’t know, honestly.” He said. “I mean…I already have a job, as…mediocre as it is.”
           “Oh…well, I mean, it didn’t hurt to ask, I guess.” Sarah looked at her hands, taking another fry from the basket between them.
           “What do you do? Aside from your typical Mystery Gang type shit?” Cesar asked.
           “We investigate supposedly haunted locations, sometimes to check in, and other times to help the spirit move on.” Sarah explained.
           “You get paid?”
           “Yeah, of course.” Sarah said. “Typically around 100 dollars on a simple job, though it can go up to 500, or even 1000.”
           “Huh. Per person?”
           “As a group.”
           “Oh…”
           “Sometimes it’s a struggle, but…depending on the job, we can get a lot of money.” Sarah chuckled, realizing how she wasn’t selling the job as well as she hoped.
           “So…I mean…I’ve had some…questions about things like that.” Cesar said almost hesitantly. “You think I’d be able to get some answers?”
           “…Sure.” Sarah responded. “I’ve definitely learned a lot about certain things from being in the BPS. I think the experiences are the best part of the job…sometimes.”
           “…I’ll…think about it.” Cesar said.
           “Why don’t I show you the HQ?” Sarah asked. “You could at least get used to the idea, seeing everything there and what you do on the investigations.”
           “Uh…well, I didn’t have anything else planned tonight…” Cesar thought aloud. “…Why the hell not, sure.”
           “I’ll show you the way there!” Sarah said, standing up.
           “I can drive there.” Cesar responded. “Though…first I need to clean up everything…I’m not getting fired before I agree to joining some…paranormal society.”
           “Yeah, please don’t get fired.”
           “You want to help?” Cesar asked.
           “…No, but sure, I’ll help.”
           Seth sat next to the wall, staring at his feet as he strummed on his guitar, his expression blank. He was barely playing a song at that point, absentmindedly plucking the strings as he waited for his friend to return. Damn it he was pathetic; he’s alone for an hour and he feels miserable. He didn’t need someone else to be happy, right? Was there a reason why the room felt oddly claustrophobic all of a sudden?
           Seth stood up, ignoring the crack of his knees and back as he walked back to the closet, placing his guitar inside and covering it with junk. As he did, he heard the front door open, along with Sarah speaking. However, as he listened closely, he also heard something else; the voice of a man that he didn’t recognize.
           Seth placed his hand on the pistol holster on his hip, his brows furrowing as he looked down the hallway, unable to see them, but hearing that they were having a conversation. Whoever was talking to his dau—Sarah was going to have a lot of explaining to do, showing up at their home without warning. Seth stormed down the hallway, stopping at the doorway, staring at Sarah and the new, potentially dangerous individual talking to her. Seth’s nose twitched slightly, his shoulders tensing before he spoke.
           “Who is this?”

-BRUH SKATING INSTRUCTOR AINT EVEN AFRAID (I forget his name... Philippe or something)
-At this point Monarch is just a nuisance to the people of Paris lol
-I hope Gabriel’s arm falls off :D
-Oh but like... you could have jumped into the portal
-Hilarious how he just slowly sinks into the portal
-Like byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-Is Chat Noir’s bell a magical pocket space storage?? He was able to keep a piece of paper in there for months??
-Ohhhhh this episode does NOT happen linerally!
-Is that the first time the show has (intentionally) done that? Have the plot progress in a nonlinear fashion
-OH WOW THE MIRACULOUS IS ACTUALLY MELTED DOWN
-Gabriel don’t sneeze. That dust is very expensive lol
-Very interesting... so the cataclysm is a magical burn on Gabriel’s skin
-Boooooo I wanted his hand to fall off lol
-Now his hair is VERY white by the end of this episode
-Could it be that cataclysm accelerated his aging...?

Okay talk to me about the actual Bridgerton book series (not the show!!) and rank from least to most fav!!! I’m halfway through the series. Love reading your HR thoughts ❤️
Thank you! That's very kind of you.
I would only say that I'd truly recommend two Bridgerton books, tbh? While there are others that I think are harmless or good products for what they are, they aren't all for me, and there are a few that I think are... not good.
Anyway, I ranked from most favorite to least by accident, whoops lol.
Currently, I'm at:
When He Was Wicked--Aside from the fact that Michael spent all that time in India (and the Indian princess thing, gross) I generally think this is a the best book in the series. Angsty and tragic and easily the hottest Bridgerton book. I also love the Scottish setting and the independence of the book? I don't care for the family hijinks for the most part, they just aren't to my taste, and Francesca's removal from the family feels very real.
The Viscount Who Loved Me--A great example of a light, frothy enemies to lovers read. I find it quite funny, I think Anthony and Kate have great chemistry, and while some of the Secret Wounds are a bit contrived, the quality of the book in general allows me to overlook them. "It's never been so good" is such a great post-orgasm hero line, also.
It's In His Kiss--I think it's cute! A fun little mystery romcom romp. I don't remember much of it. I also think the line "Gareth no/Gareth yes" thing is like... Ripped from another Bridgerton book lmao. I forget which one, but I remember reading that and going "she's done that before", and authors always repeat things, but distinct dialogue like that should've been caught by an editor.
Romancing Mr. Bridgerton--Penelope is totally different in the books, so I like her just fine. Colin's personal conflict of not being good enough or being jealous of her achievements is... irritating. I'm kind of super not into the Benedict and Colin conflict being "I'm not the heir and therefore have no responsibilities and am merely the handsome purposeless brother who gets an income from Anthony". It's boring, it's whiny, it's whatever. But this is a fine friends to lovers book (where he didn't notice her sexually until she lost weight lmaooo).
On the Way to The Wedding--I don't remember this one super well and I remember being profoundly bored by Gregory. But it wasn't offensive.
The Duke and I--If it wasn't for the rape, this would be a cute romcom, but the rape is undeniable and unaddressed.
To Sir Phillip, with Love--Sir Phillip is a horrible, boring hero who sounds like his main conflict is "too bad my wife got postpartum depression and I had sex with her even though I could tell she didn't want it and then she killed herself, woe is me". Eloise sacrifices all of her fun personality and freedom to be a stepmom to a couple of annoying kids. Boooooo.
An Offer from A Gentleman--Benedict is an annoying as fuck whiny hero who basically spends the entire book badgering Sophie for sex. He has no reason to not marry her, because he has no title and has an older brother who will finance his lifestyle, and is very understanding in general. Sophie is a flat heroine who doesn't seem to have any level of self-determination. Then, when she has sex with him, she's clearly traumatized by giving up her principles and he dithers before being like "oh well, I guess I'll marry her". WOW. ROMANTIC.
Those are my thoughts!

Sat down and played some M3 today and got to replay Stones Unturned ^-^ god this DLC is so fcking weak but I still love it unfortunately.
Still seems like it's not even like a rare dialogue it's just a cut dialogue of Marshall's "Creature of Habit" comment or his comment abt lil mexican crows. I rlly wish I could hear both of those fully. Like ughhhhhh. ESPECIALLY the CoH line. Like you cannot have this be the opening mission name and cut the line that adds the punch to it like PLS.
Everytime I see Aldridge's opening scene in Welcome to the Show, I'm like damn this guy is so smug it's not even funny. And it's just wild how just seeing him again could have John freeze up nearly that ENTIRE time, and when John does speak they're just not really good anything. Just it is wild how much you can tell Aldridge has seriously impacted John. And like you can tell by his smirk and smug attitude the entire time he clearly gets a kick out of being able to have that affect on him. It's just so wild seeing. I will forever wish we could see those two when they were good. What that was like because they had to be close, just had to be. I still think it's bullshit they only met in '54 and then in 'again in Vietnam' because of John's admiration of him. Though I do suppose I get the rlly only getting to rlly know each other in 'Nam and it being from '61 to '63 though that mirrors Lincoln and John a little *too* closely imo but now that is very interesting to think abt....but regardless I think they def worked together more in between that and John just didn't say anything because, damn, the senator is shit at pushing questions.
It was nice seeing, I just adore John and Lincoln's interactions it's not even funny. I just want MORE THOUGH. I just love how fluid their back and forth is. And while sometimes it's a little odd, it's never forced. You can tell these two have been alongside each other for 2 years. You can see where they both may have slight reservations but you also see still how they work off of one another. And how they genuinely, actually care about another. And that I just love. Thinking about how Lincoln just KNEW John, and knew he would be a little frazzled by one of Aldridge's taunts, and instantly tells him Aldridge is full of shit. And not to listen to him. And John's like pause and how he utters out a small weak response. Just I just really like that they have that understanding of one another. Because I love that we see that in the main game John do similar for Lincoln. And just I am sorry I can ramble forever how much I love these twoooooooo.
And lol, caught another dialogue that I have never caught with Gary, the C*A Pilot or whatever he is technically. And he makes a "I don't swing that way" joke that made rlly no sense. How does this man have like only a handful of lines but have that scary(TM) voice that's clearly military/gov't that I just don't trust and makes a homophobic joke. Like boooooo!

em em em congrats on 300!!!!! ❤️ for the event can i request #58 with bokuto from hq? kissing ur cheeks rn i'm so proud ! <3333
hello my lovely soph!! i am kissing your cheeks right back. thank you for sending this in <3 and thank you for supporting me always! i hope i did our sweet bokuto justice, and i hope you enjoy :)
Prompt #58 - "Did I just say that out loud?"
Pairing: Bokuto Koutarou/GN!Reader
Words: 1.2k
Warnings: none! just fluffy fluff
Summary: As you and Bokuto decorate for Atsumu's surprise birthday party, Bokuto accidentally lets something slip.
“Bo! Oh my god, I can’t breathe…Bo!”
Doubled over in belly laughter was no rare situation when you were with Bokuto. That could easily be said for just about anyone who knew him, but for you, time spent with him was full of warmth and forever memories being made. Since getting to know him, you had plenty of memories you knew would last a lifetime.
And like always, you two were messing around when work was needing to be done.
It was Atsumu’s birthday, and a surprise party was in store for him in a few hours. Shoyo had organized it, assigning tasks to different members of the MSBY team, and he had also recruited the help of you for decoration duty. Along with Bokuto.
Shoyo had just left the apartment to go get paper plates, forks, cups, and other last minute supplies while you and Bokuto were left to your own devices. Which meant launching latex balloons all over the living room.
Immature as it might have been, the sound that was produced from those deflating balloons was funnier as the minutes passed by. You were on the floor, holding your stomach as Bokuto was in the process of blowing up another balloon, his contagious laughter leaking out in between his breaths. You could barely hold back your own laughter, watching his goofy smile grow just before he let the balloon go and watched it fly all around the living room.
Hearing Bokuto’s laughter was like a sweet melody as it rang out, and while you were giggling yourself, you loved the way his eyes lit up along with his amusement. Bright and lovely and shining. He made your chest bloom with happiness. He made you feel like no one else made you feel.
Getting to know him was a joy. Bokuto was truly like no one else you had ever met: loud and lively and spirited, insightful and empathetic and comforting, flirty and funny and cute. The way he lived and viewed the world was fascinating, and you got to see it every day by being his friend.
By being his friend, you realized you didn’t really want to be just his friend. But you had to. He could never know how you truly felt.
“Okay,” you said through a sigh, a few loose giggles escaping. “Okay, we need to get serious. The party start in like, an hour.”
Bokuto was laying on his back across the room, hands laying on his stomach. “Boooooo,” he whined, still laughing himself. “I don’t wanna. Why can’t we just do this for like, the whole night?”
You raised an eyebrow at him, picking up a deflated balloon in front of you. “What, make balloons fart all night?”
Bokuto giggled at that, rolling over to lay on his side to face you. “Yeah, it’s fun! Plus we don’t have to talk to other people for hours,” he trailed off in a mumble.
You paused in the middle of blowing up a balloon, taking it away from your mouth. “Oh? Since when do you not want to socialize, Mr. Chatterbox?”
Continuing to blow up the balloon, you watched Bokuto roll back over on his back with a sigh. “I don’t know, just don’t feel like it tonight.”
Trying not to think too deeply about your friend’s odd behavior, you smiled. “Well still, you gotta make appearances. And we have to show off our decorations.”
As you tied your balloon, you heard Bokuto mumble something. “Huh?” You asked. “I can’t hear you.”
Bokuto sighed loudly, turning back to lay on his side. “I said I’m sure Meian will have something to say about it.”
You stared at him completely dumbfounded before he turned back over on his back, messing around with a balloon in his hand.
“Bo,” you said. “What do you mean?”
“Nothing.”
“Bo.”
“Nothing.”
“Bo!”
“Fine!” Bokuto said finally, sitting up and facing you. “He’s just always so flirty with you. Always saying some…comment. Like ‘Nice job on the decorations you’re one of a kind please marry me’…or something.”
You giggled softly at the ridiculous misconception. “Bo, he’s not flirting with me, oh my god. Like, not in the slightest.”
Bokuto looked down at his hands in his lap. “Yeah, maybe.”
“Bo,” you prodded again.
“What,” he mumbled, still avoiding your eyes.
“Hey,” you frowned. “Bo, what’s bothering you?”
You knew it couldn’t have been just the fact that Meian was a little overly friendly sometimes. You could see it in the dullness of Bokuto’s normally bright eyes. Something was on his mind because he kept looking down, messing with the balloon in his hand.
So you did what you always did.
You grabbed a deflated balloon off the ground and started filling it with air, all the while watching Bokuto pout into his lap. He definitely wouldn’t be pouting any longer.
You let the balloon go in the direction of Bokuto, the loud noise making him look up to watch it fly all around the room, and you did the same.
What you weren’t counting on, however, is the balloon flying straight into Bokuto’s face and smacking his cheek.
Your hands flew up to your mouth to muffle the laugh that was threatening to escape your lips, and Bokuto stared you down before a giant grin spread across his face.
“Oh my god,” you said behind your hands with a snort.
“Come here,” he mumbled through that lovely grin, beginning to stand up and head towards you.
You stood up with a smiley squeal, heading for your escape before Bokuto got you. You held your arms out in front of you to try and block his first attempts to get you. You laughed as you two circled each other in the living room, and the Bokuto launched at you. “Come here!”
Exploding in laughter, you tried to run away but Bokuto grabbed you by the waist and hoisted you up in his arms, spinning you around while uncontrollable giggles rang out in the apartment.
In Bokuto’s embrace, you felt so happy, safe, and loved. Whether or not he knew your feelings, you were content with being with him. In his presence, you were the luckiest person in the world.
Bokuto ceased his spinning, and while your laughter died down, you looked up at him. He tightened his hold around you, grinning brightly himself.
“That’s what you get,” Bokuto joked. “For hitting me with the balloon.”
You giggled again. “At least it made you smile, right?”
Bokuto’s expression softened, and you felt your heart melt. With a sigh, he mumbled, “You’re lucky I’m in love with you.”
Your heart stopped completely.
“What?” You said immediately. “What did you say?”
Bokuto’s expression flipped into a look of shock. “D-Did I just say that out loud?”
You stared at him while your chest swelled with hope and joy. “You…you said…you’re in love with me.”
With a breathy laugh, Bokuto stumbled over his words. “Uh…y-yeah I…I did say that. I…I’m in love with you.”
You could hardly hear him with your heart roaring in your ears. But you placed a hand on his cheek. “Bo, I’m in love with you, too.”
Bokuto wasted no time placing his lips softly on yours, and you had never felt more whole in your life.
“Ew you sickos!” Shoyo’s voice suddenly rang out in the apartment. “It’s about damn time…”

For the trope mashup could you try Accidental Marriage and Star Crossed Lovers?
I feel like that’d be kinda funny
Any ship will do lolol but preferably one with Remus
ok... anon... I know you said funny, but my mind has been plagued by nothing but angst for this prompt and I tried writing this like 3 times already so I'm giving you the least angsty one.
Pairing: familial creativity twins, mentions of intrulogical
Summary: Roman bullies consoles Remus after a night out drinking brought up more heart troubles than Remus was willing to admit.
Warnings: some swearing on Romans part, surprisingly.
Word count: 586
Remus groaned into a pillow, trying desperately to drown both his thoughts and Roman's snickering.
"It's not funny, Ro."
"It kinda is."
Remus slowly raised his head, glaring at his brother.
"Roman I married Logan-"
"Which you wanted to do for years-" Roman pointed out, that insufferable grin still adoring his face.
"That only makes it worse!" Remus groaned, throwing a pillow at his brother, who unfortunately ducked just in time. "I was lucky he was still asleep when I woke up."
"I never seen you leave a bed so fast." Roman grinned, "especially when you had, and let me quote you here 'a hot ass withing arm reach'"
"Are you mocking me?"
"Always." Roman grinned and Remus slammed his head into another pillow, growling softly.
Silence filled the room until he heard footsteps coming closer and the bed shifting under his brother's weight as he awkwardly patted him on the head.
"Roman, I love him."
"Its good that you got married then." Remus raised his head to glare at his brother, who smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, sorry. I still find it a little funny. I just-never expected you to be so distressed over romance. That's usually my job."
"It's not about romance." Remus groaned, rolling onto his back to glare at the ceiling. Roman laid down next to him. "It's about Logan."
"Why don't you just-talk to him?." Roman asked after a while. "You're already married. How bad can it be?"
"Easy for you to say! I've never been good at the whole ‘talking normally’ shit!"
"That didn't seem to stop you before" This earned Roman a pillow to the face.
"What if I make it worse?" Remus asked, barely over a whisper. "I just- care a lot about him. But then I went and got drunk and married him."
"He said 'I do' too, didn't he?"
"Yes but-"
"Well as an expert on romance." Roman grinned as he rolled onto his elbow to grin down at his brother. "That usually means someone likes you."
"Well as an expert on getting wasted." Remus said flatly. "People never make good decisions while being drunk. And I'm the worst one Logan has made yet."
Remus could feel his brother's stare on him. Great, just what he needed, those pitying glances.
"He likes you, Remus."
"I don't need you to lie Roman, that's what I got Janus for." Remus groaned. "What if he hates me now?" He added softly. "
"Well, I can't believe I'm saying this but-" Roman said. "You're starting to sound like me and it's getting annoying."
"See what I had to deal with all these years?" It was Remus' turn to earn himself a face full of pillow. "Murder! Oh betrayed by my own brother."
"Oh hush it you green goo."Roman said in mock seriousness." Stop annoying me as I'm trying to help."
"But that's what I'm good at."
"You're also good at giving advice." He added.
"Boooooo!!! Boring!"
"And since your advice of 'stop being a fucking pissy and talk to your crush-'"
"nope, not that one."
"-seemed to work for me so far-"
"nope. Don't like this" Remus groaned as he hid his face under a pillow.
"-I'd like to suggest you do the same."
"I really have to talk to him about this, don't I?"
"I'm afraid you do."
"I hate when my own advice makes sense."
"That makes two of us."
Remus smacked his brother with his pillow one last time, drowning out the snickering. He hated getting crushes, it always brought out the 'Roman' in him, while it brought out the 'Remus' in his brother. Unfortunately the only way to get rid of his "romanness" was to actually stop pinning and confront Logan for once, but that didn't mean he wasn't dreading the upcoming talk.

Since you want asks, PLSSSE I want your Utena TH0ughts. WHAT is your favourite black rose episode? actually how do you feel about the black rose arc in GENERAL
black rose arc, black rose arc, oh black rose arc!!! by you adding how do i feel about the arc in general you are unleashed me to make a long post giving my very disorganized thoughts about this arc.
a couple of people call it a filler arc? i guess technically it is because it does not directly contribute to the main storyline and it wasn't in the manga and also the ending of the arc sort of makes it so the whole arc kind of didn't happen???
but also i think if a person labeled it as a filler arc they are kind of missing the point?? even if it doesn't contribute to the main plot (which it absolutely DOES but i'll get to that) it adds so much nuance to the characters of utena.
you get to see side characters and how they tick!! some of which like kozue and shiori become very important later as they become miki and ruka's rose brides in the akio arc! (side note : what was up with ruka he just kind of showed up and disappeared lmaooo)
also, it adds to akio! (tw warning for only the next paragraph, i'm talking about akio so you can except me talking about grooming and abuse)
not only is this where akio is introduced, but he is always so omnipresent. it was ... honestly really terrifying to see how chill he acts with utena here. of course the real grooming begins in the akio arc but you can see how he starts here. how he kind of builds himself as anthy's cool older brother that utena can trust and ask for advice for... but we the audience know that he CANNOT be trusted as even know we see him being shady af in the background. i really feel like if we skipped straight from the first arc to akio arc a lot of the creepiness of akio would not have been realized because of ... just how NORMAL he akio acts to utena. he's charming, he's smart, and he overall is somebody utena SHOULD be able to trust bc we should all be able to trust an immediate family member of a best friend , but of course the world doesn't really work that way. anyway akio tangent over because BOOOOOO akio (he honestly terrifies me so much because of how many predators like that exist and you can meet without realizing their intentions)
BACK TO BLACK ROSE ARC
one of the main reasons i feel like this isn't a filler arc, at least not in the traditional sense of the phrase, is because it builds a lot character relationships. something that i didn't like when i first watched revolutionary girl utena but now is one of my FAVORITE things is that for a while we don't really get a straight forward utena/anthy episode. because their relationship doesn't need to build in an episode, it just slowly builds over time. we just see these two causally existing and they just start to trust each other.
in the akio arc we get to see just how close utena/anthy have gotten over the series because of their late night conversations. like how if the black rose arc didn't exist akio wouldn't have been as impactful, if the black rose arc didn't exist it would feel more sudden how close utena/anthy have grown imo.
this arc adds a lot to the world as well. as long as the students stay inside of school they will not grow. dead people wander the halls thinking that they are still alive. these two facts contribute a lot to utena theorizing and analysis (mainly, the ideas that ohtori exists within a plain of frozen time literally because of anthy's magic and metaphorically because the cast is very cozy in their coffin) and i could not thank this arc for that enough. not only are these very cool ideas that may or may not have inspired elements in my own story (i can neither confirm or deny that one of my oc story is heavily inspired by utena) but they just add so many layers!
this arc also felt necessary because of the new duelists??? if we went straight from the first arc to the akio arc then it would've kinda gotten very tiring to see the student council constantly duel and lose to utena (with the exception of touga's sole victory to utena in the first arc before she duels him again and wins) but these new duelists possessed by the black rose are very interesting!
if i did have to make a compliant about this arc, though, i will say that at times the stories felt very disconnected to each other. while it was very funny for utena to not even know who keiko was when she dueled her, it would've been nice if sometimes the arc of the black rose duelist intertwined more with utena. as the arc goes on, the student council is on alert and is trying to figure out where the black rose is coming from, but they never really try to ask utena about it and utena never really tries to get involved? she just is chill until she gets the note to go to the duel arena to fight the black rose duelist. i don't really have a solution on how to fix this? maybe have the student council member that the black rose duelist takes the sword from be more involved? idk.
the villain of this arc mikage also really fascinates me??? i... really like him??? but not even as a villain ... i just really pity him. the realization he has in his duel with utena that everything he has been doing is for nothing because mamiya is already dead .. that always really hit me? the horror in his voice when he starts to recall the truth in his false memories.... for some reason, this is one of the most terrifying parts of the show for me. the realization that something you were doing, something you were doing that might've been awful but you were doing it because of somebody you care about deeply and love, it was all for nought. how much time he has wasted...
even before his duel with utena, there's this moment when after he got punched by utena he says something like "if she hadn't seen my duelist ring and challenged me to a duel, she could've killed me" or something like that, he's just so pathetic and i feel very bad for him but at the same time am too disconnected to him to truly feel empathy for him... that's some TOP TIER shit
overall, this part of the show is one of my favorites. the only part i like more is the last few episodes because it makes me very emotional.
NOW FOR THE SPECIFICS
favorite black rose duelist: honestly? wakaba. the girl deserves it this is stress relief for her. not only is this duel very emotional as i don't think we've ever seen utena refuse to duel somebody (at least not in the way that she does in this episode) but just the SHEER emotion.
i'm a real sucker for fighting the person you care about the most which is why the dark signer arc in yugioh 5ds is the best yugioh arc and this just really takes the cake in this arc. utena always shows concern for the black rose duelist because they are clearly people in pain who were not able to properly duel with their grief which let mikage manipulate them, but it's taken to a new level here.
the way that after the duel is completed, wakaba comes home to her empty dorm where saionji used to be but now isn't always gets me. she's just such a lonely girl and that's never really resolved for her. a lot of the other duelists have a optimist note to end on (kozue asking miki for a milkshake, shiori and juri saying hello to each other as they walk past, keiko being friends with nanami again, etc.) which is why the fact that wakaba is more alone now then she is ever... it is a feeling i can relate to an almost embarrassing amount.
favorite episode: COWBELL OF HAPPINESS, NANAMI TURNS INTO A COW-
ANTHY YOU GLORIOUS TROLL-
favorite episode that isn't cowbell of happiness: i'm very torn between the landscape scaped by kozue and thorns of death. shiori and kozue are both very interesting characters that i like a lot. but i'm going to go with thorns of death for now, as while i really like the landscape scaped by kozue, i think my preferred miki/kozue episode is their episode in the akio arc. meanwhile i like thorns of death way more than i liked whispers in the arc (mostly because i just do not really care that much for ruka, but azure paler than the sky was a banger and he was in that?) i just loved the feeling of seeing shiori the girl juri loves so much and juri's reaction to seeing her. the way my heart was wrenched when black rose shiori mocks juri... it really did hit different. but the hopeful ending did make me feel a lot better. i do like the way that juri out of all the student council members is the one closest to self actualization and this really sets that up even if there is still a bumpy road until then.
honorary mention: the boys of the black rose and kanae as a black rose duelist are both really great. i feel like if this wasn't the arc opener it would've had more room to stretch its legs and show how horrific it could've been. kanae is a girl i feel really bad about and similar to wakaba, i don't really think her episode was a very optimistic ending for her especially since akio probably killed her later in the show?
honestly the minute akip appeared on screen, engaged to a girl who HASN'T EVEN GRADUATED and is also emotionally manipulating her so much and having his little sister manipulate her too... throw the whole man away
tl;dr - the black rose arc is very good and i like it a lot, the ending of the arc really fucks me up, somebody give mikage & all the black rose duelists therapy, throw akio in the garbage, and this show probably exists in some sort of time loop / frozen time space as a metaphor for the whole coffin thing but you can probbaly find people smarter than me talking about that.
oh and go rewatch cowbell of happiness it's great

i'm still making my way through hotel del luna but i do love it so far!! i'm watching girls planet 999 right now too and yeo jingoo is a great mc!
omg my top 5 worst kdramas....okay i do have thoughts hope these aren't too controversial looool (these aren't really in any particular order i disliked all these pretty equally)
1. boys over flowers - i couldn't get through it, i tried but it's just not it. the heirs is better, i said what i said
2. do do sol sol la la sol - i have such hate in my heart for this drama because it had such great potential and was ruined with horrible plot twists and writing that made no sense. BOOOOOO. and this isn't even about go ara, i know people don't like her but i thought she did as well as she could with this horrible source material
3. dream high - i have a love/hate relationship with this show but it's mostly hate because the love triangle was so weird, it felt like they changed their mind about who suzy should end up with halfway through. also putting iu in a fat suit was a choice that really makes it not age well lol
4. start up - again, had so much potential and was just ruined. the secondary characters really carried this one for me and i'm so glad seonho is shining in hometown cha cha cha right now because he deserves it after this mess
5. true beauty - this might be controversial and i like eunwoo, but i just couldn't get into this. i watched like 6 episodes and had to give up, i hate the whole "betraying my friend because the boy i like likes her" troupe so when that came into play i had to give it up. i liked my id is gangnam beauty more
sorry this got so long, i have a lot of opinions lol
-unianon 💫
Omg I'm watching girls planet 999 too,, I can't deal with Yeo jingoo he always appears with a different fancy suit it's so funny... I can only make fun of him dhdnsm he's a bro
Anyways good takes about the worst kdramas agbsns from these I've only watched start up and I mean it was alr it didn't make me feel that many emotions but yeah just another drama hshdhdnns
About boys over flowers vsbsnz I have a friend that is always talking shit about it so I didn't watch, the do sol la sol one, I saw it on Netflix and I looked at it and I was like,, No. Gsndjs so that was a pass too ,,, dream high never heard of it but maybe it's better that way dhdjjdnd and about true beauty I've been reading the webtoon since the beginning and when I saw the news it would have a drama adaptation I was like.... 😬😬 Yeah.... Not cute dhndndns so that was a skip too ❤️
About my top3 worst kdramas... I have some controversial opinions too fjmfmdms pls don't snipe me but,, in no particular order:
1) (tbh this real be the drama I hate the most ever): tempted or the great seducer. Bro... Brooo BROOOOO this drama made me feel stuff I didn't knew I could... The amount of RAGE I felt while watching this...... It was just so painfully annoying... And like I finish like 99% of the dramas i start, so I made myself go through this, and it really was a near death experience gsbdnmd love the cast, SUBURB cast, joy, moon gayoung, woo dohwan, Kim minjae... Bro AND FOR WHAT.......... never again
2) 100 days my Prince. Kyungsoo literally carried this shit sbdnndmssb such a boring show god .... The main girl, I've seen more dramas with her but I just don't really vibe with her as an actress so that didn't help either gsbdndns but yeah I mean,,, kyungsoo outshined BY FAR.

just finished reading through ohm's links (only got through a few then had to get back to studying boooooo) and WOOOOOOO PETITION FOR MIHOYO TO MAKE HIM A REAL CHARACTER?? WHERE DO I SIGN??? (sandrome i shall conquer tomorrow for sure :>)
i just?? he seems like such a gentle person that's also really powerful but chooses not to indulge in it hngnghghghghgh HE SEEMS REALLY SWEET :D
the academy bit is interesting, i'm really curious as to what happened to him there (and also the part where he disappeared and reappeared with a bunch of scars).
his lineage is really interesting: a fading bloodline that only has a sole survivor? he must feel such a heavy weight on his shoulders :(
his voicelines cracked me up a bit because he has such a distinct sense of humor that's both sort of dry but still funny enough to make me giggle LOL. like this one for example (made me smile cause it was cute hehe):
Tumblr media
but there are also parts where he's super caring and attentive and his role of a doctor comes out which is really interesting!
anyways lane, ohm is an amazing oc and i want to give him many hugs (also you're so creative with his voicelines and stories and even his design it just radiates so much character!!! ohm is a breath of fresh air and i can't wait to get through the rest of the links!)
October 11th I'll be launching a website for the Ambros Twins, people are encouraged to drop the website link in the feedback box of Mihoyo's surveys! so that's the petition to make them real hehe. I'm glad you like him though and can't wait to hear more of your thoughts!
Ohm is certainly something, yeah. I can definitely agree with the very powerful but doesn't indulge in it thing. He has some wicked abilities that he pretty much never uses lmfao- I love him he's v sweet to his citizens
I will say nothing except the academy gets expanded upon in Sandrone's information (,:
That he does. That bit is also expanded upon in the Collected Misc. But yes Ohm is quite.. He does his best, we'll go with that pfft.
You know those memes where someone is trying to tell you smth important and a truck passes by? Yeah that's that voiceline- Ohm is such an odd character to write and voice. But he has his moments. Out of his funnier lines I think my favourite one is the fountain line.
Thank you so much though!! This made me happy to read :)<3 Please hug him the man needs them lmao bye- Thank you again though really. I put a lot of time into him so I'm just :D reading all this haha

my favorite part about TURN is how most of Ben’s little handful of Personal Enemies tend to just. forget he exists. usually (but not always) right after verbally confirming their intent to murder him.
( disclaimer: this is a very silly list and not meant to be taken seriously at all, especially toward the end, although imo i’ve got a point on some of them XD )
Simcoe is more implied, but i mean he has his own special way of saying Ben’s name and a very good reason to Absolutely Hate Him (they share a birthday!), they had an excellent dialogue basically debating each other under the guise of playing Devil/Angel to Newt...but ultimately he’s content to go after Abe and Caleb and be the bane of Anna’s existence and never think about Ben again.
Rogers literally spends all of s1 on a full-on quest to get revenge against Ben for having the audacity to fight for his life and survive Rogers’ ambush. The first time he hears Ben’s name, it zooms in on his face as a “oh sh** he comin” song plays over the scene.The last time they see each other, Rogers  l i t e r a l l y  swears to hunt Ben down....and then only ever mentions him again, one time, to Abe, and then hecks off to do his own thing and doesn’t even go back to the Must Kill Tallmadge quest after finishing the Must Kill Jandre quest. Drops Ben like a hot potato (not an inaccurate label but we digress)
Sarah considered shooting him but she isn’t really on this list
Arnold gives his whole stupid spiel in the tavern about how Ben’s one of the Meddling Kids who ruined his life and how he Will Not Let That Stand and then, to be fair, you know what, actually he might have been trying something when he invited Ben to turncoat. He knows Ben’s Head of Intelligence. Maybe he had a little backstabby plan there. We’ll give him half a point for inviting Ben via postcard to come to his little ratbastardly house party, immediately after verbally confirming intent to murder him...before proceeding to never think about or mention Ben again. half a point to Arnold. However points off for lack of follow-through or finesse bring his score to a number so negative we don’t actually have a number for it.
Lee not only decided he wanted to murder Ben, but was also fully gonna make it happen until Wash intervened and then Lee couldn’t even be bothered to plot in the background or send assassins or anything. no points. actually two points for the hilarious scene where he does intend to attempt murder. but points off for being Lee and also for giving up. Hasn’t he heard of Try, Try Again? I mean Ben’s fully immune to death but come on, dude.
Randall got his face rearranged by Ben (and the people said amen) and while it was mentioned that there was a fallout from this (for Ben) we didn’t see it and Randall didn’t discuss it and it was never brought up again. Granted there is nothing that could improve Randall’s score at this stage of the game but you know what now his score is even lower. Randall Sucks, objectively.
To be fair, Gamble never claimed he’d like to- actually no I take it back he actually did verbally confirm that, for pretty much no reason, he’d like to not only murder Ben but also ~be mean to him~ first. Actively attempted to hunt him down after he escaped but apparently was eventually like “eh, forget it” before getting indecisively d’Artagnan’d by Ben. He doesn’t lose any points though because he’s got a cute smile and is weirdly charming in a swamp weasel kind of way. Also used his last words to make a pun.
Bradford’s on the list just bc he did not give a damn. He didn’t forget anything with Ben bc Ben was barely on his radar to start with. He was so unconcerned with actually participating in the rivalry, that Ben had to carry 90% of it himself. Every time Ben shows up Bradford’s just like 🙄 doesn’t lose any points bc the only reason he didn’t make a solid attempt to do whatever he was going to do right after announcing intent to do something, was that Caleb was there as backup (always) and then the whole dying thing happened. Solid effort, Brad, deserved better and i like him so much. 9/10
Hewlett’s on the list just in order to mention that Ben literally charged into town with guns blazing and ruined his day and Hewlett was just like...he had nothing to say. Ben was off his radar so fast they couldn’t even get to the Personal Enemies stage.
Jandre unfortunately loses some points for the fact that Ben gets outed to him as Head of Intelligence and Johnsauce doesn’t particularly care or do anything with that information he’s just like “that’s weird bc based on what I know about Tallmadge, the kid sucks, but based on what I know about Washington’s Head of Intelligence, the kid is brilliant. Huh.” so he loses points for never even trying to ruin Ben’s day or anything like that but he gets a pass bc their little interaction bit was all sweet and mutal-respecting and emotionally just. yeah.
Mary’s on the list because she should have had a personal grudge like “you’re the one who invited my husband into your dangerous little spy club?” and they had some tension but she didn’t do anything and really all they did was yell at each other so u-u
hell let’s throw Scott on here too because he was like “dISCIPLINARY ACTION” but then he was like “...LATER.” like dude you can shoot like three dudes dead with no trial but you can’t even roll up one of those reports and bop Ben on the head with it? tch. no gumption Scott, you suck. Loses points because he was so convinced that someone else would handle Ben for him that he (thankfully) didn’t just do it himself.
you know what let’s actually put Washington on this list too just because of the fact that two different times, TWO TIMES, he reaches the point of being like “TALLMADGE YOURE FIRED” and literally nothing happens. Especially funny because the first time, he said Ben was fired for not being able to get the spies to listen to him and follow orders...and then Ben proceeds to...not...follow orders...like ever. at all. straight-up planned to go behind Wash’s back to rescue Hewlett but Caleb was like “I got this”...continued to defy orders right up through the second time he got fired. 10/10 but no actually Washington loses some points for just being like “I’m done with you. You’re fired.” instead of dropping that cape over Ben’s head and then spinning him a few times or something. Show some initiative, my guy, be creative. Express yourself. Anyway he apparently forgot Ben had been fired both times it happened so. List.
Peggy’s on the list because not only did she cook up a scheme to try to at least get information from Ben, she also...look, she was told by Arnold that Ben’s Head of Intelligence. The wheels turned, onscreen, for God and everybody to see. She goes to Ben, turns on the charm, which he’s too busy admiring the clock and being sad to properly appreciate, had that whole thing where she was like “Hey,,,,wanna dance,,” and he was like “I’m at your service” (!!!!!!!!) and she was like, “I should think so” (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and there was nothing happening right then that wasn’t her being like “i’m gonna squeeze this himbo for every ounce of war-critical intel he can give me. won’t even know what hit him��� aND THEN IT’S NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN. SHE JUST. SPOKE TO HIM LIKE ONE TIME AND DROPPED THE WHOLE SCHEME. WIThIN THE SAME EPISODE. 1000000000000/10 Iconic, Pegs. Well done on the “Let’s not bother with Tallmadge, he’s a silly boy” angle!
Lastly let’s actually put Tarleton on here just because i mean in real life, he and Tallmadge allegedly had a run-in (an ambush, actually) that involved him stealing Tallmadge’s horse, some money, and some documents. In the show? Never even shows up. Not even mentioned. Dude quit before he even started that’s how uncommitted...boooooo

Let the Rescue Mission begin!
Tumblr media
Finished writing the Yoru crashes the Ghost Marriage story, her and Ortho are going to fuck shit up, no one marries Idia on their watch. What did they blow up? Probably Crowley tbh. Also remind me to never draw Ortho again, 11/10 regrets.
I tried to make it fit along with the regular story as best I could, so I used some of the text from @kibadreams​ translation of it! (Go check out the translations if you haven’t already, and leave a tip if you can :D) All translation text I’ve used I’ve got in italics, final word count is 1900! Full story under the cut.
Crowley gestured grandly at the students gathered around him, “A friend's life is in danger. And I know the wonderfully kind students here will save Shroud-kun……” He wilted with the resounding chorus of no’s he’d received in response.
“What, why? You've gotta help me!” Ortho said, rejected and hurt that no one was willing to help his brother.
Vil sighed and shrugged, looking at Ortho with pity ”He's always avoiding people, and only appears when there's a problem to be solved. You're asking too much.”
”This is your "brother's" problem. Do something about it yourself.” Leona drawled, not willing to help either. 
Ortho sighed, dejected. ”….. I see. Fine, ugh. I'll be okay by myself. Simulating: Idia Shroud recovery pattern. Condition: prioritize speed of rescue operation. …..Simulated operation successful. Now executing actual operation. Now loading dark magic. Target locked: Set on Nightraven College, Main Building. Time until dark magic beam fire: 5 seconds. 4…...3…....2….....”
”STOP THIS AT ONCE------!” Crowley said, shocked that young Ortho would go to such lengths “You actually intend to blow our school, with hundreds of years of tradition, into smithereens? Dark magic beams are forbidden!” He shook his head
”...Well no one was prepared to help, so this is all I could do.” Ortho said, downtrodden that his only solution had been denied.
Yoru dropped from the sky into the students' midst, to a chorus of “what the...?” from everyone who hadn’t met or seen her before. 
“Boooooo, you all suck” she said to the group at large, she looked at Ortho “I’ll help you get Idia back, don’t worry.” 
“Thank you Yoru-san! Together we will save Nii-san!” 
“You could still blow up the school though if you want, might be fun” Yoru laughed, grinning at Crowley
“Hey now…” Crowley started before Leona butted in 
“Who the hell is this, anyway?” he asked, jutting his thumb towards her.
“Ahhh Yoru-san, it seems you were watching the whole thing?” Azul asked, hand on his chin in contemplation “that unique magic of yours does seem to be very handy…”
“Yea. Ortho, maybe you should threaten to destroy his shitty Octopus lounge too and he’d help” Ortho giggled “Anyways, let's get out of here, these useless guys can’t do anything anyway”. She grabbed Ortho under the arms and flew away from the group as quickly as she came. 
“Excuse me, would someone please explain why there is a feral woman with wings on campus?” Vil said, clearly annoyed.
“Ahhh, my apologies” Crowley batted his hand at them “That is my daughter, she is… uhh...spirited, to say the least”
“You look pretty proud though” Leona chuckled, looking at the puffed up and smiling Crowley
“Well you know… fathers and their daughters… anyways, back to the task. We can’t leave it up to my sweet and cute daughter to save Shroud-kun, Operation “guilt trip them is underway!” He said, straightening his jacket
“Did he just say… operation guilt trip?” Ace muttered under his breath
“Ah, here's one now! A Nightraven College student!" Crowley said getting in Ace’s face with a make believe microphone
Ace jumped back from him, confused “Wha- what are you doing all of a sudden?”
Crowley, undeterred, continued to push his fake microphone into his face "I'm a reporter from TBC News! You are a student of Nightraven College, yes?!"
“Whaaat is happening?” Ace asked, looking around at his classmates
***
“K Ortho, how do you want to do this? I saw what happened, but I don’t think I’ll be able to fight a ghost” Yoru sat across from him in the tree she’d flown them to. 
“Well I can blow up the school but…” he paused
“It might be a bit of an overkill” They said together, laughing
“What sort of specs do you have in that body of yours? Anything that can destroy a ghost?”
“No, if I did I’d have saved Nii-san by now” Ortho said sadly
“Well, that’s alright” Yoru replied, patting him on the shoulder “I can see where they are, but we’ll need a distraction to get him out of there...and we’ll need something that we can actually hit them with”
“So we gotta go to Sams Mystery Shop!” Ortho said, excited to start the rescue plan
“Eventually... the idiot party has moved in front of his shop and I’d rather avoid them, I don’t really like being seen around campus” She grimaced
“But what about Nii-san! We need to save him right now!” Ortho stood, indignant that Yoru wasn’t wanting to jump to action immediately.
“Ortho, it’s okay. I’ve got eyes on Idia, and eyes on the shop, we can go once everyone has moved on, they’re planning on helping after all. Dad must have guilted them good” She laughed and stuck her tongue out at Ortho, he was reassured and sat back down in the tree. 
They stayed in the tree, making plans and discussing how to fight ghosts. Eventually Yoru saw through the crows that the last group of students had left the shop, and she signaled to Ortho that it was time to go.
“Ahhh more little devils have come to visit my shop! Anything you need is IN STOCK NOW!” Sam said jovially when they walked through the door
“Hey Sam, we need something to repel ghosts” Yoru said with no preamble or pleasantries 
“Another devil wanting to fight ghosts! Lucky for you, I always make sure to have some extra goodies for my favourite little demon!” He teased her, patting her on the head. She swatted his hand away
“Haha” She said flatly “I don’t want to marry the crappy ghost bride, I want to destroy her for kidnapping my friend” Ortho furiously nodded behind her. 
“Haha what funny little demons you are! Let me know how it goes, I do love hearing stories from the dead” He handed them a small torch and grinned at them. “This will attract the ghosts and they’ll be temporarily frozen in place. Remember to use it, your feet will be of no use to you in this fight” he smiled.  
“Okay Ortho. They’ve moved Idia to the cafeteria, if we go in through one of the windows do you think you can sneak up to him and grab him while I cause a diversion? ”
“Yup! Don’t doubt me when Nii-san is concerned! He’s in danger so I’ll do anything to save him!” 
“You’re a good kid, Ortho. Lets go get your brother back” She grinned and grabbed him in her feet, speeding off towards the great hall. 
The sounds of slaps rung through the hall, Yoru had to suppress her laughter from where she hid in the window with Ortho. This was too good to ruin, Idia could wait a few more moments. The look on Azul’s face was particularly satisfying after his initial refusal to help.  
“We should use the others as a diversion, when they come to attempt to propose to the princess we’ll grab Idia and get out of here” She whispered to him, keeping a close eye on the ghosts. “Shouldn’t be long now…”
“But Yoru, they’re all chanting Kiss! Kiss! Nii-san is going to be taken away to the land of the dead!” Ortho whispered, getting more upset by the minute.
“It’s not quite time yet, Ortho, please believe in me! I’m not going to let anything bad happen to Idia” Yoru reassured him, patting him on the shoulder again. 
There was a ruckus outside the cafeteria, the guards left to protect the princess from the new would be suitors. “It’s time, Ortho, let's go” Yoru said, dropping down to the center of the cafeteria in a flurry of feathers and fury. 
“Ehhh? Fugu-chan you came to fight a ghost?” Floyd laughed, surprised, grinning at the chaos. 
Eliza screeched for her guards, how DARE a commoner attack her! At her own wedding, no less! She stood back as her ghostly consort moved to protect her from Yoru’s furious attacks. 
“I’m not letting you marry Idia you shitty ghost!” she shouted, flying at Eliza
“Ah, it is almost midnight…. Finally, the time to seal our vows with a kiss!.. Get out of my way you terrible bird girl!” Eliza tried to get passed Yoru to where she could reach Idia.
“Heeeeeeeh is Fugu-chan jealous that Hataruika-senpai is going to marry the ghost?” Floyd pouted from where he stood, frozen
“Fufufu, I don’t think Yoru-san is the jealous one here…” Jade muttered with a smile on his face, looking at his brother
“Ah it seems there is at least some entertainment at this wedding” Lilia chuckled, clearly enjoying the drama as it unfolded. 
None of Yoru’s attacks were having any effect, but the ghosts were weary of the torch she still held in her hand, it could cause them problems if they were caught with it... if she actually remembered to use it. Yoru had so far managed to avoid being slapped, but she was losing. The torch provided her some extra leeway, but there were too many ghosts for her to handle without getting caught and slapped like the rest of them. The doors to the cafeteria slammed open, help had arrived.
“HOLD IT RIGHT THERE WITH THE WEDDING—-!!!!”
The ghosts that were occupied with Yoru turned their attention from her and towards Ace, framed in the doorway. She used the distraction to fly towards Idia, where Ortho was slowly dragging him towards the windows. 
“Yoru help! He can’t move and he’s hard to move like this!” Ortho struggled, trying to lift him
“Time for your dramatic manga rescue” Yoru teased Idia as she grabbed his arms in her feet, scooping Ortho under the arms, and flew them out the window. 
“Does she always enter and leave so dramatically?” Cater sighed, secretly wishing he could master the art of a flashy entrance to the same degree. 
“I’m impressed she didn’t get slapped” Lilia pouted, still playing up his injury like it actually hurt.
***
“Yoru! Do you think you can c-carry us both?” Idia stuttered, swaying in the air from where he was hanging from her feet. 
“I don’t need to carry Ortho, he can float down, I’ve just gotta carry you. I only needed to grab him long enough to get out of the school”. She let go of Ortho, who was happy to float along beside them
“EEEEaaaaaaahhhhhh this isn’t the rescue I’d dreamt oooooffffffffff!!” Idia screamed as they flew towards the mirror chamber, him swinging precariously in her talons. Ortho giggled, glad to have his brother back. 
“Okay, make sure to not get kidnapped by any more ghosts” Yoru laughed as they landed in the mirror chamber, in front of the passage back to Ignihyde. 
“I-I didn’t want to b-be kidnapped in the f-first place!” He stuttered, clearly still shaken at the day's events.
“Ahahahahahah, you almost married a ghost! Luckily we came to your rescue like valiant… uhhh… knights? That normally… save the kidnapped princess?” Yoru poked fun at him “I don’t know what happens in the manga you like to read” She laughed as he sputtered and tried to think of something to protest with
“Yea Nii-san! The princess has to kiss the hero that saves them at the end!” Ortho giggled, looking between them
They both paused, awkwardly staring at each other for a few moments
“...No. Absolutely not. Nu-uh. Nope.” They both said shaking their heads, in perfect unison.
