I'm the sickest person (Feyd Rautha x Female Reader)

Note: Hmm, I feel weird but my mind came up spontaneous short story once again. Gonna make it quite a little intimate, huh that's something new. But don't worry. I'm out of the character tonight. Lately listening to Lansdowne Falling down song and it's seems to suits to this guy or halfway. Wanna write angsty and soft Feyd. Sorry I didn't watched yet, actually I watched the beginning of Dune part two. Going to rewrite it later on. I think I'm mess up.

Summary: Y/n was an a Princess of House Vernius, the youngest in the family, as time come to nominate heir to the throne of her family, her cousin becoming princess and Y/n lost her rank and been exiled from her femily on forever. Later, Y/n was kidnapped by some of the people of House Harkonnen. She's faced Feyd Rautha Harkonnen. Y/n wasn't afraid of him and didn't cared of her fate much but Feyd decided to take you to his home planet. Perhaps he's was curious about you and later fall in love with you.

Warnings: Attempt of suicide, some little intimate moment but also fluff. I'm sorry guys.

-------

I could be an angel Live under the law Or party with the devil 'Til hell begins to thaw Come in like a lion And riot with my prey Or go out nice and quiet And try to run away

I can wear the brightest Smile ever seen Or I can terrify you Baring all my teeth I'm the sickest person That looks like I'm okay It changes with the weather Changes every day I don't know who I am

Falling down again Trying to get up From where I've always been But nothing's been enough To break through these clouds When I'm stuck on the ground Falling down again, down again Falling down again

I could be your best friend And keep your secret safe Or I can play pretend, and Be completely fake Do my best to be good And try to do what's right But the truth is that I'm ruthless And every word's a lie

Falling down again Trying to get up From where I've always been But nothing's been enough To break through these clouds When I'm stuck on the ground Falling down again, down again Falling down again

I could be an angel I could be an angel I could be an angel But I don't want to die

Falling down again Trying to get up From where I've always been But nothing's been enough To break through these clouds When I'm stuck on the ground Falling down again, down again Falling down again

Y/n failed at her duties, she felt sorrow because she's an a disappointment for her family. Your father approaching you in the conference room. "You're not a heir of the throne, it's will be your cousin. You're such a disappointment and a shame for your family." he said. "But I tried so hard to make you proud of me. I'm sorry." you spoke quietly. "You'll never comeback here. Leave now." he said coldly. "Please let me stay! Don't leave me alone!" Tears flowing down your face. Your father walked towards the window. "Save your tears. You should've thought about it before you're made such a mistake." "But I love you but seems you're don't love me." you whispered.

Hour later you're packed your bags and leave the Residence, you noticed your cousin smiling evily. "I'm the Princess now and you're no one." she laughed at you. "I'm sick of you all!" Y/n pushed her cousin's shoulder while walking towards her. "Bye, bye. Nobody's gonna miss you." she insulted. Y/n clenched her fists in anger and pain. "I hate them all."

As you make your way off the planet, the ship was attacked by someone, you could see armoured people and bald tall man with a pale skin. "What are you doing?" you shouted to one of the Harkonnen soldiers who grabbed your arm and pushing you on the ground. "I'm from the Royal Family, how dare you!" Y/n shout out to them. "As I knew you're not anymore." A man made a wicked smile. You glanced at him shocked. "So this was a part of the plan? To sold me as slave?" Y/n thought. "From now on you're mine." Feyd Rautha spoke. "I'm don't belong to anyone! I'd rather die!" Y/n grabbed the knife from one of the Harkonnen people rapidly and cutting her own arm, blood began to flowing down on the ground. You began to feel yourself dizzy, everything blurred and you lost consciousness. Feyd caughted you from falling. "Get her a doctor." Feyd ordered to his people.

Some hours later, Y/n woke up in the bed and the surrounding was unknown to her, she blinked several times and then glanced at the man sitting at the edge of the bed. "Uhm, where I am and who are you?" you asked in a kow voice. "You're at planet Giedi Prime right now. My name is Feyd Rautha Harkonnen." he replied. "Oh, now I remember what happened… Why you're saved me? I don't want to live." Y/n turned away from him and covered herself into blanket crying. "I wondering if I am the reason of your attempt of suicide?" Feyd squeezed your hand gently. "How would you feel if your family throw you away as a worthless thing?" Y/n slipped her hand from his grip. "You're must be brave or either crazy for doing so. You're beautiful as well." he made a smug smile. Y/n glanced at her bandaged arm. "I didn't feel pain honestly. I was so mad so I didn't noticed that." you confessed. "I'm bet you felt adrenaline. You need a good rest now. See you Miss Y/n." he smiled. "How do you---?" you rises your head in surprise. "I know few things about you." Feyd answered and then leaves the room.

Giedi Prime was dark and gloomy planet and people there was cruel and menacing. Y/n didn't liked that planet much. Week later you arm recovered and Feyd checked on you. "How are you doing?" he asked you. "My arm recovered completely." Y/n replied awkwardly. "Good." Feyd squeezed your arm and kisses it. Y/n blushes. "You're will be one of my concubines." Feyd Rautha added. Y/n rubbed her arm awkwardly. "Me? Why?" "Don't worry, nobody's going to hurt you." Feyd assured you. You lowered your head and sighed. "Go on, I'll show you the Residence." Feyd Rautha squeezed your hand once more.

The other day Y/n joined the other concubines of Feyd and you're feeling yourself out of place. Their smiles were menacing and when they're noticed you, they're starting giggling. Then Y/n saw Feyd among them. Y/n falled on her knees over Feyd. "Why I'm here?" you whispers to him. "Why not? You're my concubine." he leaned closer to you for kissing your neck but you're closed your eyes uncomfortably. Feyd stopped himself and the others starting giggling again. "She's so blushing." One of concubines insulted you. "Stop gossiping about new girl." Feyd replied playfully. "Can I go to my room? I feel unwell, Na-Baron." Y/n lowered her head again. "You may. I'll visit you later then." Feyd Rautha replied a bit confused. Harpies laughs again. "Perhaps she's too young. Where's did you found her? She's ugly." "Shut up!" Feyd rised his voice furiously. You could hear his voice as you leave the room. Everyone get quiet in the room. "What make him do that? Why he's standing for me?" Y/n thought.

Y/n hides in the room and went to the balcony. You feeling yourself emotionally drained. You sighed sadly. "Why my life is so hard..."

Feyd entered inside your room and joined you at the balcony. "Enjoying the view huh?" he smiled. "I needed more personal space." Y/n replied coldly. "I apologize for my girls. Probably they're being jealous of you." he made a smug smile. "I have no doubt about it. So why you're here when you have so many girls to talk to." you insulted him. "Hmm, so you're the one who's jealous now?" Feyd glanced at you. "We're just meet, don't flatter yourself much." you responded. "You should be careful with your words." he leaned closer to you. "I don't care much." you sighed again. "Then what's the matter?" he asked. "Because I don't feel anything to you! Why you're standing for me back than?" Y/n said emotionally. "I do it because you're fearless, honest and beautiful. I respect you. I want you feel yourself safe here." Feyd reaching for your hand. "I'm not like that. I'm a failure and I am broken." you whispered. "I hope you'll overcome your grieving." Feyd comforted you. "I hope so." Y/n squeezed into his chest softly. Feyd kissed your forehead and then leaves the room. "Perhaps I feel something now." you whispers to yourself.

Week later, Feyd inviting you into training room, you were wondering if it's some kind of trick of his. "That's awesome. One of my father's sword masters trained me." Y/n spoke. "Want a sparring, darling?" Feyd asked. "Hmm, why not. I'm in." you replied. "Choose a weapon." Feyd Rautha suggested. Y/n hand reached her hand towards a rapier with an a interest. And Feyd chooses Crysknife.

"Go on." You said with a cocky smile and stand in the position.

Rapier and Crysknife crossed each other and then Feyd ripped your sleeve, you stopped for a second watching your shoulder. "Hmm, you'll pay for this my dear Lord Na-Baron." Y/n make smug smile, Feyd was hypnotized by your smile and eyes for some seconds as you ripped his clothes over his chest. Your moves was gracious and smooth. "Look at your tunic, Feyd." Y/n laughted. "How dare you laughing at me!" Feyd pushed you against the wall and then kissed your in lips passionately as you dropped your rapier at the floor, you widened your eyes in surprise. After sometime Feyd stepped back from you. Y/n leaves the training room silently.

Day later. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and Feyd have a talk and suddenly he asked his nephew about his new concubine. "Hmm, I think something is happened between you two, I am right?" he smirked. "I think she'll avoid talking to me for a while, uncle." Feyd replied. "Oh, Feyd. You know you should've be more delicate with such lady as Y/n. What you're done may I ask." Baron asked of curiosity. "I think she's will be mad at for a forceful kiss." Feyd replied. "Did she tried to push you away while your kiss her?" Baron smirked again. "No, she didn't. But she's leave the room without a word." Feyd Rautha replied honestly. "Then she likes the kiss. Perhaps I don't know her much. You should make a better impression this time." Baron made an advice to his nephew.

"I will apologize to her soon." Feyd then walked into his room.

Meanwhile, you hummed a song and standing at the balcony, that kiss was on your mind and you're trembling a bit and blushing everytime you're remembering it. Feyd entered your room and called you. "Y/n? Are you in the room?" Feyd asked. "Good morning, Feyd. I'm at the balcony." you answered calmly. "Did you eating today's morning? I didn't seen you in the dining room." he asked you. "I told the servant bringing the food in my room because I didn't sleep well last night so I just didn't feel like to go there." you replied. "Why? I thought you're mad at me for that kiss." he walked towards you. "I had a bad dream of my father." you lowered your head. "So tell me how you feel about that?" Feyd spoke. "It was a forceful kiss so I don't want anyone would forcing me this way. I hope you're understand but I'm not mad at you." Y/n rubbed her shoulder. "I'm sorry for that. As a sign of reconciliation, would you accept my gifts?" Feyd squeezed your hand. "Don't worry about that. You know nobody didn't kissed me before, perhaps our sparring was fun." Y/n giggled and embrace Feyd's neck with her arms. "I'm sorry for losing control. I can't get out your smile and your eyes off my head." he confessed. "Perhaps I'm thought a lot of that kiss as well." You bited your lips. "Take a look at my gifts if you want to." he kissed your hand. You looked at the bed and there was a beautiful purple dress and a black pendant. Y/n also saw a rapier and the handle was inlaid with precious gem stones. "Your gifts are lovely. Thank you. Should I wear this dress tonight?" you said playfully. "You can wear it at the dinner and my uncle will be there too." Feyd suggested. "I guess it'll be boring political talking huh?" Y/n jokes. "I think this dinner will be not as boring if you're come with me." he kissed your cheek. "Okay, I'll come then." Y/n made a flirty smile.

Time skip Y/n calmly approaching Feyd and his uncle wearing beautiful dress and necklace, it was like a private dinner of uncle and nephew and you. "Good evening, Baron." Y/n kissed his hand, perhaps you wasn't sure how to greeting him, either bow and kissing the end of his clothes. "What a nice young lady!" Baron chuckles. "Goid evening, my dear Lord Na-Baron Feyd Rautha." you greeted Feyd as well. "The nicest of evenings, darling." he kisses your hand. "Now, have some good dinner and after that I should talk to you both." Baron spoke.

You sat at the table next to Feyd, slaves bringing food and cutlery and then leave. You and Feyd didn't talking though you both making eye contact and you making mysterious smiles to him and then eating and drinking.

When you're finishing your meal Baron stared at you. "Can I ask you some personal questions, my dear?" Baron asked you. "I'm ready for it." Y/n glanced at Feyd's uncle. "You're from House Vernius, right? Are you from planet IX or maybe another planet?" he smirked. "I'm Ixian. I'm not belong to House Vernius anymore." you answered. "Hmm, did you know that your father wanted to sold you in a slavery?" Baron said carelessly. You rises your head in shock, "I had my suspicions about this." Feyd glanced at you concerned. "Did you knew that? Why don't you telling me that before, Feyd?" Y/n asked him emotionally. "I am the only one who knows that, dear. Don't be mad." Baron smiles menacingly. "I have no doubts about that." Y/n said biterrly. "I swear I didn't know anything about that." Feyd spoke to you. "But you know something about me, right? You said it yourself." Your voice burns into passsive aggressive tone. "I only knew your name and where you from at the time." Feyd Rautha expressed. "Excuse me, Baron. I need to go now." Y/n said coldly. "You can go." he replied. Feyd stand up and leave the dining room after you. "Excuse my uncle. I didn't know thet he would--" Feyd paused. "Hurting me… He succeed in this but I'm not going to cry." Y/n turned away from Feyd. "I'm sorry about that, darling." Feyd embrace your back. "I don't trust your uncle but I trust you." Y/n replied. "Can I lead you to your room or maybe you would like to join me in my room tonight?" he smiled. "I'll join you soon." you kissed his lips and then walked away waving to him and giving him a quick glance back.

Y/n wearing a cloak and nightgown as she's sneaking into Feyd's room. He was sitting at the couch, you greeted him. Y/n take off her cloak and sitting down next to Feyd. "This dinner wasn't as I imagined. I hope your uncle had a reason to insulting me like that." you lowered your head. "I didn't expected that either." Feyd replied. "I don't care much anymore." you closed your eyes. "You're will fall asleep now, why you're chosen a couch when I have a bed for two?" he made a flirtly smile. Y/n rised her head blushing. "I'd rather choose a couch." "Too coward to share a bed with me huh?" Feyd made a smug smile. "I'm not a coward, I'm actually too tired for arguing or proof you wrong." you yawned. "Proof me wrong." he smiled again. "I don't want to see nightmares again or wake you up. I'd rather stay up all night." you confessed. "When you're rising your head, it's a sign of that something is shocking or surprising you. When you're lowering your head you're shy or uncomfortable, right? You can be safe with me." Feyd leaned closer towards you. "It's hard for me letting someone in because my life is tough." you glanced at him. "You're my only love. I promise you." he whispers to you. "Glad to hear that. I want to believe in that at least." Y/n closed her as she smiled. Y/n laid into the bed and covered herself into a blanket, Feyd take off his clothes and laid into the bed after you. "Good night, darling." he kissed your neck. "Good night, Feyd." Y/n yawned and instinctively cuddling into his shoulder and fall asleep.

You haven't nightmares this time, when you wake up in the morning you saw Feyd laying next to you. "Good morning, darling." Feyd kissed your cheek. "Good morning, Feyd." you giggled. "How do you sleep?" he asked. "Deeply and serenely." Y/n dress up and about to leave the room. "I'll join you at the breakfast soon." Feyd spoke. "Sounds great. I'll waiting for you to come." Y/n glanced back at Feyd a bit and closed the door.

After breakfast Baron approaching you. You take a deep breath and make a slight bowing. "Hello, my dear. I apologizing for my behavior but you're should've known that." he spoke. "But still why you're should make such a masquerade?" you crossed your arms. "I'm sorry, dear. But I wanted to try to grow the doubt in your heart. I checked whether I could manipulate you, or rather your confidence in my nephew, and I lost this game because you didn’t believed me. You know what's what." Baron smirked. "I think Feyd said the truth to me last night. Tell me more about my father's plan." Y/n lowered her head. "Your father once meet with me and decided to sold you as a slave to our family. When Feyd and our soldiers found you they're just patrolling. Feyd didn't know details." "Thank you for letting me know, Baron." you made a little bowing once more. "How do you find Giedi Prime?" Baron asked. "Kind of different from the planet I lived." Y/n rubbed her arm. "You know, girl. I'm on your side. Would you like to be one of House Harkonnen?" Baron made a cocky smile. "You meant marriage?" Y/n rised her head. "That's right, clever girl!" Baron chuckled. "I think it's not up to me and it's rather up to Feyd. I'll think about it anyway." you answered. "Of course. Now I should go." he finished the conversation.

Time skip "Is this Lady Fenring wants to seduce you or something, Feyd?" you spoke to him. "Don't worry, you're my only true love." Feyd assured you. "Thanks but I'm meant something completely different. She's one of Bene Gesserit. I wondering what's on her mind." Y/n embraced his neck and made a slight laughter. "I don't care actually." Feyd Rautha looking into your eyes. "I must admit that she's beautiful." Y/n sighed. "I don't need Lady Fenring when I have you. Your eyes and smile the most beautiful." Feyd kissed your hand. "Thank you." you squeezed into his chest for comfort. "Let me tell you something." He whispered with a smile. "What is it?" Y/n asked curiously. "I'm gonna fight at at the arena in few days. Would you come there?" he asked. "Oh, yes. I do remember, it's that your birthday. Your uncle invited me and he said I'll get the best view on arena." you said thoughtfully. Feyd made a smug smile and kisses your forehead. "That's all what you wanted to tell me?" Y/n guesses. "It'll wait for a while." he replied. Some days later Y/n joined Baron, everyone screaming Feyd's name and you watching him walking inside the arena. "I hope you're don't find it really cruel, Miss Y/n?" Baron smirked. "I'm come here to see Feyd in action, well I'm think I'm get used to that." You make a small smile. "Good to hear that." Baron nodded. Y/n watched Feyd carefully and then you get distracted by Baron a bit. "Did you thought about our last little talking, dear?" Baron made a cocky smile. "Not yet." Y/n confessed. "Hmm, I see." Baron said unemotionally. "Can we talk about that later?" you get uncomfortable. You watching Feyd a bit longer and then rushed away from the loud noises and once again you feeling yourself emotionally drained. As you catches your breath, you could feel someone standing behind you, it was Lady Fenring. "I see you're don't like noisy and cruel action, don't you? Deep breathing helps you to calm down." she said calmly. "I'm perfectly fine, Lady Fenring." you glanced at her. "I'm not recommend you to lie to me because I can read your reactions." Lady Fenring made a small smile. "Perhaps, I'm not okay." Y/n confesses. "You're Feyd's favorite concubine, right? I think you're a bit young for a concubine." she spoke. "I'm not that young. And you're Bene Gesserit…" you insulted back awkwardly. "How funny you're trying to insulting me but I'm just said what I'm thinking." she adores you. "That's all what you're wanted to say to me? Then I'm leaving." you looked away. "Perhaps Feyd's concubine didn't like me because Feyd Rautha showing more attention to me?" she guessed. "No, it's not like that! I just want to know your true intentions about Feyd." you rises your voice. "How sweet that you're protective of your Lord Na-Baron." Fenring teased. "You'll don't understand how I feel." you bited your lips nervously. "No, it's seems that you're the one who don't understand things. He's a psychopath and you saw his true nature today." Lady Fenring touched your shoulder. "He's different with me. Feyd can be a better person." you whispered.

Lady Fenring glanced at you thoughtfully. "You thinking that Feyd Rautha can be redeemed?" "I want to believe in that." Y/n lowered her head. "Now I have faith in you. I think I'll tell you why I'm here but not now. We're not enemies, dear." she made a soft smile. "I'm sorry for being harshly on you Lady Fenring." you nodded. "It's okay. Bye for now." she smiles.

Y/n leaves the arena among other people. You meet with Feyd some minutes later. "Congratulations on your victory, Feyd." Y/n playfully attacked him from the back. Feyd looked back at you as you embrace him. "Thank you, darling." he made a smug smile. "You had some great moves." Y/n giggles. "Some say that you're talked with Lady Fenring. Do you become friends huh?" Feyd asked. "In short she's helped me with my panic attack and she thought that I'm jealous of the fact that..." you paused. "And what you're replied to her?" Feyd made a cocky smile. "You know I'm not a jealous type." Y/n winked playfully. "Uhm, what a liar you are." Feyd touched your face gently. "How do you say." Y/n touches Feyd's hand.

At night you had a nightmare, you tossed and turning in your bed. In your dream you saw Baron and Rabban standing in front of you smiling wickedly. "Execute her!" Baron said menacingly. Soldiers pushed you at the ground. "Please don't!" Y/n pleads.

"No one will think that someone killed her, we can say that it was suicide because she already tried to commit suicide." One of the soldiers chuckled. "Right." Baron laughed ominously. Tears runned down your face. "I'll do whatever you tell me, just leave me alive, please." you began to tremble. "It's too late for that, you should have thought when you made that mistake." Baron said. "No! Feyd! Help me!" Y/n called Feyd Rautha for help. You finally saw Feyd, he took the rapier and stabbed it into your heart. "Goodbye, darling." Feyd made a evil and terrifying smile. Y/n screamed in pain and blood flashes on the ground. When you woke up, you gasped in shock and sat in your bed, your heart beating rapidly, you started crying.

Feyd rushed into your room concerned. "Do you have a panic attack or it's was a bad dream?" You still sobbed and cuddles into him. "Don't leave me alone please." "I'm right here, darling." He gave you a kiss on a forehead. "I had a terrible nightmare." you confessed. "It's just a bad dream." Feyd assured you. "Yeah, right. That's really stupid." Y/n hide her face with her hands. "Do you need a doctor or anything?" he asked. "I'm alright now. Thank you." Y/n laid her head into Feyd's shoulder. "I wanted to tell you something back than." He spoke. "Yeah." you nodded. "More correctly I want to ask you one thing." Feyd started. "I'm listening." you replied. "Would you marry me?" He looked into your eyes. "Yes, but when I'll be ready for it. I hope you're understand that. I didn't tell you it before but I love you." Y/n cuddled into his chest. "I love you too." He kissed you cheek.

Y/n then looked away. "To be honest, your uncle hints about marriage several times when he's talked to me."

"I see. Should I stay?" He touched your face.

"Can you stay for a bit? Let's get outside the balcony and talk." You squeezes his hands. He made a small smile and nodded to you.

Time skip Lady Fenring visits you secretly. "Let's talk about the things then." "Why Bene Gesserit sends you here?" "I was send here to secure the bloodline of prospective Kwisatz Haderach." she spoke. "You mean Feyd but how it possible that he is-?" you paused. "It's really a long story. Do you have a great patience for listening the whole explanations of the terms, dear?" Lady Fenring asked. "Tell me more please." Y/n pleads. "I see. So listen carefully." she smiled. You both talked for hours and then Lady Fenring was the one who's asking you several questions. "Something in you make me believe that Feyd Rautha can be redeemed. But what make you believe in it?" "It's not a big deal I guess. But when we're first met, I cutted veins on my arm and I could die but he's saved me though he could have his own plans about me." you lowered you head holding your arm remembering everything. "Hmm." Lady Fenring said thoughtfully. "What? What your Bene Gesserit training telling you about that?" Y/n curiously asked. "That you love him. I think you're able to redeem him. But we're will be watching you two." Lady Fenring made a soft smile. Y/n get a deep breath. "Sometimes I'm scared and I want to go back home but I can't go back." "I think there's nothing you should be scared of because you're brave and strong enough and after all, I'll be around to help you."

"Thank you." Y/n made a sincere smile.

Padishah Emperor arrives at Arrakis while Paul killed Baron and Rabban was killed as well. Y/n was worried about what going to happen next. "Feyd, I'm scared." you whispered. "Be strong darling." he squeezes your hand. Lady Fenring was around and watched you. Paul challenges Shaddam for the throne and, to Chani's dismay, demands Irulan's hand in marriage. Shaddam admits his involvement in the destruction of House Atreides. Feyd and Paul began the duel, Y/n watched them nervously. Lady Fenring comforts you by laying her hand on your shoulder. Paul wounded Feyd and he falls on the ground bleeding. "No!" Y/n screams. "I'm sorry, dear but nothing we can do, we can't get involved into duel." Lady Fenring hugged you. "No I can. Who's come up this stupid rules? I'm not going to lose a person that I love!" Y/n slipped from her embrace and rushed down next to Feyd before Paul's last fatal move. "No, wait! Paul Atreides!" you stopped Paul as he was confused. "Who are you and how you're dare to get involved to our duel?" he asked. "I'm from House Vernius, our fathers are allies. Please do me a favor." you looked at Paul and then at Feyd. "But why you're with Harkonnens?" Paul asked. "My father sold me as a slave to Harkonnens." you confessed. "But you're must be Feyd's concubine, right?" Paul corrected. "That's right. Just tell me what I can do to save Feyd's life and my own too?" "Surrender to me, kneeling before me and kiss my ring." Paul ordered. "I'll do it. But save Feyd." Y/n kneel before Paul. "I believe you." Atreides showing mercy to you. "Thank you." Y/n bowing. Some of Sardaukar troops carries Feyd Rautha and bandaged his wounds. Lady Fenring standing next to you. "You must be fearless but you should be careful next time." "Yes I know I made a risky move but all I wanted to save him. I think I'm going to faint if I'm not get a nap." you confessed. "Great job anyway." she made a soft smile.

Lady Fenring lead you and help you find a place where you can rest.

"Why you let that Harkonnen live?" Chani asked Paul. "Because she's loves him, don't you see it? But I'm gonna to watch over him, if he'll going to betray me, they're both will be dead." Paul replied. "That's wise and merciful from you side." she replied. Hour later Y/n visited Feyd Rautha, he was still unconscious, you glanced at his face and sighed. Chani come to you. You were a bit surprised by that. "Paul going to talk to you and him later." she said coldly. "I should've guess that." Y/n lowered her head. "How can you love Harkonnen? He's a monster." Chani asked in a rude manner. "Perhaps love can change a person." Y/n replied peacefully. "That's wise words. I respect your bravery." Chani softened. "How your name?" Y/n asked but she don't know the Fremen traditions so it could be awkward. "My name is Chani." she spoke. "My name is Y/n." you replied. "I should go now." Chani walked away. Y/n squeezed Feyd's hand and laid her head into his shoulder.

Hour later. You could feel Feyd's heartbeat and his voice again. "Y/n…" Feyd spoke in low voice. "Oh, Feyd! I glad you're alive!" Y/n giving him a kiss on the forehead. "Glad to see you again too." Feyd made a small smile. "Don't flatter yourself too much, cousin. You're alive only because I'm wished so." Paul approached both of you. "I didn't expect that my cousin would deign to visit me." Feyd replied bitterly. "Feyd, no need to." Y/n glanced at Paul. "Can you leave us for a while?" Paul asked. "Sure." you nodded. "What do you want?" Feyd asked. "Do you know that she saved your life? You're must be going to become next Baron but I'll warning you that you both will be dead if you're going to betray me." Paul said coldly. "I see, cousin." Feyd replied. "Tell me a bit about your concubine." Paul demanded. "She lost her rank and family. She's kind, brave and beautiful. Once she cutted her arm and I ordered my people to save her life." Feyd responses. "Y/n is no doubt is fearless. I see your feeling is true." Paul nodded. "Are you surprised by this, cousin?" Feyd mocked. "Kind of." Paul then leaves the room. Paul talked to you as well. Some days later Feyd recovered and you both returned to Giedi Prime and get married there snd then you both visiting planet IX at honeymoon. Y/n don't care about if reunion with her family going to be bitter but she was wrong. When Feyd arrived with you at the planet, your father and cousin noticed you. "Is that you?" Your father asked. "I know what you're going to say but I wanted to go back." you replied. To you surprise your father hugged you. "I'm so sorry. I hope you're forgive me for what I'm done and said to you." "It's okay. I believe in second chances." you hugged you father back. "I'm sorry too." your cousin spoke. "By the way meet my husband Baron Feyd Rautha Harkonnen." You said proudly. "I'm glad I met your daughter." Feyd spoke. "Baron?" Your father asked confused.

Feyd glanced at you as you laughted. "Don't you know anything? I'll tell you everything."

People who only speak to you when you say/do something they disagree with is a red flag that they never cared about you as a person to begin with. They just want to be around carbon copies of their own minds and that's boring as hell and if you so much as have an individual thought that goes against theirs, you're exiled from their echo chamber.

Surround yourself with people who recognize the nuance in others and embrace flaws and differences in opinon while calling out the genuinely harmful ones.

It's outright abnormal and unhealthy to feel constantly on edge around "friends" because you might set them off with one little disagreement. Get rid of the toxic mindset that you have to agree with every little thing someone says or else friendship over. Sounds less like friendship and more like a cult to me.

Just. Imagine a world where every individual on this mud ball had the same exact brain with the same exact thoughts and feelings. How depressingly boring would that be???? Diversity of thought????? Ever heard of it???????

It's okay to have different opinions and it is totally possible to correct or disagree without being a patronizing ass. Please, guys. Let's promote open and educational discussions without the urge to stroke your ego with a "witty" comeback. Imagine all of the rewarding conversations you could be chasing away and the potential friendships that could manifest from them. It's just a lose-lose for everyone.

The Mosley Review: Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi

There was an idea, a concept and a possibility for something magical to happen. The hope that one day that arguably the most beloved Star Wars character would once more grace our screens during a period of his life that hasn't been explored yet. First it was conceived as a theatrical release and then it was reconstructed into a mini series. Either way, the dream of seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi's story being revisited in the time of his personal exile and mission to protect a 10 year old Luke Skywalker was on its way. We all had our theories of how it would play out or a vision of what his life would look like. We all wanted to see the psychological strain, emotional turmoil and guilt he felt after the events of Revenge of the Sith. This was the most anticipated show to ever to be announced and shaping up to possibly be the greatest dramatic Star Wars story ever to be told. For the most part we got the vary beats I described, but it came at a serious price that ultimate ripped away the emotional depth that was ripe for the plucking. Instead we received an unfocused, plot hole centric and weak story that keeps the titular character almost completely secondary to the main focus of his own series. Don't get me wrong, this series had some amazing moments of character depth, fan pleasing sequences of action and story beats, but it clearly lies to you in making you think that we were gonna get a singular story. This show was 2 different series slammed together and you feel them ripping and tearing at each other as both the titular character and the new one battle for story dominance. What a disappointing mess this was.

Ewan McGregor returns as the fan favorite Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi and he brought his A game. Ben at this point of his life is filled with pain, guilt and torment from the events of Revenge of the Sith and I loved it. Ewan nails all of those aspects of the character and brings to life that emotional turmoil and broken spirit of Ben. The Jedi Master we knew is gone and that was painful to see and throughout the series you see him struggle with that trauma, but his motivation to comeback is thrust forward and it was an epic return to form. Vivien Lyra Blair was wonderful as young Princess Leia Organa. She truly captured the adventurous, feisty, pure of heart and strong willed nature of the character and she was truly a surprise. Her chemistry with Ewan was a true highlight of the series and you feel the warmth she brings out of him. Jimmy Smits returns as her adoptive father Bail Organa and this was his best performance yet. He was so warm, caring and just down right perfection. One of my favorite scenes of the series is his interaction with Leia as seen in the image above. Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse both return as Uncle Owen Lars and Aunt Beru Lars and they both get great moments to shine and deliver a new layer to each character. Kumail Nanjiani was great as Haja Estree and delivers the right amount of comedy mixed with his dramatic skills to keep the character interesting. O’Shea Jackson Jr. was great as the refugee leader Roken and I loved his determination help others. He has a character decision that was so quick and I wished it was drawn out more to add tension. Indira Varma was excellent and heartwarming as Tala. She has some fun being a spy for the people trying to escape the Empire and I loved her emotional connection to her loader droid NED-B. She adds to the emotional core of the show in such a quick expertly acted moment in the show.

Hayden Christensen returns as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader and what a performance. He finally gets to take the character he crafted in the Prequel Trilogy and delivers a stirring and heartbreaking performance as the friend that Ben lost and the monster he became. When he is full on Vader, it was terrifying and brutal. You get to see the emotional side of Vader this time around once news of Ben being alive reaches him and that trauma, rage and pain resonates through the suit. James Earl Jones returns as the voice of the Darth Vader and he delivers yet another master class vocal performance. With the aid of Hayden's physical performance, the 2 of them complete this fresh take on the iconic villain and they deliver a version of the Sith Lord we've always wanted to see. Rupert Friend delivers an excellent performance as the live action version of The Grand Inquisitor. He was calm, sinister and creepy at times and I loved every bit of his commanding presence. Sung Kang also delivers a good performance as the live action version of Fifth Brother. He was stubborn and yet somewhat childish as he constantly bickered with another Inquisitor for Vader's prestige. Moses Ingram delivered a great performances as the Inquisitor Reva. She consistently highlights her rage, impatience and determination as she hunts for Kenobi. The actress was not the problem for me, but the way the character was written was the problem. She has a goal and she does eventually reach it, but she ends up taking away from the titular Kenobi's story by having her be the main antagonist when you already have Vader. You get to her motivation behind her story, but by the end she becomes a character whose arc ends an episode early and then she ends having yet another predictable outcome and becomes nothing but dead weight. Her whole story was strong enough to be its own mini series or actual film, but it is completely tact on this show.

The greatest maestro of all cinema, John Williams, once again graces us with another masterful composition and gives Obi-Wan Kenobi a theme. It is filled with sorrow, pain, heroism and it completely captures the soul of the character. Natalie Holt did an amazing job composing the score for the series and it was great in the first 2 episodes as she wonderfully weaves in Kenobi's theme with her own work. The rest of the score was sadly to say, forgettable, but the real magic of her work comes in the last 2 episodes of the series as she nails the raw emotional beats of the story and finally delivers the familiar Star Wars themes we know and love. Visually the show is stunning as it ranges from the rough and dry plains of Tatooine to the lush planet life of Alderaan. The one thing that bothers me the most is that the choice to use shakey cam during a lightsaber fight. Lightsaber duels tell stories themselves and don’t need the help from unstable camera work. It is most effective when it dances along with duelists in the scene. It would've been more poetic if it was only done once in the first duel and not the second. There are some serious plot holes that are either forgotten about, left up to interpretation or never explained for the ones that are uninitiated with the lore. As a whole, this was a messy, unfocused and strained series that really deserved better care and it is unfortunate that such love was put into the performances and they were soured by a broken story. Director Deborah Chow did an excellent job with what she had and I hope to see more from her in something that is not held under so much scrutiny. This show should've stayed as a film because then it would've been focused on the idea that was promised years ago. Let me know what you thought of the series or my review in comments below. Thanks for reading!

The Cruelty of the Beast - Part 5

Characters: c!Dream, c!Ranboo Word count: 1872 words Content: mild manipulation, dark!fic, vomiting, pending apocalypse, manipulation, puppet!ranboo, puppetmaster!dream, mild bonding, mild mind control, mention of abuse

------

“Ranboo, come with me.”

Dream’s voice is curt, almost with an annoyed undertone to it. Ranboo doesn’t hesitate, not wanting to cause trouble. With a glance over in Tommy’s direction, Ranboo gets to his feet and follows Dream out the front door. He glances back toward their cabin, trying to familiarize himself with the surroundings.

They’re in what looks like a taiga, and the cabin they’re in blends in with the trees and even the cobblestone surrounding the area. It’s not a bad cabin inside, nor outside. There’s a sense of comfort here, but Ranboo is on edge all the same.

“What are we doing?”

“I want to get to know you.” Dream leads him further away from the cabin. “We’re going to give Tommy some time to get to know Wilbur all over again, but you and I need to speak.”

“I don’t know what you want with me,” Ranboo admits. He falls in step next to Dream, trying to watch him without tripping over anything. Dream had cleaned up since exiting the prison, no longer looking so disheveled and broken. His hair is pulled back in a small ponytail, and his mask is sitting on the side of his head, instead of on his face. His clothes are the same as they’d been, except washed and sewed back together. Dream looks intimidating all over again.

“I don’t want anything from you,” Dream counters. He shoots Ranboo a grin. “I’m not as awful as Tommy’d been saying about me, you know.”

“You hurt him,” Ranboo points out bluntly. “You abused him. Don’t bother lying about it either, because we can all see how petrified he is of you.”

“Yeah, and Wilbur about ripped my head off for it.” Dream’s voice is far too casual for this conversation. There’s something not right about him. That much is obvious, but now that he’s free and cleaned up, he seems to exude a raw sort of power that scares Ranboo.

It’s also intriguing.

“Ranboo, I’m not trying to be a villain,” Dream continues. “I once had everything, and I lost it all. I made some wrong choices and went down a stupid path that led to my imprisonment, but we’ve all done some stupid things.”

Dream stops walking then, waving his arm out. “We’re here.”

“Where is here?” Ranboo looks around the area they’re in. They’re still in a taiga, but there’s what looks like a campsite. There’s a fireplace, a couple of tents, and...

...and there’s a hole in the ground.

Ranboo glances at Dream nervously, before hedging toward the opening. “Dream, what’s this?”

“You tell me,” Dream says. He gives a grin that’s too wide for his face. “You’re the one who dug it.”

“I don’t remember.” Ranboo stops moving, now staring fully at Dream. “I haven’t done anything, especially not for you.”

“I’m not controlling you, if that’s what you’re getting at. I don’t have that kind of power. Wilbur, maybe, but he’s not interested in you, he’s interested in Tommy.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Ranboo moves away from the hole. Whatever’s at the bottom, he doesn’t want to know. He wants to go back to Snowchester and be safe with Tubbo and Michael. Hell, he’ll drag Tommy back with him if it means Tommy’s safe too.

“Of course you do. We’ve been communicating for months, Ran. We’ve been working together for a lot longer than you realize.” Dream laughs. Ranboo expects it to sound sinister, but Dream’s laugh sounds normal, like he’s laughing at a random joke instead of Ranboo’s missing memories. “Look inside it, Ranboo. You’ll believe me then.”

“I don’t trust you.”

“You trust Tommy, don’t you?” Dream waves his arm toward the hole. “I’m serious, look inside. It’s nothing bad, I’m not going to do anything to you. We’re past this point.”

“I do trust Tommy. It’s only because of him that I’m still here.” He still doesn’t move.

“I know.” Dream sighs and moves toward one of the tents. Ranboo watches him carefully, trying to figure out what he’s doing now.

“I was manipulated into coming here,” Ranboo offers. “I didn’t come here of my own free will. You have me under some kind of spell.”

“Like I said, I don’t have that kind of power. I didn’t swing a watch and hypnotize you, I didn’t plant subliminal messages into your head.”

“Yeah, but you can trigger it somehow. You can use some sort of... of code or keyword to use me. I don’t remember coming here, but I woke up with a sword aimed at Tommy. What did you do to me?”

“Nothing you didn’t agree to beforehand.” Dream finally exits the tent, holding out a book. Ranboo refuses to touch it, though his gaze is locked on the leather. “Take it and read it,” Dream insists. “I’m serious, you’ll understand.”

Hesitantly, Ranboo reaches for the book, grabbing at it as if it’s tainted. With another suspicious glance toward Dream, he opens the book and reads the signature.

It’s his handwriting.

But it’s not in a language he understands.

Frowning, Ranboo turns the page. There’s more writing, but again, in a language he doesn’t understand. It’s all unmistakably his handwriting though.

“This is useless,” Ranboo says. “I don’t understand any of it.”

“Read the last page,” Dream says. “I’d recite it out loud but you wouldn’t believe me.”

Licking his lips, he does as asked. Flipping to the final page of the book, Ranboo’s breath hitches when he sees what’s written there.

“Once the four of us are united, everything will start falling into place. I just need to keep trusting Dream, he knows what he’s doing more than any of us know. I just hope Tommy isn’t too hurt in the crossfire, he’s still fragile. Maybe seeing Wilbur again will help. I’ll remain by his side as long as he needs us. It’ll all be okay, I hope it’ll be okay. It’s us against the world.”

He doesn’t remember sitting down. Ranboo drops the book to the ground as he lands hard, scrambling back away from it. No wonder he’d been afraid to touch it, it really is tainted.

“I didn’t write that, I didn’t have anything to do with this, I’m-”

Dream crouches down in front of him. He takes the mask off, tossing it to the side, and reaches out for Ranboo, grabbing at his wrists. “You’re shaking,” Dream says quietly.

Why does he sound so comforting?

“Ranboo, look at me, please.”

“You’re crazy,” Ranboo mutters with a laugh. “You’re all off your rocker. I’m not a part of this.”

“Ranboo, it was never my intention to hurt you, or use you. Like I said, I made mistakes that I shouldn’t have made.”

“You...but Tommy...”

“I tried to mold Tommy. I made the mistake of thinking I could replace Wilbur, but Tommy will only ever listen to him, never anyone else. His exile was just one mistake after another, and believe me, Wilbur was pissed at me for that. Almost backed out of our deal for that alone.”

“How...” Ranboo’s voice cracks. “How long have I been working for you?”

“I don’t think you should ask questions you’re not ready to hear answers for.” There’s a warning note there, and Ranboo heeds it. Dream’s right in this instance, Ranboo really doesn’t want to know. He feels disgusted, almost sick.

No, he really is sick. He’s leaning over and dry heaving against the ground, leaves and dirt and bits of stone getting all over his clothes and face. He wishes he could actually vomit something up, but nothing’s coming out easily. Even worse is the fact that Dream is rubbing his back and whispering soothing words to him.

He remembers the question he’d asked Tommy the other night. ‘Have we just lost our free will?’ At the time he hadn’t put much weight into it. But looking back, Ranboo realizes he hadn’t had his free will in a very long time.

“Hey hey hey.” Dream finally pulls him upright. Unable to move, Ranboo leans heavily against Dream, fighting back the urge to cry. Crying hurts, and he doesn’t want to hurt. “Ranboo, listen to me. It’s okay. I’ll make it okay for you. I won’t hurt you, I won’t use you. Just... look in the hole please?”

He nods this time. Weakly, he pushes away from Dream, shifting closer to the giant hole in the ground. The surface seems to be made out of blackstone, so when Ranboo reaches the edge, he peers down.

There’s an end portal down below.

He can see the shimmering galaxy that makes up the portal, the endless nothing. It doesn’t make any sense, why would there be an end portal? Why would it be activated? Why...

When he speaks, his voice is still broken. “Are we going there?”

“Yes, eventually.” Dream pulls him upright. “You know what lies in the end, right?”

“I heard....I heard rumors.” Ranboo’s drooling all over himself. He wipes his mouth as he leans against Dream again. “It’s not good. We shouldn’t-”

“I want to release the dragon,” Dream continues, as if Ranboo hadn’t even spoken at all. “Wilbur and I both want to bring it here. It would do a lot more than withers and TNT. You agreed to it once, telling me you wanted things to go back to simpler times. A dragon could do that.”

There’s no comeback this time. The enderman hybrid has no words to say. He’s horrified, he’s sick to his stomach, and knows this is the worst plan. But...

Dream is pushing him away gently and picking the book back up. He dusts it off and hands it back to Ranboo. “You’re scared,” Dream says bluntly. “I know you’re putting up a resistance, but in your other state, you wanted this. You agreed to it, you willingly helped put all the plans in motion. So reach into that part of you and remember something, for once. If not for me or yourself, then do it for Tommy.”

“Tommy’s going to be heartbroken,” Ranboo whispers.

“Tommy will be fine.” Dream is grinning brightly. He moves closer, hair almost reminiscent of gold in the sunlight. “We’re all going to be fine. He has Wilbur, it’s all he’s ever wanted. What’s holding you back?”

Ranboo thinks of Tubbo and Michael. He doesn’t want to give Dream any leverage, so he slumps his shoulders forward, letting himself give in. Memories aren’t coming back, but whatever makes Dream happy, right?

“Nothing,” Ranboo whispers. “Nothing’s holding me back.”

“So you’ll let yourself remember?”

“Yeah.”

“Great. Let’s go back home, alright?” Dream begins walking again. Ranboo watches him for a moment, glancing back down at the portal. With a shiver, he jogs to catch back up with Dream, trying to push the conversation out of his mind.

This time, his mind isn’t letting him forget anything. No memory book is needed, because the image of a lit end portal is forever burned into his mind, and Ranboo knows that if a dragon were to be released, it’d be entirely his fault.

Did we just lose our free will?

Can’t lose what you never had to begin with, can you?

Just like in Dorothea, we have the double meaning of soul here - also meaning “sol” aka sun aka Karlie. Taylor is devastated beyond heartbreak - her actual soul is broken. However, she is also saying that Karlie (the sun/sol) is broken into two - one person who Taylor knows, and one who she doesn’t.

Looking for you but you're right here

The soul/sol double meaning is reinforced here where “you” is split into two different characters, the one that Taylor knows and the one she doesn’t recognize.

If I can't relate to you anymore Then who am I related to?

This line conjures images of divorce - “who am I related to” i.e. who did I marry?  Also, if you can’t relate to your spouse anymore then you would wonder who your family is - and who is similar to you.

And if this is the long haul How'd we get here so soon?

Again, this is an image of divorce - imagining that you would be with someone for the rest of your life and then that forever quickly ending.

Did I close my fist around something delicate? Did I shatter you? This is clearly a reference to Delicate from Rep. Taylor knew the relationship would be hard, and is now worried that she caused the relationship to end by making it try to work at all.

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island wondering where did my baby go? The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go round

Coney Island seems to be a companion song to Mirrorball, but in this rendition its about two people who both have that obsessively people-pleasing, mirrorball inclination. They both have grown up in the circus & rodeo of stardom and entertainment from a young age (like karlie and Taylor). This is about the person who jumped in the fishbowl with Taylor. However, based on the Mirrorball imagery in the Willow mv Taylor is now alone in the fishbowl (which has now become a glass closet).

Also, the Mirrorball scene from Willow mv looks similar to vintage images of Coney Island.

Sorry for not making you my centerfold

Over and over Lost again with no surprises Disappointments, close your eyes And it gets colder and colder When the sun goes down

Here we have disappearing sun imagery, which furthers this idea of a Kaylor divorce and Karlie leaving (I know! im sorry!! im just calling it like I see it!!!!!). The phrase “colder and colder” contrasts the “warm bed” referenced in there rest of the album, like in tis the damn season. The question pounds my head "What's a lifetime of achievement?"

Taylor is high-achieving and has won tons of awards. She also puts a lot of weight on winning awards and approval of other people, as was touched on in Miss Americana. (”I just need to make a better record.”)

If I pushed you to the edge

Taylor is wondering if it’s worth all of the work and the awards and the honors, if she doesn’t have the person she loves beside her. This is also discussed in Miss Americana - “Shouldn’t I have someone to call right now?”

But you were too polite to leave me And do you miss the rogue Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Taylor talks about paradise a lot - “darkest little paradise”, “snuck in through the garden gate” (garden being a reference to garden of eden), etc. ALSO interesting to use “Paradise” when there are a lot of theories that the album that was supposed to be after 1989 was called “Paradise” before she pivoted and made Rep.

Will you forgive my soul When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care? 'Cause we were like the mall before the Internet

August reference here with “meet me behind the mall”. Also a funny nod to the “comeback stronger than a 90s trend” in Willow - and the mall boom in the 80s-90s.

It was the one place to be The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

Again - ring imagery indicating failed marriage. The “suburban dreams” also seems to reference marriage - gift wrapped in a neat love story. But Taylor was unable to give Karlie that neat storyline because she is in the fishbowl. {Chorus} Were you waiting at our old spot In the tree line by the gold clock Did I leave you hanging every single day?

Again - we have august/illicit affairs references with the clandestine meeting. Also, Taylor uses gold to represent true love. A “gold clock” is saying that that true love was counting down to something, and the clock was ticking on the time she and karlie had for their true love.

Were you standing in the hallway

In Exile Bon Iver says ”Holdin' all this love out here in the hall” as a metaphor for not being able to be with the person you love.

With a big cake, happy birthday

In “The Moment I Knew” Taylor talks about how her lover misses her birthday party and that’s how she knows they’re not The One. In the music video for “Lover” we see that the Lover who Taylor is singing about throws Taylor a birthday party. This references both of these songs, and shows that one person is trying their best to celebrate their lover.

Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?

Taylor talks about the color of the sky a lot and things being blue or grey. In London Boy there’s a “grey sky”, in invisible string her lover puts “blue in my purple pink skies”, in paper rings her lover makes her “blue like the color we painted your brothers wall” - so here it’s a metaphor for taking something that should be happy and making it sad. 

A universe away And when I got into the accident

This also references Taylor’s previous work in “Out of the Woods”, when she says “20 stitches in a hospital room” supposedly referencing a snowmobile accident that she and harry styles got in.

The sight that flashed before me was your face But when I walked up to the podium I think that I forgot to say your name Taylor is saying that even though Karlie is all she thinks about, and thinks about at the most important times in her life, she can’t publicly declare her love for Karlie.

{Pre-Chorus} {Chorus} {Outro}

Pretty much like the Kazoo kid

This request was taken from an anon in @equizona‘s blog (Got her permission, don’t worry mah dudes), follow her, her work is amazing!

"You 1-A scums feel like you're so special when you're just a bunch of troublemakers!" There he was again.

"You may have a flashy quirk but you barely ever get to do anything productive with it!" At least he wasn't saying anything to you, because why would anyone say anything to you.

"Hey! Did you hear me?" After all who would notice you anyways. "You with the headphones, are you even listening?"

Wait.

What?

"Man, you were talking to me bro?" You said, surprised by having someone besides Aoyama say anything at all to you. I mean yeah, you were the only one on the patio but that's how weird it was that anyone spoke to you.

"Oh I get it, you think just because you are in 1-A no one from the inferior groups is worth to talk to you" The blond guy kept on with the one-sided argument; it was almost sad, seeing him making all those exaggerated movements while showing that cynic smile of his... Honestly, it was such a mood.

"Nah man, I just think I'm not worth talking to" You retorted with a pose, grinning as if you had just told a great joke and that caught him off guard. "What?-" A heavy hand on the back of his neck cut him off before he could come with a- well he wasn't even sure if he was going for a clever comeback or with an 'are you okay?' but that's not the point here.

Now there was an unconscious body, being held by Kendo and you were still in an awkward pose, amused by what had just happened. "I'm sorry you had to deal with this guy, please don't mind whatever he said"

"Oh! No, it wasn't a bother at all" you said.

"Really?, this guy is such a pain sometimes, I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to punch him." Kendo said jokingly.

"Nah, I'm worse to deal with" you said with that ridiculous pose and grin letting out a giggle.

Holy shit.

That was the cutest thing Monoma had ever heard in his entire goddamn life, but to hide the pretty obvious blush on his face he opted for acting unconscious.

"Well I gotta get going so, I guess I'll see you around?" Kendo said in an awkward tone.

You noticed how she was uncomfortable and quickly retrieved your pose "Y-yeah" you said shyly.

Just as Kendo had left, a friendlier face appeared "Sorry for the lateness" said Aoyama, his dazzlingness sharp as always.

"Don't worry dude, what did Aizawa want anyways?"

"Nothing, he just said my grades are getting worse."

"Welp that sure sounds like nothing." You said in a sarcastic but playful tone.

"What about you, anything happened while you were waiting for me? I saw Kendo dragging Monoma."

"Yeah, he just came at me saying the usual stuff, but at first I didn't know he was talking to me and-" Aoyama interrupted you.

"Hon, who else was he supposed to be talking to? The trees?" He said gesturing at the emptiness surrounding you, astonished by your stupidity.

"Good point" you said in an acknowledging manner.

"Anyways, the thing is he said something and I answered in the way I always do and so I managed to make two persons uncomfortable" You said in a somewhat sad tone.

"Don't give it too much thought" he said, his sparkling aura soothing you somehow.

"Yeah, maybe I shouldn't worry" You reached into your bag and got out a ball of cheese "I gotcha the goods"

Aoyama raised an eyebrow "It's Queso Oaxaca" you said with a smirk.

Later that night Monoma couldn't help but to think of you. Something about you seemed sad but you didn't seem to bother, he tried to sort out if you were just kidding or if you were a nihilist.

"What the hell was that?"

The following days he couldn't help but to observe you, he started noticing little things, for example; you were a god-tier memer and your personality was similar to Kaminari's but the reason why you didn't hang with him is that you were too shy to do so.

Aoyama was your best and only friend.

You had a strong quirk but passed unnoticed by your previously mentioned shyness.

You were indeed a nihilist. But not the usual kind, instead of getting depressed by all of your pessimism you would embrace it with humour.

Ironically you wanted to become a hero to make the world a little bit better, or perhaps so that you could talk about how everything sucks without having anyone telling you how you weren’t doing anything about it.

Monoma didn’t seem to realize how much he liked you until Kendo addressed the issue.

"Stop staring at her before she sues you"

"I'm not staring at anyone!" Monoma lied, his face growing redder with both anger and embarrassment.

"It's kinda funny tho" Kendo started speaking as she cut the meat on her lunch tray "You hate class 1-A yet you are head over heels for one of them" she said taking a bite of her food.

"Well I don't like her and I'm gonna prove it to you" Monoma said as he stood up and walked towards the table where Aoyama and you were sitting.

He leaned and was preparing an insult but how could he say anything like that to you, that's illegal.

"Anything I can help you with?" You said raising an eyebrow. That was his cue.

"Oh, nothing I was just wondering, how does it feel to belong to the oh so great class 1-A and yet be unnoticed by everyone inside and out of your class?"

Now he had done it.

He was scolding himself internally for saying that and was prepared to accept anything you would do next.

"Well I've been watching you and you have been staring at me, so I'm not really being unnoticed bro"

"And why were you looking at me?" Monoma asked genuinely confused.

"Well I just think you look pretty"

Monoma froze at your commentary along with Aoyama and Kendo who were watching the whole thing unfold.

That was pretty bold of you and Monoma's now usual blush came back to his cheeks, his chest tightening; 'well you're very pretty too' that's what he wanted to say, but the words didn't come out of his mouth.

"Pretty much like the Kazoo kid" you said abruptly.

"NICE ONE (Y/N)-CHAN"

You heard Mina shout from the table in front of you, you turned to see Aoyama's look of disappointment and Monoma was nowhere to be seen.

"You chickened out" said Aoyama.

You were back at the dorms and were currently lying face down on the floor of Yuga's room

"Dude I know, I just- I don't think I have the guts to do so"

"But you did!"

"Yeah but I remembered he definitely doesn't like me and saved my ass from suffering an embarrassing rejection!"

You felt Yuga grab your right foot and drag you outside his room. "What the hell Yuga?!"

"(Y/N) I'm doing this for your own good" The blonde boy said in a serious tone. "You are hereby exiled from the dormitories and are not to return until you have properly confessed to that Kazoo kid."

And then he slammed the door in your face.

You then proceeded to walk towards the 1-B dormitories.

You knew Yuga was right. You had been watching Neito for a long time now, and boy did you have the most gigantic crush on him.

There was something about him you couldn't help but to be attracted to.

Yes, he was annoying and he hated your class with a burning passion but when he wasn't attacking your class he was working hard to become a hero and helping his class.

He sure had leader material and you admired his determination.

You liked how kind he was.

How supportive he was towards his classmates.

How he was always giving his best and helping others to do so.

But then again, he hated your class and you by default, but that didn't make him any less charming to you, if anything more unattainable.

You had to apologize and tell him the truth, you had already accepted he would never like you back so you weren't going to 'give it a try' more like get it off your chest.

You were a pessimist because you were either right all the time or gladly surprised by being wronged. So it was more like a cushion.

You were almost arriving at the dormitories when you saw Monoma sitting under a tree reading a book. He was relaxed, something weird to see with how he acted around your class all the time. 'Freaking Avril Lavigne is right' you thought.

The sunset graced his features making his golden hair shine.

"What a cliché scenario" You said making Neito look away from his book.

"Oh it's you again, what do you want now?" His tone wasn't like all those times he would mock you and your class, it sounded dry and it hurt you.

"Sorry I uh" you were stammering, you weren't the best at apologizing, and apologizing to your crush was even harder.

"I wanted to apologize, for what I said earlier" You said fidgeting your fingers and looking at the ground.

"I didn't mean that- well I mean I did-"

"Don't worry" He interrupted you in that monotone voice that hurt you so much to hear "Just leave it like that."

"Y-yeah" Again you weren't able to tell him how you felt.

"Is that all?" Monoma said while staring at you.

"Actually, no" you said as you looked him in the eye with a determined gaze.

oh shit

"I did mean what I said earlier" shit, no.

"You do, look pretty much like the Kazoo kid" no, stop you dumbhead.

"But"

"Y-you also look very pretty. And I like you a lot Monoma."

...

He just stared at you with a surprised look on his face.

There was nothing but silence

"Andlikeyeahyou'rereallyhotandstuffandlikedamnbro" You just blurted out looking at the ground again.

This was the most embarrassing moment in your entire life and it only got worse as you heard that asshole burst into laughter.

Tears were threatening to fall from your eyes when you felt his soft fingers lift up your chin and you were suddenly staring into his blue gaze.

"You are weird, you know that?" His voice sounded so sweet and smooth which caught you off guard making you blush even more, which was a surprise.

"You are very pretty too and I also like you a lot" His gaze was soft and the way he spoke to you was enough to make you melt.

"And" he said leaning in closer to your ear "You also have pretty lips" he said in a low tone with what you could have sworn was a smirk but you weren't able to see it well because next thing you knew he was kissing you.

You closed your eyes and kissed him back, it was your first kiss as well as his; it was clumsy, a bit sloppy but it was beautiful.

You broke the kiss, your head resting against his chest, both of you breathing heavily and blushing madly.

"I think we're gonna have to practice on that" you said, a dumb smile across your face.

"Yeah, but only if you agree to become my girlfriend" Neito said caressing your cheek.

You planted a peck on his lips.

"I don't see why not, kazoo kid."

[need-a-new-hobby]

raising hell

figured id keep going so s1 ep 04 here we go

kay first off, noone moves that much in their sleep.

also slightly creepy that she wakes up and simon’s just watching her

somehow, i'm starting to see a similarity in simon and alec, a sentence i never thought i’d say. it’s interesting how they’re both trying to protect against their ‘better half’s’ trusting nature;

simon blames jace for the craziness

alec blames clary for the craziness

yay! magnus bane!

oh nooo, simon don’t leave

am i the only one wondering why jace has training equipment in his room? i mean the institute is filled with this stuff, why does he need a personal one?

so first clary barges into jace’s room which btw is super clean, just like canon, sees him shirtless and apologises (yay for human decency) and then turns her back for him to put his shirt back on? like she’s already seen him, what’s the point? and clearly this is not just me. just look at jace’s smirk.

captain america ha! i should just make a list of all the pop culture references simon makes about jace. also him yelling at jace to do his own homework, pent up rage issues anyone?

‘i’m not saving his ass a second time’ well, he does get kidnapped a lot

‘i think these are my people.’ really? so she’s just gonna turn her back on simon who’s practically her family? for what, the chance to be a shadowhunter? on a further note, how can she expect simon to just stay at the institute all day? i mean won’t his mom be super worried about him?

omg, david guetta’s a vampire. ha!

‘can you focus? this is not a joke?’ yeah, alec needs to meet his future husband.

did izzy just say alec needs to get slayed or laid? because for the latter, he needs to meet the guy first

i can’t help but be irritated every time jace takes the lead in season 1. let me see leader!Alec :(

‘warlock gets around.’ please tell me he isn’t slutshaming a warlock.

hahah. ‘how is it that my most effective asset is the one who’s comatose?’ whoever writes the lines for villains is a god.

also did the fair folk seriously send seelie scouts to chernobyl? ooh, tongue twister! seelies send six scouts spying on chernobyl! ha!

did valentine smell them or something?

oop pangborn dead! oh noo

we stan two positive girls slaying!

jace giving her another blade, let’s hope she remembers to use it this time

‘i was alive when the dead sea was just a lake feeling a little poorly.’ eek! book quote!

reference to tessa gray! yay!

i always hate how guys can get away with a dress shirt and jeans but girls have to wear dresses to parties. but my grumpy archer boy cleans up well.

hahaha. ‘at least now things are interesting.’ imma let alec explain

valentine is alive and actively seeking the mortal cup

he threatens our entire world

we’re helping his daughter (who by the way, we have no reason to trust and who showed up out of nowhere)

we’re gonna end up overpaying some warlock (my future husband) who may or may not have information we need

thus, alec does not find this interesting and does not feel better now (okay, maybe a li’l)

point to be noted: feelings can explode, and not the fun kind of explode according to izzy

simon’s home! also he’s acting like every pasty 15 yo gamer boy who stayed up to late and is now allergic to the sun.

mrs lewis is not ‘one of those moms’.

also maureen is very relatable with her whole ‘i’d like to date you.’ honestly very realistic.

so if all downworlders hang out at hardtail, is it just demons that hang out at pan-demon-ium? ‘cause if so, maybe it means demons love their damned puns

‘Iz, with a body like yours, everything is your colour.’ WE STAN ONE POSITIVE FRIENDSHIP!!!

‘most men like it when i admire their jewels.’ cue jace’s smirk, alec’s eyeroll and clary’s grin

‘magnus bane. so you’re the one who stole my memories.’ she doesn’t have to be such a dick to him. he did it at her mother’s request.

really? ‘i have to confirm it’s authenticity’. jace honestly fell for that?

again, she’s such a dick to him. ‘now it’s your turn to pay up.’ i can’t believe her.

really? dot’s dead? after all the times that woman should have died, i need to see a body

‘i won’t offer again.’ classic magnus. still love him.

‘who are you?’ why, your future husband of course. sorry, i just ship malec so hard. and this whole scene gives me book!malec vibes

“If Jace was gold, catching the light and the attention, Alec was silver: so used to everyone else looking at Jace that that was where he looked too, so used to living in Jace’s shadow that he didn’t expect to be seen. Maybe it was enough to be the first person to tell Alec that he was worth being seen ahead of anyone in a room, and of being looked at longest. And silver, though few people knew it, was a rarer metal than gold.”

the bane chronicles | the course of true love [and first dates]

‘you’re my only hope.’ should’ve treated him as that then. reason #15 why i dislike clary fray

hahaha, the irony behind the cat eye button.

how do they keep murdering circle members? not that i don’t appreciate alec’s timely rescue, but do they never take people alive?

‘we have to go’ jace moves to leave. cue clary just sitting down on a table.

‘i’m catching my breath.’ from what? she literally just got out of a nightclub. this matchstick is killing me.

‘we have risked our lives again and again for this girl and where has it gotten us?’ angry!archer time. also his eye roll when clary goes, ‘hey, i am right here.’ imma just do several dot points on this one scene, cuz it really pisses me off.

‘hey, i am right here, i don’t care about you damn jewellery.’ spoiler alert, neither does he, but chances are that necklace is worth thousands of dollars (a 1857 london townhouse for that matter). that kind of bargaining chip doesn’t come cheap and in exchange for it, they’ve gotten nothing.

‘i’m sorry you’re gonna look bad in front of your bosses.’ damn right he is. alec has a responsibility to bear and she should be glad he isn’t yelling at her. in fact he’s never yelled at her thus far. second, he’s liable for derunement and exile, not to mention the severe humiliation his parents will receive.

‘my mother is still missing and my last chance at finding her just disappeared into thin air.’ i mean, magnus did almost just die from that circle member if alec hadn’t shot him. and second, she should show a little less attitude to the people that are risking their lives and their jobs for her.

‘people are dying because of me. magnus will never come out of hiding again while valentine’s still after him and i will never get my memories back.’ first of all, the only person that died for her is dot (and even that’s unconfirmed). magnus came out of hiding for the necklace, and hotch isn’t dead yet. simon is about to be but clary fixes that anyway

ooh, emeraude’s accent makes a comeback. 

PARABATAI TRACKING!!!

‘of course they are.’ bitch, is she jealous? whaat? ‘this whole parabatai thing seems oddly intimate, if you ask me.’ literally noone asked. also, she could look a little happier that they’ve found a way out of this mess. second, i feel like that’s borderline homophobic, but that might just be me overanalysing again.

‘magnus lives in a warehouse?’ hahaha, the notion that magnus ‘dramatic bitch’ bane lives in a warehouse is insane. he bought a necklace with his townhouse for crying out loud.

also, why do they keep dragging her into these missions? she’s a liability with no training and she’s apparently the most un-athletic matchstick in the world considering she lost her breath exiting a nightclub. then again, clubs are exhausting.

sadistic shadowhunters. that’s nice.

future husbands fighting together warms my soul

were magnus’s first words to alec seriously a steak pun? ‘well done, more like medium rare.’ i love these dumbasses so much.

awww, alec’s first real smile. and the stuttering. it makes my cold, dead heart melt. AND THEN HE RUNS AWAY! GAAA

okay, so this whole magnus and clary thing has more than a few points, can’t wrap it up as neatly as the others but:

first off, he’s giving clary sole credit for saving zoe’s life when really it was all of them. technically she kicked his ass while izzy grabbed him and jace threw a knife in his back.

second, if she hadn’t called him out of hiding, this situation wouldn’t have even come onto him. and as much i hate to stomp on magnus, if he hadn’t been reckless enough to answer the call, they wouldn’t have been in danger.

third, clary is exactly like jocelyn, but for all the wrong reasons. clary uses people, offering them false promises she doesn’t have the capacity to deliver, and exploits anyone who gives her the most basic human decency, refusing to understand the cost at which they do so. (see alec)

fourth, she’s not a real shadowhunter, not without training or experience. that’s like calling a newly enlisted soldier an officer. sure, they’re part of the system, but you can’t send them into battle without an ounce of training. clary barely knows how the chain of command works. so saying, she’s not like the other shadowhunters is ridiculous. obviously she isn’t considering shadowhunters grow up in a society where downworlders are looked down upon. so when she’s introduced to this new world, obviously she looks at them as decent human beings.

‘normally, i love a dirty lair...’ ALEC’S FACE AT THAT HA!

also where’d all the warlocks? because it’s literally just the 5 of them. otherwise, imma have to assume they’re dead.

‘about Alec, is he more of a flower or cologne man?’ magnus’s subtlety is killing me.

‘pretty boy’ alec’s little smile and shrug though aaaa

‘trust no-one, especially the clave’ i mean, i get it but how’s she meant to protect it on her lonesome?

why does jace look so wounded? i’m starting to think he’s a little jealous of not getting hit on. oh nvm it’s cause he has to burn her flesh.

‘this might sting.’ cue clary screaming. i know, i know, i should feel worse about this but if any of you have seen the behind-the-scenes footage from matthew daddario’s twitter profile, you’ll understand. when they were shooting this scene, harry shum jr (magnus bane) was dancing outside and lip-syncing to kat mcnamera’s (clary fray’s) screams. it’s hard to get out of your head.

that pentagram is the most beautiful thing i’ve seen. i never thought i’d say that.

again, subtlety is not magnus’s strengths and i love him for it.

michelangelo

i aspire to be as dramatic as magnus bane is leading a demon-summoning ritual

aww izzy loves alec the most, clary and her mom obv, oh noo, alec and jace, that’s not good

also why does jace look so injured by it?

alec’s panicking, alec’s panicking, ALEC’S PANICKING

f*ck her memories, save jace. im assuming this whole thing is just a plot device to keep stuff spicy and to give clary credit for killing a greater demon.

i have to point out 4 things, you can skip this bit where i just talk about the team as people and how their reactions reveal stuff about them.

alec’s panic over injuries is very controlled which i think says a lot about him as a person where he has to control his reactions, but you can see he feels guilty

izzy instantly looks for any injuries, says a lot about her being more active and level-headed

clary, naturally, panics and looks to magnus for help

magnus sort of strolls over and brushes off his shirt. clearly apathetic about shadowhunter but expects that they’ll ask him to help and is his very cynical self (‘I don't know. Does he normally just lay like that without moving?') which naturally results in a very obnoxious face made by clary

somehow in this moment i feel worse for alec than jace. (maybe cause the latter is loud, arrogant and annoying) the guy’s terrified that he’s been out-ed, guilty about almost killing his parabatai and angry at himself for releasing the demon. and in typical alec fashion, instead of addressing his problems, he watches from a distance and then leaves.

okay, so jace has almost died from that demon, yet he’s the one asking clary if she’s okay?

vision time

okay how does valentine keep seeing stuff he’s not meant to see?

alright something i gotta point out. almost every angsty show/movie i’ve seen does the same thing where the girl gets frustrated at a necklace (usually a gift), rips it from her neck and throws it away. shouldn’t that have broken said necklace?

well, that’s the end of that. malec made all the difference in this ep. much more excited about magnus and alec finally meeting each other. till the next ep.

CANON DIVERGENCE ON THIS BLOG:

Regarding her exile from Sabertooth, please do not refer to it as a perverted thing, when she was told to strip. Jiemma doing this is a form of humiliation. We have seen that he uses this tactic to remind people very severely of their mistakes, as he did to Minerva in her youth. It was an act of harsh conditioning. Nothing more. This served to ensure Yukino would never make that mistake in the future, and by exiling her, he essentially told her: but you will never make a joke out of my guild again.

Yukino stayed in the Royal Guard following her exile for 14 months. She did not immediately return to Sabertooth, even though Jiemma was no longer the guild master. She was still hurt; not because no one stuck up for her ( she did not expect anyone to, and she would have stayed out of it herself had it been another ), but because no one bothered to reach out to her. The only people who comforted her were Natsu & Lucy, who did not even know her prior to the games. They didn’t need to go out of their way, but they did. It served to give Yukino perspective.

She didn’t offer up her keys to Lucy. She’s emotionally attached to her Celestial Spirits. ( Yes, even Ophiuchus ).

Yukino did not attend the ball. She was on guard-duty. The scene with everyone fighting over her did not happen.

By extension, the Welcome Home Frosch bit did not happen in my canon. She wasn’t with Saber, and even if she were, Rogue would .... NEVER ?? Titty-grab anyone...?

Yukino was not there to welcome Minerva back post-Tartarus.

Yukino rejoins Sabertooth just a couple of months before the events of Twin Dragons of Sabertooth.

She is a bit reserved following her comeback, and although she’s friendly to everyone, she still hasn’t really let anyone in. She still has some unresolved issues with her guildmates that she keeps to herself. She prefers to not be confrontational.

The crucifix scene did not happen. It doesn’t exist. Sabertooth were growing exhausted from extended fights & being outnumbered. Fairy Tail mages arrived to help them, and together, they won that fight.

Rahkeid’s magic does not do to them what it does in canon... That orgasm shit? Nah. Maybe... it causes pain, or paralysis to anyone who has committed actual atrocious sins ( such as murder ). I don’t know. But I’m scrapping its canon effects.

@agelessrp // mark of exile.

tw: murder, death, strangulation, false prison accusations. mark of exile is a book published by xavier donovan in 2019, and it’s now being adapted into a film. mark of exile is focused around a small town called seagrove, rhode island; the city of only 3,290 people has seen far too much death in the past twenty years. the main character, dominic ford, lost his mother when he was only five years old to the seagrove strangler - which allegedly is his father aaron ford. the town immediately blamed him once he couldn’t come up with a solid alibi, and suddenly, all the evidence started stacking up against him. aaron consistently said he was innocent, and the only people who believed him were his parents (who got custody of dominic when he went to jail) and dominic himself. growing up in a town where everyone hates your father wasn’t easy, but he remained convinced of his father’s innocence. his grandparents refused to move, stating that one day, everyone would come around and believe them. they finally started questioning the truth when the seagrove strangler appeared to make a comeback. while some believe this is just a copy cat, dominic knows this is the way to his father’s freedom, and he starts looking into the murders himself. the strangler took three girls last time, and now he’s on his third - gemma taylor. her twin brother, camden taylor, has little faith in the police after two other girls went missing, and he begins looking into the murders as well. dominic and camden cross paths and begin to work together to solve the murder, as well as falling in love in the meantime. the seagrove strangler ends up being a well known, respected businessman named william sinclair who lives in the small town and gave so many seagrove citizens jobs. if you’re interested in joining this project, please dm me on discord (paige#0728) or message me through im! discord is preferred however. behind the scenes: executive producer- producers- casting director- director- costume designer- make up artist- head writer- xavier donovan.  screenwriters- *other positions available upon request. main cast: dominic ford, 24 years old, main character- camden taylor, 23 years old, love interest & victim’s brother- elliott price. william sinclair, 55 years old, seagrove strangler- aaron ford, 45 years old, dominic’s father- supporting cast: danielle ford, 24 year old (flasbhacks), dominic’s mother- gemma taylor, 23 years old, current victim & camden’s twin- cassandra winston, 40+ years old, chief of police- charlie tate, 24 years old, dominic’s best friend- vanessa anderson, 22 years old, victim #1- madison carter, 25 years old, victim #2-

125. Sonic Super Special #9 - Sonic Kids 2

Zoneward Bound

Writer: Michael Gallagher Pencils: Sam Maxwell and Harvey Mercadoocasio Colors: Joshua D. and Aimee R. Ray

That's right, we're back to Sonic Kids! As with the first Sonic Kids special, I find this one to be full of really good foreshadowing and details from the past that flesh out the world and the plot more fully. In addition, this marks another comeback for Michael, who's been kind of absent from the comic lately. Let's jump right in!

We begin one winter many years ago, sometime after Sally formed the Freedom Fighters with the others in the past issue. She and her friends are playing in the snow, flinging snowballs around and having a good time, when one rogue snowball nails Rosie in the head.

When Sally starts sniffling and claims that she's just trying to distract herself from the loss of her father by playing with her friends, Rosie takes pity and sends the group down to a frozen pond, saying she'll bring them snacks in a bit. They happily race down and begin ice-skating, but are forced to take a quick break to let the ice re-freeze after Sonic accidentally melts it with the friction from his speed. While they wait, Sonic heads to the nearby well to get a drink of water, but when he and Boomer - sorry, Rotor - go to get the bucket, something strange pops out…

Mega, mega callback time. We're going all the way back to the first issue we ever reviewed, the first issue of the comic ever to be released - issue #0 of the Sonic Miniseries. In the first story of that issue, Sonic rushes to a well to fish out a ring that lets him defeat Robotnik and save the day. This, my dear friends, is that exact same well. They really went back a long way for that one, huh?

While the kids rush back to play on the pond again, the ring begins to glow, and suddenly they all slip on the ice and find themselves falling into three colorful portals. Sally falls into the first one alone, and finds herself on a crazy rollercoaster without any safety regulations whatsoever, meaning there's no restraints and the car keeps nearly flying off the track. She panics at first, but then remembers her royal training and forces herself to keep calm. As she does, she sees a strange object ahead, which turns out to be a vision of… her father's disembodied head!

While she gets a glimpse into her own future, we jump over to Rotor, Antoine and Tails, who find themselves floating in a strange space where reflections of themselves seem to talk to them. They stick together and try to fly themselves toward an escape route, not realizing that there's three figures watching them…

Ah yes, this "Chosen One" thing again. Seems the Ancient Walkers have been obsessed with Tails ever since he was tiny. We then see where Sonic ended up, which looks like an unfinished version of Green Hill Zone - as in, it's literally "under construction" with loops half-built on top of construction skeletons. Sonic races around, eager to find out who's building this place and how they do it, when he runs into a familiar face…

And here we have Sonic and Robotnik's first true meeting! Robotnik, evil as ever of course, tries to smash Sonic with his wrecking ball, but Sonic dodges, and decides that beating Robotnik is more important than finding the builder of the zone. He messes up Robotnik's little flying vehicle and then races off, and all at once the five friends find themselves flying back out of the zones and into the real world once more. Realizing that it was the ring they pulled from the well that caused their strange adventure, Sonic tosses it back into the well, leaving it there as a nice plot device for the very first issue of the comic!

What a nice tie-in! It's been a while since we referenced any of those really early issues, but I guess it makes sense that Michael would be the one to go all the way back to one of the first issues anyway, since he's the one who wrote most of them.

My Secret Guardian

Writer: Michael Gallagher Pencils: Manny Galan and Jim Amash Colors: Joshua D. and Aimee R. Ray

So have you ever wondered about the story of how Sally and Knuckles first met? It happened before Robotnik's takeover, when Sally's father decided to take a nice vacation to the Floating Island and take Sally along with him. Sally is excited to be spending one-on-one time with her father, and he doesn't tell her that his real reason for heading to the island is to check if there's any more information on whether Queen Alicia and Elias survived the shuttle crash from before, as well as to network with the Guardian Locke. Soon, their shuttle comes within view of the island and lands, with an enraptured Sally chattering away and asking every question that comes to her little mind.

Sally, mildly grumpy, paces around as her father heads off, but soon notices a pair of eyes watching her from a nearby bush. She leaps toward it and demands whoever it is come out, and out pops Knuckles! They initially bristle at each other, but as they try to one-up each other with their own prestigious duties and destinies, they realize they have a lot in common and become friends, chatting at the edge of the island. However, they soon begin arguing again, this time over who will have it harder once they take over their full duties, and get into a small scuffle. Sally uses the "flip back kick" that she used on Knuckles way back in the Sonic and Knuckles Mecha Madness special, and the fight comes to an end when Knuckles misjudges a blow and smashes into a tree, knocking it over.

They part ways and Sally quickly takes her turn hiding in the bushes as Locke comes to lead his son away. A few minutes later, King Acorn comes back as well, mentioning that during his talk with the Guardian of the island he'd learned that he had a son about Sally's age, but he "wasn't available" to chat with. Sally just replies that she already has enough friends back home, and together they get ready to spend a few days exploring the island together for their vacation, while Knuckles secretly watches them walk away from atop a nearby cliff, saying he feels that their paths will cross again someday. Really, it's kind of nice to see a young Sally spending some quality time with her father, because so far, ever since he's come back it's been nothing but conflicts and emotional trauma with him. Sally just gets to be a little kid here, sure with duties she's expected to fulfill, but no war to trouble her, no imminent destruction on the horizon, just a cool floating island to hang out on with her father. Poor thing could use some time to have fun before Robotnik's takeover. Speaking of which…

Eve of Destruction

Writer: Michael Gallagher Pencils: Art Mawhinney and Rich Koslowski Colors: Barry Grossman

This is easily my favorite story out of both Sonic Kids issues. We begin, as before, with Sonic and his friends playing outside, though Tails - or Miles, given when this story takes place - is notably absent, and they're in Mobotropolis instead of Knothole. A window opens nearby, and a face that looks very much like Miles' only with an eyepatch emerges and asks them to please play elsewhere so his wife can have some rest. As they walk away, we find out the identity of this man and his wife…

That's right, these are Miles' parents! His pregnant mother, Rosemary, asks her husband, Amadeus, not to leave her, as the baby may come any time now, but he insists he must go off to work for the day, as he's second in command of the royal guard. He explains that today is the day King Acorn will be appointing Warlord Julian Kintobor to the position of Minister of Science, noting that Sir Charles Hedgehog vacated the position after a mishap with his latest invention and has started a restaurant business instead. Hey, sound familiar? He's referring to the incident where Chuck accidentally turned his brother, Sonic's father Jules, into a mindless automaton, making him the first true Robian created. Amadeus says goodbye to his wife, and approaches Sonic, who excitedly asks if his baby will be a boy or girl and talks about how excited he is to have a new friend once the baby is born. Amadeus asks the kids to keep an eye on Rosemary while he's gone to make sure she's taken care of, to which they happily agree.

Meanwhile, Julian and Snively (the latter of whom has a full head of orange-brown hair) are hanging out within the royal laboratory, laughing evilly and plotting their takeover, including discussing Julian's intentions to exile King Acorn to the Zone of Silence. Snively then drags a beaver "volunteer" bound in ropes into the center of the room for a "test," and at that moment Amadeus happens to arrive to help with the refit of the lab.

Now, what would you do in this situation? I know that I, for one, would immediately get the hell out of there and get the attention of the king, because if I was second in command of the royal freakin' guard, I imagine the king would pay attention to what I had to say about any accusations of treason. I would muster forces and get there without alerting Julian, surround the place, and investigate thoroughly before he had a chance to cover up his treachery. But apparently, Amadeus is a total idiot, and immediately marches in gun drawn yelling for Julian to surrender because he's under arrest for being a traitor. Julian, of course, just laughs, insisting that Amadeus refer to him as Ivo Robotnik from now on, and reveals that he hasn't only been working on the roboticizer - he's built swatbots in secret as well, which he handily demonstrates by having one grab Amadeus, causing him to scream in alarm…

At the same time, Rosemary Prower begins screaming as well, and the kids all rush in to see what's wrong. Realizing that she's in labor, Sally has the others grab her toy wagon and they load the pregnant woman into it, and Sonic rushes her to Dr. Quack. She soon gives birth to a healthy baby boy with two tails. The king himself shows up to greet the new young'un into the world, and after a little while Julian and Snively show up… with Amadeus in tow. Julian claims that Amadeus had entered a contaminated room, and thus has him all wrapped up in a coat, hat, protective glasses and face mask, effectively obscuring his entire form. Rosemary is excited to show her husband his new child, but…

Before he leaves, the king reminds Julian to come see him after tonight's ceremony for his promotion to Minister of Science, as there's "going to be several other major changes around here," to which Julian agrees with an evil smile that the king completely doesn't pick up on. Outside, Julian allows Amadeus to take off all his coverings to reveal that he's also been roboticized, which seems like a bad idea to do in the middle of a populated area if you want your plans to remain a secret, and gleefully informs Snively that they'll launch their coup tonight and begin roboticizing the populace. Later that evening, after Rosemary has cried herself to sleep from the reaction of her husband, Sonic asks to hold the baby, hugging him and promising him they're going to be best friends when he's older, leading to the end panel announcing "The end (and, unfortunately, for the citizens of Mobius, it is also the beginning!)".

What a story, huh? Tails is born, his father is roboticized, and Robotnik stages his initial takeover of the kingdom all in the same day. I feel bad for Rosemary in all this. The story doesn't address what happens to her after the takeover begins, but even just losing her husband and then the kingdom she lives in is enough to spoil anyone's day, especially after having a baby. What I do find interesting about this story, however, is the sharp departure from the games' version of how Sonic and Tails met. In the games, Tails is a lonely kid teased for his twin tails, and upon seeing Sonic, is inspired by his speed and follows him. Once Sonic notices him, they become friends, with Tails looking up to Sonic and Sonic essentially adopting him as a younger brother. But in the comics, he knew Tails from day one, and Tails grew up with a group of friends from the start. It certainly makes for an interesting difference between the two incarnations of the characters.

Maxwell’s POV

“So Hana is already on a flight to LA? And Bastien has already gotten our travel arranged? And we have an actual address for Tariq to go to? And…all this…is set, right?” The truck is silent for a moment as Drake takes a deep breath while his knuckles turn white on the steering wheel. “Yes, yes, and yes Maxwell. For the hundredth time yes. So stop asking.” “Well, Savannah is the one who literally pushed me into your truck. I have nothing to occupy myself with until we can buy what we need since I wasn't allowed to pack or even have the chance to say I was going with you.” Maxwell huffs all in one breath. “And let the record show that I didn't want to go on this ridiculous trip. On top of that now you’ve forced me into an anxiety riddled wreck.”

“Maxwell, we all know you better than you know yourself right now. So just go with it.” “Why Drake, this is pointless. So, if we find Tariq, and somehow talk him into making a statement to clear Kristina’s name what is th-“ “Dammit Maxwell,” Drake cuts him off, “quit saying the same shit you’ve been saying over and over since she lef….went back to New York. Why can't anyone convince you that the worst case scenario is we clear Hampshire’s name so the tabloids and garbage nobles can't continue to gossip about her.” They’ll find someone else in less than five minutes to start on. “This ‘all or nothing’ idea you’re hung up on is not the only answer. We all get it, you want her name cleared so she’ll come back to you.” Maxwell's mouth is agape as he stares daggers into Drake. “Why…what…no it's not like that.” “For fuck sakes Maxwell, why can everyone see this but you. No, don't answer that, I don't have the patience this second. I’ll get you to grasp this when we get settled on the plane, but right now, mercifully, we’re here at the airport so get out of my damn truck.”

After easily checking in for their flight, they head to the gate and wait. Drake lets out a sigh and says out loud to no one in particular, “Thank gods Bastien has the magic of making travel happen fast.” I have to keep my emotions in check, or Maxwell will shut down again. Sinking back into his chair, he watches from about five yards away the younger Beaumont sit, then stand, then pace, then sit, then stand, then pace until they are called to board the plane. While taking their oh so close to each other seats, Drake admits to himself that any hopes of escaping this conversation are now squashed, making him huff out suppressed air. 

As the plane takes off Drake turns to Maxwell and states flatly, “Lets chat.” “Drake, you don't chat, ever.” “That is a true and fair statement. So instead what I am going to do is ask you questions and you give me answers. And be warned, I WILL keep you focused and on track. I’m not wasting time on this when I could be sleeping.” Maxwell hears the crescendo of frustration, impatience, and a little anger peppered in, as his unlikely traveling companion speaks. Drake’s tone makes Maxwell involuntarily lean away wide eyed until the plane’s window stops allowing him to go back any further. “Um Drake, you look pretty upset and kinda scary right now.” 

“Just follow the rules and it will be fine. I ask questions, you answer honestly, and we stay on track. Also remember you are the worst lier. You got all that?” “Do I have a choice? Because I’m not feeling like there a choice since I’m in the window seat, and you're blocking aisle. Plus, even though the seats are tight I’m pretty sure you could still find a creative way to punch me.” “Yep, you’ve got no choice. So now we're on the same page. Ok first question. How much time did you and Hampshire spend together during the Social Season?” Maxwell kinda wiggles in his seat and sheepishly answers, “Um, a lot? Not specific, I know, so please don't hit me!” “Not going to, that's a fair answer. I wasn't expecting a down to the second count.” “Whew, because that would really be impossible to figure since you have to subtract hours of sleep, and activities with the other su….” “Maxwell FOCUS.” “Uh, yeah. Sorry.” 

Drake looks past Maxwell for a few seconds out the window and then turns back. “I just need a simple yes or no for this one, so try for me. Was a good portion of that time with Hampshire spent shopping for cloths, dancing and whatever else it is that makes you, uh…Maxwell?” Maxwell squints as he thinks, “Yes, but don't forget the spectacular screwup I am too.” Drake shuts his eyes and massages his temples. “Ok, not a simple yes or no answer like I asked for, and lets forget your ‘screw up’ thought for now and stick to one ‘Maxwell’ issue at a time. So even though the time was supposed be done in the name of House Beaumont’s suitor, you and Kristina enjoyed a lot of time that technically wasn't necessary, and maybe without one-hundred percent consideration of Bertrand’s scheming to push her to ‘win’ the prince?” More like a blasted reality TV competition. “Yeah, I guess. We had so much fun though! This one time when we were at…” Drake glares. “Uhhh, focusing. Absolutely focused.” Maxwell sits on his hands.

“What was the best part of the Social Season for you?” Drake sees the look in Maxwell's eyes change from apprehension to tenderness, while he answers softly. “Well, honestly, waking my little blossom up in the mornings. She is completely adorable when all sleepy and so funny with a foggy head. It was always a fun time to pick on her with her slowed down witty comebacks. And just to start the day with her. Mornings were the best, usually just the two of us before breakfast each day.” Maxwell’s mouth begins to form a huge grin as he gazes off into space. Drake just shakes his head trying to hide the smirk on his face. “What Drake? I answered your question with an honest answer.”  “Oh, I know you did. But, do you know you just really smiled for the first time since the night of the Coronation?” Maxwell was at a loss for words for a minute. “No, I’ve smiled since then.” “Not ones like this Maxwell.” Maxwell just looks down at his hands and doesn't say anything.

“That's what I thought.” Drake shifts in his seat. “Damn these commercial planes are uncomfortable. Ok, next question.” “Really, more Drake?” “Yes. If you can't hold a conversation without going around in the same circles, and you keep running away from any of us when we breach the subject of Hampshire, I’m going to keep this simple and direct.” Trust me, without whiskey this is killing me. Hell, even with whisky this would still be a form of torture. “I don't see why we are bothering at all with this, Drake. She, she left her best friend…er…friends.” Drake pinches the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and ring finger finally snapping.  “We are continuing because we don't know any concrete reasons for her decisions. Only you seem to think you know for certain, and you're so, ugh, fucking frustrating right now. I mean to me you always are, but this is so madding. Furthermore, we are continuing because Hampshire is one of all of our best friends, and…awe hell…she broke through and turned you all into really good friends of mine too. Now back to the part where I ask questions.” Maxwell is wearing small crooked grin. “Why are you smiling at me?” “Because Drake, you just said I’m one of your good friends.” “Ugh, don't let it go to your head. Getting back on track now. Recently when you’ve been doing all this shit for Bertrand, and the estate, what are you trying to ignore? And don't deflect the question or say you're not ignoring something.” Maxwell shrugs. “It's because Bertrand expects my help. That's all.” Drake rolls his eyes. “Remember the part where I said you are a shitty lier?” He arches an eyebrow at him, while Maxwell turns to look out the window.

“Ok, lets try another route here. When you wake up what is the first thing you think of everyday?” Maxwell slowly turns from the window and quietly answers, “Kristina.” “And who does your mind wander to throughout the day?” Maxwell avoids Drake’s stare and sighs. “Kristina.” “Who have you missed most while you’ve you put yourself into this forced exile?” “Kristina.” “Ok, last one. Who do you wish you were holding at the end of each day, and even holding right now?” “Kris…” Drake quickly sits back with a smug look. “So, Maxwell, we finally agree that you love her.” Maxwell raises his voice a bit. “So what if I do. It changes nothing. She left me…alone…with no contact.”

Maxwell turns his head and again stares out the window for a few minutes, while Drake just leans his seat back waiting for him to speak. Finally in a soft and almost somewhat defeated voice, “But Drake, even if she did like me too, in that way, she had a prince who was choosing her. There is no way she would see me…see me more than a best friend. I’m nothing like Liam.” His face changes to a pained expression. “…but Drake, every time I close my eyes I see visions of her, and during the day sometimes I see mirages of her as if my mind is playing tricks on me.” “Maxwell, look at me.” Maxwell won't turn from the window. “Seriously…” Drake shakes his head, “look at me. Good gods I never knew this happy go lucky thing you have, and seeing the good in everything was just fueled by such stubbornness.” Drake grasps Maxwell's shoulder lightly. “There were signs that you and Liam missed, and Bertrand ignored, seen by everyone else. For one, how the expressions of her eyes began to change almost daily when she looked at you and stole glances. How her body language changed as she danced with you. How she had a special laugh just for you. It didn't take long for Hana to pick up on it, and then she drug me along until I saw it too. She turned it into a mission to get you both to admit your feelings for each other. And so here we are, clearing names and playing Cupid.” Drake shakes his head, “Things I do for you people.”

Maxwell takes a long time to process it all. This conversation, the Social Season, and the little signs he guesses he missed along the way. Drake is almost asleep when Maxwell bolts up straight in his seat, tapping his now bouncing legs while his countenance beams, and he asks with a voice full of excitement, “So, you think it might actually be possible? I mean her… me…I mean it seems crazy but…there's hope, right?” “We’ll find out. But there's been time between then and now for things to have happened, but, aw hell, I’m a guy. I don't know.” Maxwell can't sit still at all now. “Oh for fucks sakes.” Drake grimaces. What have I done? “Now you’re going to be more normal,” Drake uses air quotes around the word normal, “Maxwell on this trip from this point on, aren't you.” Drake drops his head into his hand. “You know it, buddy!” Maxwell is on the edge of his seat still bouncing, which is coincidentally bounces Drake’s seat. I can't believe I’ve made it this far into this conversation without alcohol. Where is the stewardess?

“Sooooo, you think Hana will know? I mean she must. Girls talk about this stuff. When does she land in LA?” Drake, with his head still in his hand, looks at Maxwell through the space between his fingers. “Even if Hana knows anything from before the coronation night, I’m sure there's some kind of girl code or Hana knows some kind of protocol for these types of things. Doubt you'll get anything out of her.” “Okay, so we find Tariq, get him to give the statement, then what Drake?” Drake sits up seeing Maxwell's unabashed hopeful look, “Then we try and find Hampshire.” “Really? YES!!!! Where have you and Hana decided to look first? Ohhhh, does Hana know where Kristina is?” “Unfortunately, no. She hasn't heard from Hampshire at all. Just like the rest of us. But, we are going to start in New York.” “Ummm, New York City is huge!” Maxwell’s eyes grow large as he looks at Drake. “We’ll start where all this started.” Drake says matter of factly. “At a little dive bar we both know.”

“dark hollow” impressions

OK, first things first: Belle's back! I feel like celebrating!

My screenshot finger slipped. A lot.

I hadn't even realised how much I missed her. Real Belle. Accept no substitutes; especially not hallucinatory ones. Yes, Rumple, I'm looking at you.

As is Regina

I really liked that little scene on the beach, too. After all the shouting and snark last time, seeing these two in a quiet moment (while they were not actively working against each other) really rounded out their dynamic for me. Of course, they still can't keep entirely from sniping at each other, but what else are best enemies for?

Overall, this episode had a lot of nice moments, but otherwise feels like the show is taking that deep breath before the jump. Which is odd, considering there’s still four episodes left.

Thoughts about the things that did happen are under the cut.

One of the more shocking revelations this episode was that the whole Neverland plot so far has only lasted 5 days. I'd have guessed something closer to two weeks, but I'll admit that wasn't based on anything in the series.

So. Rumple's gone and Belle is 1) depressed about him pretty much saying that he's going to his death and 2) the fact that he left her behind, to the point where she's convinced herself that "he doesn't need her". Belle. Girl. Buddy. He needs you so much he literally started seeing a hallucinatory version of you roughly three minutes after arriving in Neverland. I'm not saying you two should talk more, but maybe you two should talk some more when he comes back. (Shh, he's coming back, and I won't hear a word against that. Not that I'm worried. At all.)

Which made the way she reacted when Ariel came with news from Neverland all the better. Poor woman was about to lose hope, and then...

I will not make a Star Wars joke, I will NOT make a Star Wars joke...

So, she follows the very cryptic advice and finds Pandora's Box, which Rumple has in his shop, of course. Honestly, I'm not even surprised at this point. If he went "Holy Grail? Sure, second shelf from the top; mind the cloak, it's poisoned", I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Probably.

"Shouldn't you be wearing gloves or something?"

Let it be known on this day that I love Ariel with all my heart and I would like to keep her, please. And since Ruby seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth, Belle could use the second friend. In addition to Grumpy, I mean.

And then the Darlings turned up. I'd like to say that I called this one in advance, but I only got to the point of "that bear looks familiar." At this point, I think Belle has been threatened, shot, and captured enough times that she should qualify for some kind of premium card. At least she and Ariel got out in one piece (yay, teamwork!) and saved the box. And in true Belle fashion, she did it by giving them hope for a better future -- one where they may be better able to live with themselves. I just really like Belle, OK?

(...guys, I am going to die at the Rumbelle reunion. I already got teary-eyed at Belle’s reminiscence over the chipped cup. I had chest pains when Rumple said "and tell Belle I love her"; I'm not going to survive the real thing.)

Meanwhile, in the Love Triangle-- Uh, I mean, the Save Henry Plot...

That... doesn't look healthy...

Emma, Neal, and Hook are off to catch Pan's Shadow with Neal's magic coconut. No, that's not one of my nicknames, they actually call it that. There's, of course, the whole love triangle situation going on, mostly because Hook is obviously the type to kiss and tell, but I've seen so many of those that it kind of fades into background noise. Also, I'm kind of with Emma on this one; romantic entanglements can wait until after they've saved her son. Luckily for my sanity, both men seem to agree, though for different reasons. (The less said about "...and I will win it", the better, really.)

Emma's magic makes a pretty badass comeback! I'm really curious to see how that shakes out in the future. (::cough:: I am also strongly in favour of more magic lessons with Regina ::cough::)

Oh, and Snow and Charming finally have it out. David admits that he messed this one up and that he should have confided in Snow. Good for him, I say. And of course, Snow wants to stay with him, even if it means getting stuck in Neverland. Really, after everything they've been through, I hadn't expected anything else. I’d just really like not to see them explain that to Emma. I doubt it’ll go over well... (Like I said, she’s an adult, and her parents should be able to live their own lives, but finding and losing them in the span of only a few months? Ouch.)

Of course, I really hope that's not the last word on this, because I'd miss these two if they were to stay on the island.

By the way, did I mention that Pan was a manipulative little shit? Because he is.

Sure, Henry, this looks like a nice place to visit...

So, after the Death of All Magic™ (::dramatic minor chord::) wasn't enough to get Henry into hero mode, Pan makes him think that a young girl's life depends on it. What. An. Ass. And poor Wendy. Actually, poor Darlings. All of them. I kind of hope that Neal doesn't know about this, because damn, that was a pointless 200-odd years of exile on the Horror Island, wasn't it?

Speaking of -- we finally have a way off the island, but like I said: four more episodes. I'll still assume that stuff's gonna go down next time until proven otherwise.

…which should be in about an hour.

[Fun] Let’s talk about our favorit actors and why we would do 'everything' to make him/her smile^^

welcome to post 1.001 yes, I couldn’t belive it myself... I made 1.000 posts in less than a year O_O I guess you can call me an addict 笑

so using this occasion...

I want to give something I tried before (September 2017) a 2nd chance^^ (maybe this time people will tell me about their favorit actor/actress笑)

I really want to know so please tell me about your №1 + you can read about mine under the cut (ᵔᴥᵔ)

I really ♡ Nakamura Yuuichi (中村優一; ← actor, not seiyuu!!!! )

He is and will ever be the person I will LOVE the most of all those j-actors^^

He is such a lovely dork and I really like his smile.

Some facts first:

① born October 8, 1987 [he is 2½ weeks older than me笑] ② nickname ~Channaka~「ちゃんなか」(Naka-chan backwards) ③ best known for his role ‘Sakurai Yuuto’ (Kamen Rider Zeronos) in Kamen Rider Den-O (2007)… but did you know that he actually played ‘Kiriya Kyousuke’ in ‘Kamen Rider Hibiki’ (the first actor to portray 2 Kamen Rider)

④ assigned to G-Star.Pro ( ジースター・プロ ) ⑤ has 2 Chihuahua ~Zero~ (Kamen Rider Zeronos) & ~Spica~ ↓ ↓ ↓ (Futatsu no Spica)

⑥ was part of Johnny’s Jr. (~2003)

⑦ had poor health as a child (asthma) [same here!!! in and out of the hospital] ⑧ loves reading shoujo-manga (ex: Good Morning Call グッドモーニング・コール / he had a cameo in the drama adaptation epi.15/16) and listening to jpop (Shounan no Kaze, Kis-My-Ft2, EXILE, CHEMISTRY, AAA ← friends with Nishijima Takahiro & Atae Shinjirou since ‘Delicious Gakuin’) ⑨ former member of a group of actors called D-Boys

as I talked about in one of my earlier posts… I really feel connected to Channaka and he kinda ‘helped’ me during the hardest time of my life. [check out my post about ‘Doukyuusei’ if you want to know why^^]

… when I heard he would be in the special unit called D☆DATE (together with Araki Hirofumi, Igarashi Shunji, Seto Koji & the new member Horii Arata) in 2010, I was so happy for him… because he deserved some more attention! He is one of the few boys who didn’t act in Tenimyu and that was really hard for him, because most of the D-Boys acted in it and became kind of “famous” for it.

In interviews he often talked about that he couldn’t get over the fact the he didn’t have a chance to be in Tenimyu and he couldn’t understand why, especially because he came out first at the 1st D-Boys audition.

And finally he got the attention he deserves, the most unthinkable thing ever happened. Right before his new stageplay (D-BOYS STAGE 2010 trial-2 ラストゲーム ) it was announced that he will take a break from work to cure his ‘chronicle back pain’. It was a huge shock for me because they announced it right before I moved to Japan. I still remember that I was sitting on my packed boxes in the livingroom when my friend called and told me the news…

almost a 1 year later we still had no real information about his condition… it was really depressing. I went to almost all D☆DATE events wearing orange things/stars (his member colour) and was even on TV (はなまるマーケット hanamaru market) with these ↓ ↓ ↓  uchiwas ↓ ↓ ↓  just to show that we were still waiting for him T^T

At the 1st Concert Tour of D☆DATE we finally got some ‘news’. They talked about him, said that it’s sad he couldn’t make it in time for the concert, but he would be trying his best to show up on stage again as soon as possible. I was crying while they showed pictures of him during the con because I felt so helpless.

After all the terrible things that happend in the first half of 2011 (the Fukushima-incident, the sudden death of my aunt, trouble with my former workplace…) I was kinda happy to hear that Channaka was still part of the group and the members where all waiting for his comeback!!! I thought that it would be only a matter of time until I could finally see him safe and sound on stage again… I was soooo motivated that I created a photo album with many pictures from fans all around the world to cheer him up and show him that soooooooooooo many people are waiting for him!!! I wrote the first fanletter (~8pages) of my life and told him that his fans would always support him and would wait for him as long as it would take for him to recover… and I wrote something that some fans would never understand… ‘If you wanna quit, don’t worry about us… we will respect your decision!!’ actually there is a reason why I wrote something like that…  

I heard from a friend who worked as a model for Watanabe Enertainment, that he had no ‘back-pain-problems’ at all!!! He was suffering from depression… [he had a hard time in August 2010 and realised that he couldn’t perform with this unstable condition, so he stopped coming to rehearsal 2 weeks before the actual stage… I can understand that the other D-Boys member were not amused about it… but what I heard from my friend made me really sad: they started to bully Channaka and told him to quit… especially the D☆DATE members didn’t want him to come back!!!… from my experience with the industry in Japan, this is quite common (especially Johnny’s Enertainment) but I still find it hard to understand]  ← I got this information from a friend, no official statement!!! + I don’t hate any D-Boys members… I’m just sad about the fact at all!!!

And than,on November 8th, 2011 (4 weeks after I handed out my letter & 2 weeks after my B-day) it was announced that he would retire from D☆DATE/D-Boys ＿|￣|○ (I had never expected that this would happen… I cried a lot!! who would think that this little sentences in a little fanletter from a little foreign girl would come reality. I don’t believe that it was the trigger for his decision… but still… the timing… I was shocked) The ‘official’ statement was ‘in order to recover he needs to conentrate on rehabilation more’… but I couldn’t believe this anymore!!!

The following year Watanabe announced that he would completely retire from the entertainment world and I was crashed… I met soooo many people from the industry (not only because I went to a lot of events… my job gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of people in private) but the only person I ever wished to meet in Japan ‘disappeared’ and my chances to ever see him in person were almost 0…

And than in the beginning of 2013, he all of a sudden started his new blog where he posted pictures of him posing with friends (O_O) Rumors started to spread that he opened up a café/bakery with a friend (but I have no detailed information about that). I was so relieved that he was doing fine^^

AAAAAAAND 1½ years later the best thing ever happened!!!! August 30th, 2014: Nakamura Yuuichi returned to the entertainment industry. I was jumping up and down in my room, called my best friend (who isn’t even a fan at all笑) and poured my whole soul out^^

It took a while for him to come back on screen, but it was worth waiting for!!! The first role he represented after his comeback was ‘Sakurai Yuuto’ in  ‘Superhero Taisen GP Kamen Rider 3 Gou’ (スーパーヒー��ー大戦GP 仮���ライダー3号)

I think you get it by now… Kamen Rider Den-O (Sakurai Yuuto/Ootsuka Houchuu aka Denebe) means a lot to him!!! and if you are still not convinced… try to listen to the recording from ‘Kamen-Raji-Ranger 仮面ラジレンジャー’ I was at the venue when they recorded the show T^T aaaaaand just for the records…

this was the first time seeing him in person right in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!! (August 18th, 2015 will go down in history^^) can you believe it… it took me almost 5 years to meet him (O_O)

(the pic I posted on twitter after I saw his post^^)

since then he acted in soooo many great productions and had a few leading roles (薄桜鬼SSL ~sweet school life~ / 舞台 裁判長!ここは懲役4年でどうすか 2016 / スレイブメン / 舞台 警視庁抜刀課 / 舞台 BRAVE10/ 舞台版 ヘルプマン! ~監査編~ / 最後の晩ごはん)

Seeing him working this hard after all that happend in the past, I decided that I will follow and support him as a fan for the rest of my life笑 He will always be my №1 ♡

If you feel like supporting him or just got interested in him… here are some things I recommend:

① check out his: twitter official blog wikipedia

② (re-)watch Kamen Rider Den-O

③ take a look at his photobooks^^

1st shashinshuu (2008)

2nd photobook (2010)
